"ASUS P5Q Deluxe discussion".

[BababooeyHTJ]

I tryed also with the Crucial Ram .......same problem.

What can be happened ?

Maybe the CPU is not happy to work on a P45 ?

You might want to flash to 1702m, Im having good luck with it and have heard nothing but good things.

Having problems getting 500fsb stable on my e8500. can anyone help? this chip is stable at 485*9.5 btw.

I have 4x1gb OCZ 8500 SLI ....easily do 1186mhz @ 2.16V actual

Try the above to see if we can get 500FSB stable ( I would set 7 multi ) try to go as low on the Vcore as possible ( I usually test 30 minutes Small FFT, if all passes, I lower Vcore one or two notches and test again, till it fails, then I up two more that should keep it sort of stable)

First thing is to get the CPU stable then tweaks later on

Sorry for stupid question, where is located NB on P5Q Deluxe?

It's under the heastink that is just below ya CPU (with the blue Asus logo on it)

Some people claim that they can use less voltage with Ket's bios than the vanilla one, I'm very sceptical of those claims... as his biosses did nothing for any of my 3 boards... but his biosses added ram support tables which can help out others , but if he modified the voltages etc dunno bout that... Form 1611 on I could drop a notch lower on the Vcore but that was a vanilla one

Setting 7 multi was no problem with these settings, should I try higher multi or lowering vcore?

*update*
Setting 7.5 multi was no problem either passed without a problem. Setting multi 8, pc wouldn't even boot. Just the fans spinning. I upped the Vcore to 1.35 and bluescreened upon entering Windows... Any ideas?

Well , I can use a bit less than 1406, but I also needed more voltage than I needed for 1406 than I needed for 0803. I saw a few other people posting the same thing here about 1406. I doubt that it did anything for me that the vanilla bios couldnt do. I had origionaly flashed it because I was having ram issues. I just rmaed my other 2x2gb kit, but it wouldnt hurt to try out an mbios.

More Vcore then mate try straight 1.45 and then try to go lower...

Ofcourse it can't hurt if done correctly... but my point is that I read already a few times and on german forums too that voltage control is better on the Mbiosses (read that they can use lower Vcore etc...), I have serious doubts Ket even adressed that part of the bios (Vcore droop/drop, GTL's etc...)...

Isn't that to high for E0 chips What should I have my temps at? Like what is the highest I should attempt?

[franksnb]

is anyone having problems with wireless networks and skype with this board?

deluxe dont have onboard wireles. Do you ave problems with pci-e card ?

I keep my coretemps sub 65°C under IBT.. think you got a very bad Wolfdale CPU that needs massive amounts of volts for a normal OC... Aim for 1.4 then to feel safer...

Does your TRUE feel loose when it's screwed down ? I inset a small piece of adhesive tape under the pressure point so the mount is better ( drops my temps also another 3-4°C)

Yeah... very bad Wolfdale it is probably. 1.4 is a no go

[Leeghoofd]

try 7.5 multi and see how low you can go on the vcore

[Melhisedek]

I think chip is obviously dud. So I'm just gonna give up and live with what I've got. Poor thing need 0.1 vcore increase for less than 200Mhz. Something is wrong there

Hello to all ...this is my first post here and just wanted to say thanks to all that shared their settings and tips. I know 4ghz is no big deal anymore but still here it is ....p5q deluxe mushkin redlines 2x2 gb e8400

[Ket]

I have serious doubts Ket even adressed that part of the bios (Vcore droop/drop, GTL's etc...)...

The EBB controls fundamental aspects such as that (or it should be doing so..) so me replacing the EBB with the EBB from the Premium makes perfect sence that voltage regulation would be better.

[douirc]

i could use some help getting my new LG GGC-H20L Blu-ray drive connected to the Marvell sata ports. I put it on the ich10r ports and it works fine, so i know nothing is wrong with the drive or the cable. i also put plugged in an ide drive and the Marvell chipset detected it during post. what i can't do is get the Marvell chipset to detect the blu-ray drive during post. I assume it should see the drive during post, right?

[Leeghoofd]

The EBB controls fundamental aspects such as that (or it should be doing so..) so me replacing the EBB with the EBB from the Premium makes perfect sence that voltage regulation would be better.

And how did you know that the voltage regulation and co on the premium board was better than the other versions ? you just try it or do you see that via ya bios readers....What's the physical difference between the Dlx and the Premium in the voltage section ? or the bios...

[douirc]

does the marvell controller support ATAPI devices, or hdd only?

What's the latest rev of the bios? I'm going to spend today trying to overclock for the first time

edit: is there a "most stable" template for a q9450 at a fairly mild OC? (Air) The thread is so damn long I don't think I'll ever find it otherwise

edit2: I think I found the latest bios (1702) here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=210531 - let me know if that's no good with the 9450... until then, I'm on a search for a q9450 stable OC template to start from

Hello Again

I have a little trouble with the Board.

I made a lot of tests with several softwares to look for a stable system.

So far it was all ok. Runned Orthos a long time in Priority 9 and Intel Burn Test with 15 Passes without error.
I made a long test with prime95 too and Memtest86 to have a look for errors but it was all ok.

Now when i start Games,randomly, the system freezes the picture stops and i hear only stuttering audio and nothing helps only by pushing the reboot button i can restart the system,this can happen after 5min of game or 1 hour random.

Does anyone expect the same problem with the Board, stable tests and when gaming the system hangs ?

My config is
P5Q Deluxe
G.Skill F2 8500 1066Mhz @ 1080Mhz same problem a 900Mhz 5.5.5.15
Intel E8400 Cooled By Noctua NH-U12P
NVidia GTX260 POV

With FSB 400 for CPU and 1066Mhz Ram i didn't expect it right now but i am still testing.


The same problem i have expected on Maximus 2 Formula with the same hardware.

What can be the problem ?

Anyone help me please.

Hello Again

If you remember the problem i had.

Now i supposed a problem of compatibility between C0 Step CPU's and My Mobo and i changed my CPU to an E8600 Step E0 to test this.

The result is the same, at High FSB (over 430Mhz) and using the system playing, the system freezes like with the CPU before.

I writed on Asus forum too and i fuond a person that have the same problem.

So i think that is really annoing cause potentially i can run 500Mhz FSB and test it without problems but when i go in High Stress while Gaming it does not work.

The only thing is to hope that Asus solve this little problem.

At the moment My system runs 420x10 CPU FSB and Memory is @560Mhz, no issues and all voltages at minimum SB 1.20 NB 1.20 CPU 1,25V.

I will give you more feedback if i find something new.

OK i have a asus P5Q3 deluxe, an intel E8600, and gskill ddr3 1600 RAM, I so far have only been able to over clock it to 4.4 Ghz stable, with my CPU voltage at 1.462. With at 10x CPU ratio with and FSB of 440. But i see that theres alot of diff. options i could change to maybe get it faster. I want to try to push 5 GHz on this CPU, but i cant keep it stable. I would like to know even if the mobo is able to do that. And if it is how can i do that.

P.S. temp. is not a problem at 4.4Ghz on a full load its still running a 25 to 29 C.
