just try 445fsb and 1066 then, set all gtl's to auto... once you get off the 1:1 divider it's fat easier to stabilise... there are tons more settings, full template here : http://users.telenet.be/OAP/P5QDlx/P5Q%20Dlx.rtf

[TiesTorN]

Hmm.. I discovered IBT(intelburntest) for quick examination and after trying 2 hours I think I found the stable settings (as it says that my system is fully stable after 5 tests - standart and high) but I'm not %100 sure 'cuz I didn't try it with prime.

the settings I changed are;

FSB Termination: 1.36
NB : 1.32
NB GTL : 0.665

btw rest of the settings in that .doc file are useless information for this situation. I wrote down the important ones.

owkay if that's your opinion, carry on

[TiesTorN]

what information can you actually need besides I already gave ?!?

will there be a difference when u know if my "virtualization" is on or off, or my LLC is on or my C1E state is enabled etc. what are u trying to prove? I didn't start to learn overclocking yesterday !? pff what a waste of time...

I was happy with my gigabyte board but had to change it when it fried. I'm only looking for some voltage advices.

now, anyone can make any better suggestions pls ? I hate this mobo...

[Leeghoofd]

Just fill in the template man ! you say your CPU is small FFT stable, but fails under blend. Where does it fail in blend ? also ya ram (sub)timings and co can be responsible for this instabitility, it's not solely voltages or GTL settings...Also note that higher voltages are necessarily better This should a dead easy mobo to setup normally (it just likes many auto settings)

[TiesTorN]

also ya ram (sub)timings and co can be responsible for this instabitility, it's not solely voltages or GTL settings...

Yeah I wrote them too if u didn't notice in my first paragraph, look again carefully as u can see (if u look again) I wrote 5-5-5-15 and all the other "co" settings are @ auto. (I don't need to set them manually since I don't want to oc my ram)

Now it seems like my system became stable with fsb termination 1.36 and NB 1.30, so all I needed all this time is the FSB termination I think, what is the deal with his setting anyway? what is safe limit of this value?

And my ram's can't go beyond 1066mhz 'cuz they're 1066 originally so I set my fsb @ 444fsb and that did the trick.

[Leeghoofd]

Set TRFC to 55, disable Static Read control. Reboot, test it, then try to adjust the PL's manually to get that little bit better performance... pretty high FSB termination voltage you need to run but each CPU/mobo/ram is different... Intel's safe setting is lower than what we most run here , so I wouldn't really bother at 1.36...

And I do think ya rams can go beyond 1066Mhz :p just try NB at 1.28 and FSB term at 1.34 and try to lower gradually...

[TiesTorN]

and what do u think about he NB GTL voltage? I'm currenty using @ 0.665 but... any advice?

[Leeghoofd]

Try to set it at auto, same for CPU GTL's..; test again... (they are not real voltages anway)

These GTL's are directly linked to FSB Term voltage... eg I could run 450FSB with only 1.26FSB term voltage, 1.26 on the NB and PL9 (ram at 1081Mhz) you haev to take ya time for it, once you got i will be rewarding... but each mobo/CPU and RAM combo are different... there's no golden rule or golden setting...

[TiesTorN]

100% stable;

CPU Ratio: 9
FSB: 444
PCI-E Frequency : 100mhz
FSB Strap to North Bridge: Auto
DDR freq. : 1066mhz @ 5-5-5-15 & rest is auto
CPU Voltage: 1.2500
CPU GTL Voltage Reference (0/2): Auto
CPU GTL Voltage Reference (1/3): Auto
CPU PLL Voltage: 1.52
FSB Termination Voltage: 1.28
DRAM Voltage: 2.10
NB Voltage: 1.24
NB GTL Reference: 0.660
SBridge Voltage: 1.10
PCIE SATA Voltage: 1.50

Performance Level: 8

[Leeghoofd]

Told you soo Good job mate... now enjoy that rig

[TiesTorN]

thanx

maybe the termination volt can still go lower but I'm tired of testing benchmarking etc... will use it this way.

Hi Folks!

My ex-PK5-E did dye, due to a bad update Bios...

So i did get one MB P5Q PRO and a MB P5Q PRO TURBO

I did install the PRO for me, and the Turbo, for the Rig of my father ( his old Nforce 2 did dy also ).

At this moment im running my Q6600 G0 at 3400MHZ.....but man, i have many dificulties to get this stable....

Also messing with memorys, is very frustating

I have almost everthing in Auto except Vcore and Vram...

Any way:

Any big diference betheen this 2 mobo`s?

Sorry the bad english!

P.S. - Any Pencil Mod for any Vdrrop?

[Gen]

P.S. - Any Pencil Mod for any Vdrrop?

have you tried using load line calibration? also unless your using maximum volts LLC and pencil mod aren't really needed and have been proven to 'spike' voltages from full load much higher than without.

i have a P5K-e as well and LLC on that board caused voltage spikes from 100%-0%

[BababooeyHTJ]

What are you guys using for chipset drivers on Windows 7? The default drivers or the ones from the Asus website?

[aamsel]

Lo Moscow,

if your rams can't do 1200mhz forget 500FSB quad action daily on the P5Q series... Buy yourself a 9550 and you will have 4Ghz for sure... more is all luck: good CPU, High speed rams, Good mobo, PSU , Cooling etc....

Unless you are multitasking or ya apps support the extra cores, you will not feel much difference over ya OC'ed dual core...

Hi Leeghoofd!
I hope that you are well!!

I have a P5Q Deluxe, BIOS 2201 with an E8600 @ 4GHz (401 x 10) @ 1.208v CPUZ, 1.225v in BIOS on TRUE. I have not tried to overclock beyond this, but I will post all of my settings for your input in the next few days.

I am not a gamer, and not a huge multi-tasker, but I have noticed the following with my rig:

When I am burning a DVD and web-surfing at the same time, there are slight hesitations in going to websites that are not there when I am not burning a DVD. These are not huge and vary, but are definitely gone when not burning a DVD.

Do you think that these would totally disappear if I went to a Q9650/Q9550 instead of the E8600, or do you think that this is nothing to do with the CPU itself? I have gone to a X25-M boot drive to eliminate the drive being a factor, and the data being burned to DVD is on a different drive as well.

Thanks!

[Leeghoofd]

no mate usually it's the SB/HD which is trying to keep up the demand of data transfer... I've seen this too , especially when you go with high FSB, multitasking is far better on AMD and I5/7 rigs (some people will react on this for sure)... quad core to my knowing is absolutely not a solution...

[aamsel]

So, quad core WOULD be a solution, but on an i5/i7 then.
OK, I don't want to thread-crap, I will PM you.
Thanks!

[Leeghoofd]

nope it's a different architecture, far more efficient clock for clock... but far more expensive too

[trickstar]

are the two pci-e 2 x16 slots blue & black dedicated to graphics only or can i use pci-e x4 sata cards?

[Mordorr]

Hello....

I need (again) help from this amazing forum.....

here is the problem:

I mount a new rig to my father:

Corsair 400wts power suply
CPU: E5300
Asus PQ5 PRO TURBO
RAM: My old Mushkins 2G ( D9 Micron ) boot at 2.1V

I start with a OEM memory stick....put ram V at 2.10...reboot
Mount the Mushkin...adjust all seting at my taste......and i did install XP.

Tested Prime 95 hours.....no problems.....stock temps at 32º


The problems:

Sometimes it gives me information OC failure on the BOOT....
Im quiete shure all settings are OK.....nothing from another world....

Even so.......F1.......F10.......and strangly, without any changes in Bios it reboots normaly

Now.....the Weird stuff.

2 days ago, i unplug inadvertly the electricity....with the PC on.

When i did reconet the electricity......the PC refuses to boot!

One boot, a second one and then stays forever on....without any signal.....


Again......i remove the Mushkin...insert the OEM module...and this time, i enter BIOS... - Nice i said!

2.10V ram.......F10........unplug and insert again the Mush...

But this time....whatever i do......i can reboot with Mushkin....

1 module.......-2-3 bios rebot, batery off, A1, B1...one module.........NOTHING!

So....i using a OEM memory with only 500MB

Today my father did call me that the PC is again making strange reboots....

Of course im frustated....since its my father new PC not working


Maybe some problem with this Model MB?
Bios?
Some weird OC profile? ( Strangly, i couldn`t create one )

Help....

[Leeghoofd]

share the settings mate...

[Mordorr]

Hi!

I can`t!

At this moment i`m not at my parents house

Everthing is at default, except Vdram at 2.1V.

It did work everhtime for me....except now....

Even with my old PK5-E..........

wierd......2 modules don`t work anymore........

[MediumRare]

I see you guys setting your CPU voltage to 2.3 and up but when I try it, it won't let me go past 2.10. Am I forgetting something?


EDIT: Geeez...nevermind. I'm an idiot. It's 1.3v and up that you guys have been setting it at, no 2.3v. Looking at so many different numbers and I think I got the CPU and DRAM settings mixed up in my head. Sorry.

[Degwees]

Hi!

I apologize in advance if this has been discussed before in this thread(there are 239 pages to go through and I'm just too lazy). I run a Q6600 on a P5Q Deluxe. Just got the board lately and the different voltage settings and all those things that "might enhance overclocking" are pretty new to me. I was wondering if anyone else is running a similar setup and what settings/voltages did they use for going 4.2ghz and above. I know every system is different but I'm guessing it's not going to differ too much when using the same cpu and board.

Before upgrading I was using a P5Q SE/R board, which got me running 3dmarks at 4052mhz(1.50v cpu, vdrop improvement enabled, 1.3v cpu vtt, sb and nb voltages maxed) and spi on 4185mhz. All done on air cooling.
Considering I could do that without any real settings for quads and limited voltages I am expecting to go much higher with the Deluxe.

My current setup:

Q6600 G0 + Zalman 9700 + 120x38mm 5000rpm fan
Asus P5Q Deluxe
Transcend 2x2GB PC-8500 TX1066QLU-4GK
Gigabyte HD 4890 1GB GV-R489UD-1GD
