I was about to sell my P5Q Deluxe, because it wouldn't work with the new patriot 1200mhz 5-5-5-12 ram I bought a while ago, wouldn't even post/boot/turn on with these new sticks in it. I really like this board, but it seems ASUS aren't exactly supportive of there products.

I updated to the latest ASUS BIOS (1702) first. I've been hearing a lot of bad reports about it, but I thought maybe it'd work out good for me. Err wrong! Was a total mess, wouldn't even boot with relaxed overclocked settings.

I did know about your BIOS's, but like most sane people BIOS's are pretty scary things you _DONT_ want to completely break! Though I knew I could swap the BIOS chips on the board, if I completely screwed it up.

So late last night I went ahead and flashed it with said BIOS, reset bios and removed battery for a minute, and bingo the damn thing thing booted up, So I went to the BIOS set memory to 1200mhz (4-4-4-12 (didn't actually look at the timings, at first I was just stocked the thing didn't crash and burn.)) and it booted up stable as a rock. All I can say it OMFG! I am in love with this board once again, and have taken my Ebay listing down now! Which was going so well too :P

I'd like to donate some money to thank you for your work, if you have a paypal.. This post was just going to be a small thank you haha!

By the way I just used an older version of the Asus windows BIOS updater (6.07.01) to reverse the 1702 mess, went straight from 1702 to your BIOS all within windows 7. What can I say.. :P

Also stumbled upon this where ASUS keeps all versions of there Utilities & Tools was helpful for m,e so probably would be helpful for someone else as well!
Glad the BIOS is working for you I don't have a paypal account, so "thankyou" donations aren't possible. The reason I don't have a payapl account in itself is a rather long story if told in full In a nutshell paypal tried screwing me some time ago, since then I will not use them.

I would like to know if anyone has successfully flashed any of these BIOSes to that model of mobo. From what i've seen, the only differences between the vanilla p5q and the se/r are reduced power usage and different slots. BIOS settings seem the same.

The reason I ask is because this e7200 can boot into windows stable at 3.8 with 475FSB. I would like to make it an even 4ghz at 500fsb and these BIOSes might be what i need to achieve that...
I have not modded any BIOS code for any P5Q board except whats listed. I wouldn't try using any of these BIOSes on a board they aren't meant for.
