dear all,

i am having difficulties stabilizing my oc at 500fsb with team xtreem pc6400 3338. the ram is stable at 1200mhz @ 2.10v if i run memtest86+. my board and cpu are stable @ 500fsb with my two other ram set: cellshock and ocz flex. the only difference in setting for cellshock and ocz are the voltage set, ocz (1.90v) and cellshock (2.10v).

therefore i really need your folks help in trying to stabilize the setting with the team xtreem, it's a good ram, stable @ 1110 with 44410 timing and 2.30v.

help me folks. thanks

*if you need additional info let me know.

Tried to start with 5-5-5-15 and then slowly tighten them timings ?

@ Lee

Thanks bro will try it later. =)

[Padol_Inc]

@Lee

Still no go bro...

[Leeghoofd]

Tried with a low multi like 7 ( to exclude Vcore), I always run a Memtest ( test 5 and 7 few loops) to setup NB voltags and GTL before I test stability in windows (only when error free)

@Lee

Still no go bro...

Did you lower your GTLs with the higher vtt?

[Padol_Inc]

Did you lower your GTLs with the higher vtt?

Not yet bro.. will try it later.. thanks =)

Quick question - how do I boot from USB on my P5Q-E?

Does anyone know how I can setup a JBOD Configuration on this motherboard? I have two hard drives that I want to use as one. RAID0 is not an option since they are not identical drives. I can't figure out how to setup JBOD though.

Thanks.

i gave up hope to reach 4ghz on my Xeon X3210, Here's another proc to play with.. But i always got an error on Core#2 on OCCT mix test.. Here's my template.. I'm running Q9550 E0 btw. Hope you can help me guys,.. tia

Try Prime Small FFT first to rule out the CPU's stability, if that passes for afew hours go Blend to test ram NB stability...

Prolly still more VTT, and leave them GTL's alone, try them at auto first

^Thanks bro..

guys, which P5Q dlx mbios or asus bios version can you recommend for E8400 ocing? Which in your opinion are the best of the best?

[Leeghoofd]

0803 was pretty good for me

[gugle]

I think the problem has bios of my P5Q-E, and does not post more, if someone would know how to recover?

[Dr.Paneas]

RTFM

swap the two bios chips

[gugle]

Hello, I saw a post to replace your bios from a plate in place to rewrite the bios to default, but I think more

I have a P5Q-E with defect and a normal working P5Q-Deluxe,
can save the Bios of the P5Q-E, using the Deluxe?

What is the procedure?

thanks

Lee ... what BIOS are you using? I had flashed to 2005 from 1406 and I'm having some application issues. Although nothing else seems to be an issue, all Video Encoding applications are crashing now. The only significant change was the upgraded BIOS.

Before I downgrade to 1406 again, just wanted to know what the general consensus is on current stable BIOS.

Thanks.

I'm running 2001m (ket's modded bios) and it's working out pretty well. With 4x2gb sticks and a quad I was getting odd freezeing at even stock settings on every other bios. I also found it easier to stablize than 1406, personally.

You can't really trust that every value will be the same between different bios revisions.

[LUCI5R]

You're 100% correct about that.
I'm personally a little hesitant on using modified BIOS ... so I'll wait till I get a couple more opinions first. But thanks mate ...

Quite a few people flashed that modded bios version and seemed to have good luck. Either way I would give the 2001 offical a shot. I personally have had better luck with stability with Ket's modded bios' on this board. Don't know why. Worse comes to worse the Deluxe has 2 socketed bios chips and AFUDOS i(biosfilename) /PBNC /N will wipe the entire bios.

[RejZoR]

I've used modified BIOS with no noticeable difference. So i flashed it back to original one.
