Modded ASUS P5Q/Pro/Deluxe/Premium BIOS

[mikeyakame]

Ket,

What's it you are adding from X48 exactly? Hope it works out ok, I'm hoping to do similar for X48 bios' to pull stuff from the RE.

Hi Ket

Tried raising the vcore to 1.275 - even went to 1.35 but still no luck - guessing the mem is still unhappy with the faster FSB's.
Any other settings (n/b s/b volts, Ai transaction Booster) that are worth changing to make mem more compatible ?

Thanks for your reply

Tried raising NB, SB and memory voltage? try 1.3-1.4v for NB & SB, and 2.1-2.2v for memory.

Hi Ket!

Whats the difference between the P5Q 1501m and the P5Q 1501m v1 ?

Its explained a page or so back.

Ket,

I'm taking the EBB from the RE and its P6 table. The former just to see what results people can get when OCing their memory and how pull-ins and latencies are changed, the latter just to see if it makes a difference to CPU clocks, I'm thinking not, but worth a shot.

Hi Ket

"Tried raising NB, SB and memory voltage? try 1.3-1.4v for NB & SB, and 2.1-2.2v for memory."

Didn't work. I'm lost for answers on this prob. Seems like i'm gonna have to take out 4gb of the RAM & try overclocking more again.

Thanks for your advice

Ket,

Interesting mate! EBB contains instructions for hardware init doesnt it? Routing Ports, DMA, Interrupts, etc yes?

[Ket]

Apparently not. If it did all sorts of things would go weird, but it all works as it should. I suspect DMA, interrupts etc are all probably contained in the single link arch bios module.

1613m for p5q pro works like a charm, I'm able to boot 4.5Ghz with my E8500 C0, I've never been able to do that before, though I didn't try to get it stable.

I'm also able to get higher stable oc than before

[Huttala]

DL and try the earliest Vista release? Makes sence for a first release it would use an old formula slightly rehashed.

I've tried that too, doesnt work.
And I can't get my freakin USB memory to boot right either!

Looks like I have to install XP 32-bit too solve this problem if anyone else doesnt have any other ideas.

Anyway, just have to tell you that ur doing a great job with theese BIOS releases ket. Keep up the good work!

V1 versions in this pack use a memory table from a early BIOS version of the Maximus 2 Formula, where the other vesrion in the pack uses the memory table from the latest M2F BIOS, 1802.

I see now...and which one do you recommend for overclocking 4DIMM-s?

[DMF]

New BIOS versions in the works! These are HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL! I'm pulling some aspects of the X48 and attempting to meld them. ... the only boards that will have these BIOSes are the boards with dual BIOS chips.

Does that include P5Q Pro?

[roubagalinhas]

i dont have any trouble overclocking ram, 500 1.8v and 533 1.9v, both CL5, with Team Elite 2x2GB PC6400 CL5 sticks
but can't say the same about my cpu. could this any of this moded bios help?

i have a P5Q-E Rev A2 bios 1103, that did 500FSB flawlessly on a E6600, with all board voltages on "minimum"(aka the first manually defined after minimum)

with current E7200 i can´t boot to windows with higher fsb than 400~410, when previous owner of this cpu guaranteed me it made at least 550FSB on a P35 board

i had the same issues with all oficial bios (prior to mine) that i've tried

[Kai Robinson]

try my settings:

FSB: 421
Multi: 9.5
vCore: 1.41875
vFSB: 1.2
vNB: 1.2
vPLL: 1.54

I wanna try lol. You say it all works as it should as if you have tried it already. If so then is it better? I have missed out on all kinds of stuff by spending all of my time playing games.

hi ket

whatt the best bios for p5q-pro with 4x1gb cellshocks?

i have with the ocz the 1106 vanilla

lg echti

e8400 @ 4000mhz 500x8>1,18vcore

Haven't really tested it, no time. Feel free to let us know if it works better for you though

Still figuring that out myself.

Now this is the x48 table BIOS you are talking about right? If s where is it, I totally missed the post with it. I will try it for you.

[krompirusa]

I have one question for all P5Q useres, specialy for thoose with D9GMHs.My P5Q non pro looks like she doesnt like D9GMH. I have pair of Crucial Value 667 CL5 2x1GB(D9GMH), and they cant go more then 1100 on this mobo.With SuperTalent ddr2 800( PowerChip i can hit 600FSB(1200ddr2) easy). Any experiences with P5Q non pro and overclocking GMH on it?? I tryed 4 difrent bioses, but no improvment. This GMHs are pretesred, on 630+(1260ddr2).

Any solution or tip, will be welcome.Thnx

Hi all.
I´m sitting here with my p5q-e and looking after best bios for this mainboard.
I wannt to hit 500fsb with this mainboard. i have tryed lot of bios and bios settings with out any luck.
So i hop anybody can give me some rek of good bios for p5q-e
the hardware im trying to o/c is:
P5q-e
E8200
A-data 2x2gig (Gaming serie)

So have best//kTa

[truehighroller]

This is what I am talking right here about this post.

New BIOS versions in the works! These are HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL! I'm pulling some aspects of the X48 and attempting to meld them. Due to unknow behavior, to start with the only boards that will have these BIOSes are the boards with dual BIOS chips. If all goes well the other boards will follow with their own versions.

This is after post 1448 on the next page so they can't be what you are talking about.

[Ket]

These ones

Here is a set of "new" mBIOSes. They sacrafice a little in way of CPU compatibility (not as many microcodes) but memory compatibility theoretically is through the roof. V1 versions in this pack use a memory table from a early BIOS version of the Maximus 2 Formula, where the other vesrion in the pack uses the memory table from the latest M2F BIOS, 1802.

In summary;

- Replaced memory table with M2F mem table
- Replaced CPU table with M2F CPU table

You will probably notice various other changes when experimenting - this is all down to the above mentioned changes. Naturally, feedback is essential.

[truehighroller]

Has any one else tried these?



Edit:

Never mind I see now.

[Ket]

I went ahead and flashed a P5Q Pro version, seemed to be alright but didn't have time for further testing as I haven't finished finding the "right" BIOS for my hardware.

[Lil'ManComputer]

Dude I cant flash not the 1501m v1 for P5Q neighter the 1501m one. The Asus update tool warns, that the rom type is not compatible with the EEPROM. WTF?

[newls1]

OK, please someone understand me here: Please dont make me read 60 pages worth of information goodness to find my answer, im trying to get away the "LAZY" way, if ya'll let me! I have a P5Q-PRO on the way, and "KET" Bioses came recommended to me. 2x2GB G.Skill PC8500 ram, Q6700cpu, which BIOS is recommended? looking to get atleast 410FSB and good mem ocing.... Thanks

[echtorg]

morning ket

sorry for my bad english

whatt the best bios for the pro with high fsb (over 530 mhz) and 4x1gb cellshock dims?

pleas answer
