450fsb 1:1 can't get lower than PL 10 at least with this settings, other than that no boot. 450fsb 5:6 is easy with PL 7.

wtf...that's just messed up.

I knew before ordering this that PL would be worse than with my DFI...but that's just terrible...

I guess i'll see how things are for 2:3 once i get mine, as that's likely what i'll be running.

[Leeghoofd]

1:1 is stuck to pretty high PL, it's better to use other dividers...

I did the testing a few pages before will sum it up again :

400FSB and Ram at 800Mhz -- Bios sets 13 perf level at AUTO setting -- Lowest manual is 9 (8 doesn't post)

400FSB and Ram at 1003Mhz -- Bios sets 10 perf level at AUTO setting -- Lowest manual is 7

400FSB and Ram at 1066Mhz -- Bios sets 9 perf level at AUTO setting -- Lowest manual is 7

450FSB and Ram at 900Mhz -- Bios sets 13 perf level at AUTO setting -- Lowest manual is 10

450FSB and Ram at 1081Mhz -- Bios sets 10 perf level at AUTO setting -- Lowest manual is 8

500FSB and Ram at 1200Mhz -- Bios sets 13 Perf level at AUTO setting -- Lowest manual is 10

600FSB and ram at 1200Mhz -- Bios sets 13 perf level at AUTO setting -- Lowest manual is 11 (though RAM not stable at all)

At the moment this board needs some higher PL than P35 and X38/48 to remain stable... Don't forget the board is only a few weeks old and future biosses will hopefully bring some more performance and ram compatability...

I went ahead and ran prime blend over night while I was at work using the following settings:

CPU Ratio: 7.0
FSB: 425MHz
PCI-e: 101
FSB Strap: 400
DRAM Freq: DDR2-1133MHz
5-5-5-15-3-40 (The rest AUTO)

DRAM Static Rd: Enabled
DRAM Rd Training: AUTO
Mem OC Charger: Auto
Ai Clock Twister: Moderate
Performance Lvl: 7
Pull-ins: Disabled

CPU Voltage: Auto
CPU GTL (0/2): 0.63
CPU GTL (1/3): 0.63
CPU PLL: 1.50V
FSB Term: 1.16V
DRAM Voltage: 2.14V
NB Voltage: 1.26V
NB GTL: 0.67
SB Voltage: 1.10V
PCIE SATA: 1.50V

Load Line: Auto
NB/CPU Clock Skew: Auto

and it passed 12 hours and was still running until I turned it off. I am terribly confused because in order for me to do the same with my Maximus Formula it took an nbv of 1.58-1.61V while here it only takes 1.26V? Huh.... I understand that the NB is now 65nm and that they also added better power regulation to the P45 but I wasn't expecting this much of a gain. Huh, again...

So I went ahead and shut the computer down for about 30 minutes and then rebooted, entered BIOS, exited BIOS and there was no issues whatsoever. It seems to be stable but as soon as I try 1.30V it fails to boot as well as at 1.34V. Huh again, I guess.....All is well

I've reached the same conclusion, 1:1 only brings trouble, best to stick to other divider when possible.

500FSB and Ram at 1200Mhz -- Bios sets 13 Perf level at AUTO setting -- Lowest manual is 10

In my setup I can use PL 8 with those settings and 1.16vNB as I said before. Here's my settings:

[STaRGaZeR]

Sinner can you run Everest cache and memory benchmark at those settings please?

[]siNNer[]

Sure

[STaRGaZeR]

Thanks That'll probably be my exact configuration when the board and the OCZ arrive here. Damn you have pretty good BW over there

[crishan]

Could those of you who have already received their P5Q Deluxe please post their revision (and possibly, if their board was made in China or in Taiwan)?
So far, I'm only aware of 1.03G, maybe there are others?

It would be great if this information could also be put into the first post, to makle this thread a proper resource of information...

anyone here with the P5Q3-Deluxe? I'm looking at one, and can pick it up today with some cheap, but nice Patriot DDR31333 7/7/718.

Can't boot with those settings, don't know if is CPU wall or something else

[Chri$ch]

try lower Performance Level (12 or 13) and play with CPU / NB GTLs, i think it is different at each system

[Pyr0]

anyone found any good, easily accessible voltage read points for these boards?

[Leeghoofd]

Sure

I can boot too but it's nowhere stable here , can't even complete a SuperPI 32Mb at PL 8... Small FFT's no issue, but I need PL 10 to be fully blend stable...

[]siNNer[]

See post#449, 8.5x500 is 1H blend stable.

My day setting is 8.5x500, while 9x500 over night.

Room temp is 15ºC hotter during day

excellent, thanks

Maybe a small note, not directly related to the Deluxe version, but anyway.
I decided to install the P5Q-Pro (wasn't quite sure to try it or not), just to see how it would perform, specially for my X3350.

It looks like some options are left out in the bios, compared to the Deluxe version.

The following options are NOT available in the bios of the P5Q-Pro (important regarding overclocking, IMO) :

CPU GTL Reference (0/2)
CPU GTL Reference (1/3)

NB GTL Reference

NB Clock Skew
CPU Clock Skew

Kinda disappointed not having these options in the BIOS.

The good part is that I installed my X3350, which couldn't run at 450*8 on the DFI DK-P35 / 2x DFI UT-P35 (not below 1.61 NBCore on one of them anyway), with only 1.24V NBCore on the P5Q-Pro.

I guess some of those were also missing from initial bios on the Deluxe. Is the bios 0702 available for the P5Q Pro?

Mine is the 1.03 version made in Taiwan.

The same here. I can't believe the performance diffence between the x48 and P45. The P45 is what the x48 should have been.

[hellcamino]

453 is all I can get out of my X3360 even with multi dropped to 6 , 450 is prime stable and anything over 453 won't post . How is everyone else doing with xeons in this board ?
