Test setup and Benchmark

System Configuration 1
1. CPU: Intel Q6600 G0 Stepping.
2. Motherboard: Asus P5K Deluxe WIFI
3. RAM: Crucial Ballistix DDR800 x 4
4. Display Card: Sapphire 3870 Crossfire (2 units)
5. HDD: Western Raptor 8MB version x 2 (RAID 0)
6. HDD: Western Digital 250GB SATA HDD
7. Optical Drive: Panasonic SATA DVD RW
8. Monitor: Samsung 931BW
9. Mouse: Logitech G5
10. Casing: Lian Li V1200B-Plus II
11. Keyboard: A4Tech Gaming Keyboard G700
12. CPU Cooler: Xigmatek HDT-1283
13. PSU: Enermax Infinity 650W

Below is the VID that I taken from CoreTemp. Many people believe the Lower VID value represent the CPU is gem or not. I am using a not gem CPU for this benchmark, I guess my result would represent a lot people's result.

the very 1st day i got this P5K deluxe wifi .. the bios didnt detect 1 of my HDD
but i left the assembling of the rig to complete till the next day coz too late at nite liauu .. the next day it worked .. dunno why oso rclxub.gif

then few days ago i removed mobo from casing to fit in new cooler .. unplugged all cables etc etc
then when fixed everything back .. it didnt detect one of my HDD and 1 sata optical .. plug and unplugged at least 5-6 times but it couldnt detect

so i tot might as well have a flash at the BIOS .. from 0603 to 0809 versions .. then all the trouble starts coming
it could detect my 2 troubled sata devices .. but not all the time
then it wont boot up from cd/dvd/thumbdrive
cannot OC without doing manual F8 select to boot
optical go crazee on off by itself when using windows but no cd/dvd inside

now ok liauu ... duno why suddenly ok .. but still buggy laa .. cry.gif
can boot up and OC as usual but temp readings very different from previous BIOS ... the settings in BIOS oso different .. maybe just a matter of taste

now still ok ... tomoro dunno laa .. i already written to ASUS and ask them whats the prob .. they have not replied yet
i spoke to my fren in ASUS .. i might get it RMA-ed then maybe go get the P5E laaa .. drool.gif

edit .. the best BIOs version to stick with is still the 0603 version laa IMO .. stable and logical OC functions .. hehehehe

2)multiplier=10
3)vcore=1.424
4)ram mix1Gbx2(kingston 667 n ocz gold 800)=320mhzx2
5)vdimm=2.0

so,how to increase d oc?

I came agross from other forum that people saying the temperature reporting is not correct for bios 0603. Either causing Core Temp or PC Probe reading the wrong tempearture. Not sure you notice this or not. I will try it when I am free.

load oso already 70C .. wanna UP you OC sommo ah ??
there is only ONE WAY to go higher .. that is increase vcore to supplement your FSB or multiplier increase .. and oso more vdimm laa for your DIMMs .. hehehe
that being said .. everything is increase VOLTAGE .. more voltage = more heat ... can u handle it ??? hehehehe

using 0603 bios .. temp reading of CPU (using everest) is almost always 4-5C higher than the individual cores (everest/coretemp)
using 0809 bios .. temp reading of CPU (everest) is about 12C lower than the highest individual cores (everest/coretemp)

which one is the actual correct one ?? hehehehe .. unless u got laser temp measurement device .. there is no way to ascertain the real temp
i dont use the ASUS software provided .. ie. probe and intelligent suite tongue.gif

one more thing about ASUS EZ FLASH BIOS .. it will not let u flash your BIOS back to an older version than the current one .. so THINK CAREFULLY b4 u flash .. hahaha
the UPDATE TOOL oso doesnt work in order to flash older bios

however there is one thing that might work but i couldnt get it to work as it should .. any ideas or tips guys ???
i booted from 3.5inch (borrowed) MS-DOS and oso couldnt get it to work ...

Hi.User of Asus P5K Pro here. Been using both E8400 and E2160 on this mobo. Performance is quite good, with a good range of voltage control.

Here's the performance of my mobo running an E8400 :

CPU : Core2Duo E8400
CPU clockspeed : 4.250 MHz (500 x 8.5)
Motherboard : Asus P5K Pro (Bios rev 0806)
RAM model : Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC6400
RAM capacity : 1GB X 2
RAM speed : 500 MHz, CL4-5-4-12
RAM mode : Dual channel
Voltage detail :
VCore : 1.375V
VDimm : 2.2V
PLL Voltage : 1.6V
FSB Termination Voltage : 1.32V
NB Voltage : 1.47V
PSU : FSP Epsilon 600W, and currently using Mushkin Enhanced 580W modular

Idle temp : 42C
Full load test (running Orthos) : 57C
Temp reading taken using CoreTemp, bu dont think that the temp reading is correct coz touched my heatsink, and its not even warm. Proc cooled using Silent Knight II

have yet to play e2160 on this mobo.no time ler with exam coming.
will post more result later.

you see, the hsf needs time to conduct the heat for it to start to feel warm, maybe after a prime stress test for about 10~15 mins would let the hsf warm up enough.

but then again, e8xxx series DTS is bugged, some read it below temps and some read it above what it is actually is, and some are just dead on the spot accurate, so which do you think is yours?

i think mine read above,coz i touched the heatsink only after the 2nd hour of stress. :-)

haven't tested using RealTemp tho..some penryn user suggested using RealTemp as the reading is the most accurate for the time being..

e4xxx series doh.gif

most of them are bad, bad ocers :S

anyway, you can try lowering the multi to 9x and try push again.

alternatively, you can do a bsel pad mod, which does in some cases have a better ocing headroom, but you need to check if your cpu will boot or/is stable at 266fsb x10 or 333fsbx10, depending on whichever is more stable

@tnhafiz : before u think of changing proc, why dont u try to look for a matching pair of RAM?it will help u a lot in OC'ing,trust me. your mobo can reach fsb of 450MHz+ easily, i've tried and tested it before this.
keep in mind that at the same clockspeed : (higher fsb X lower multiplier) is always better than (lower fsb X higher multiplier)

its stated in the SC link, and as well as his post. what more clearer? :S



@graphicp
nice oc biggrin.gif, cannot get it stable at 3.7?
you're using a xigmatek HDT or TRUE 120?
and room air-cond or not during the tests?

and room air-cond or not during the tests?

Im very care about temp. Thats why all my test consists of two different torture test software. Always use TAT and Prime95. I like to take my temp reading when cpu is fully stresses by prime95. 12hour prime, highest cpu temp is 63. The average is 57 using Core temp and CPUID. Load vcore 1.352v.

My room very hot because facing the sunshine and no aircond. And the time i stress my system was start at 11.30pm. Good time to stress system at this condition. hot day, hot room, hot cpu........I believe when stressing my system at full night my temp reading will decrease around 3'C, because that time temp around u usually drop significantly.

For information, running my quad@3.7 , idle 47'C, fully load at 70'C. Quite hot due to 1.52v CPU-Z reading.

Bro, i cant say stable at 3.7 becoz for me stable means stable under stress test more than 8 hours. But me fail after 4hours ++ 1 of my core was fail. sad.gif , Im using TRUE 120, no aircond at my room, very hot room becoz facing sunshine.

Ain't Rampage an X48 mobo and Maximus an X38. So going from X48 to the original X38 would mean going back rite? So what's wrong with the current or latest BIOS? hmm.gif

x48 is just a higher bin x38
other than that the rampage formula board and maximus is the same
so using the right afudos u can flash the rampage bios into the maximus
to get full mem overclocking especially the performance levels
and also better gtl range.

u need engineering afudos if u want to flash back.

So, my previous question ain't silly. It's just you downgraded back meaning the latest BIOS got prob. icon_rolleyes.gif

I know flashing BIOS is to solve previous problem but usually people will flash to latest, so that's why I'm asking why downgrading back? Is there a problem. So it's nothing silly. whistling.gif

again ure silly
its flashing a different mobo bios..
if shit happens dont u want to go back to the bios meant for ure mobo..

thats y u need the engineering afudos.

its not downgrading..its A DIFFERENT BIOS ALL TOGETHER..

do a google and find out difference with rampage formula and maximus formula
also its possible to flash a asus p5e into a maximus or a rampage formula but u might lose out some features for the p5e.

doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif

Told you it's almost the same thing. Different BIOS coz different chipset. I know Maximus and I know Rampage. Don't come and say silly coz you don't know everything too. The difference only you've experience. God damn it, what an arrogant person you are. Enough said bout that.

My question was what's wrong with the current BIOS? Could you just state you have some difficulties and problems rather than saying other people silly. Or you're trying to brag that yourself as an enthusiast so you can call noob to others doh.gif Everyone knows if you go from current to latest coz you have some problems with the current. But when flashing Maximus to Rampage or the othe way round, not many people have done that. So the consequences and results should be shared.

Sorry if this post offence you or any other people. I'm just saying that I asked a simple question and the answer from an experience person is 'Silly'. I'm really frustrated with the attitude that is being given just because you have the luck and experience to experiment with many hardwares. Have some manners please, this is a place to share and not to brag yourself. The information shared will benefit more people than just me. 'nuff said here. Pardon me Admin and Mods. notworthy.gif

rampage seems to give quite a good range of gtl, may be that what i need for my e2220 to break ghz with lower voltage....the bloody chip default pll voltage is so high

hrm.... may be i should try rampage bios too.....may be i'll consult cstkl1 later when i got time.... so many work pile up late, need to find more time to play with my maximus.

look at iriz posting in the quads..
he just flashed to rampage..
now 3.2ghz at 0.01v+ on stock voltages..
heck his nb voltage and fsb voltage also ridiculously low with the rampage bios.

best of all it was done with his mem at maximum bandwidth at trd 7.. which is easier to set on rampage bios.

so its definitely the way to go..

Aye, no further comments on that. 'Nuff war already + still have respect for seniors. nod.gif

By the way, sorry if again a silly question, comparing Maximus and P5E WS Pro, which one would be better for OCing with E8xxx Penryns. Coz Maximus would be preferable as it is meant for gamers and serious OCers. I'm not too sure bout WS Pro, but I'm attracted to the additional features though. notworthy.gif

ok, some noob question, for CPU OC, we can test via prime95 in-place fft to check stability whether its enough voltage, for memory, we can test through blend test and memtest.
Here is my noob question, how do we detect if there are insufficient NB volt, FSB Vtt or PLL ? we should check it using what software, so far my OC have been tested with OCCT, Orthos and Prime, all passes at least 7 hours mark. The settings are FSB: 458 DDR2 1100 with settings on the screenies,
Attached Image
but when i tried higher FSB for higher memory clock speed, such as 1130, 1140 i can pass 32M SuperPI, but failed orthos blend with 4096mb mem in uses in just few minutes and sometimes it can hold till 1 hour... i have tried bumping the NB volt but it doesnt help, so wat NB voltage settings its suitable for me to run my p35(Blitz Formula SE) for FSB above 475? been following anandtech's performance level's guide, so far i did with performance level 7. or my case is just insufficient vdimm to run 1130 or 1140... dun dare to raise the ram voltage over 2.2v.

u really increased the latencies
and then lowered the trd

so no diff on ure trd... heck might be even worse ..
the reason is the following

and sishh this is the default
and u went much more looser than this
write to precharge delay = 12
write to read delay = 9
and the one thats really bad..
all to precharge delay default is 3.. by putting 6.. ure latencies and bandwidth just took a hit..
so ure 1100 mhz just for show dude..

dont even want to ask whats ure

bank delays are.. surely atrocious.

write to read
read to read and write to write.
for asus mobo is denoted with (D)
default should be 5 for write to read
and the others is 6...
but u can easily make all of them either 5-5-5- or 5-4-5 ( 4 for read to read bank delay)
run a everest bandwidth test.. and watch ure latencies on mem and L2.

the asus mem settings are already tight..

u just need to change the trd..
all to precharge delay just leave it

and the bank delays advice to leave it at stock..

change the ai skew to strong.. and disable any from of t2 dispatch, static read etc..
it will intefere with the ai skew.

and hmm the reasoning for ure failure.. in overclocking
cause ure just testing very little mem..
try memtest.. with 2096 mb and heck even play avi file.. willing to bet it will hang.

@QiW,

I managed to revert back my motherboard BIOS with a tool called AMIFLASH.COM and it must be executed in Dos environment. Please PM me your email address and I can email that program to you.

@All,

I reflashed my P5K Deluxe to 0404. Compare to 0809. 0404 is more OCable. I managed to push my memory higher compare to 0809.

I did use MemTest86+ to test the bandwidth for Transaction Booster and Boost Level or Relax Level. I will update the result in the first post.

hey bro, just read ur guide, but i realise i cant change the all to precharge delay, i cannot change it in memset, yet cannot find it in my bios... WTH... Blitz formula dont have this feature? and also there are no AI skew settings also... i'll try lower the settings as i leave them all at auto at the moment... will get back here once i change the settings... now trying to lower all those timings... thanks for the info bro... and also the anadtech's guide are good too... thumbup.gif
here is the screenies of my bios, no settings for the ai skew and all to precharge delay
Attached Image
latest updates, tried memtest... all to precharge delays still 6, it might be the ram default, cannot find a way to change it... but changed some of them...

hmm depends bro on his strap..
but he is right licyetan.. disable it and set ure relax level to 0 or 1.. ( this is basically the control for trd's)

hmm wait looking at ure mobo trying to get the equivalent..
till today i dunno why asus cannot follow common set acronyms

set it at default.. its already tight.. dont change any of it..
theres no need.

AT sometimes nuts.. they dont mind higer bandwidth but take a hit on latencies..


Added on April 2, 2008, 1:44 amuser posted image

if i was u i'd use maximus timings.. but they should be the same..but ure mobo seems limited on ram options

the only performance difference u can get from this is the change of the

Write to write Delay(d)
read to read delay(d)
to 5..
anything lower it only good for benchies..

heck i use almost the same settings with my dfi.. since its optimal
except pissed off at DFI for taking off the tREF.. since its abysmal on the dfi

end of the day.. if do bandwidth test.. the dfi cannot beat the maximus..
mainly because of the tref.

it's a issue indeed.. u cant oc bcoz if oc fail or not stable, need to reset the bios and the expressgate is automatically enable. what for buying this good oc board just to run at stock ? tongue.gif

btw yeah it's me who called them. i wanna find solution for it. either return the x2 for sthing else or return the p5e3 premium back and change with other ddr3 board? hope they can do sthing for me.. thumbup.gif

eh the expressgate..
u can erase it..

its just a linux system.


did it last time for the m2n32esli.

dude explain this
"u cant oc bcoz if oc fail or not stable, need to reset the bios "

well if unstable of course u need to reset..

and it cant be.. this board now holds most of the world records.

no.. i mean of coz when we tweak the bios, there comes a time that the setting is not stable, where ur pc wont boot, then u have to reset the cmos.

so the expressgate will automatically enable, and i have to find another card, plug it in, just to disable the expressgate.

maybe it can be delete, but i dun want to delete any stuffs that contribute to the high price of this board..

I know the P5N-D sucks blush.gif

Wondering how would I know if I need to raise voltage for NB and stuff, and what voltages to set them to. Currently only raised vcore and a vdimm for the rams (2x 2gb now at 1.9v, 5-5-5-18 for stability).

E8400 proc, at 3915 mhz (435x9) at 1.32volts-bios (1.25-1.26v on load) but when I leave OCCT on mix running for a few hours I come back and my pc is frozen. Same with prime95 on blend, though that froze in 15 minutes. Program didn't terminate or prompt error, but the screen is frozen. Only can push reset button doh.gif

However, the pc doesnt freeze when I do prime95 small fft for over an hour. And orthos doesnt freeze or return any errors too (so far 1 hour on priority 8).


What should I do? Memtest 1000%?
Raise vcore?
Anything else?

it could be anything for freeze..

could be vcore vs nb vs vtt vs mem voltages..

and it could even be cause one of them is overvolted etc...

recently a forumer came and asked me about my striker formula 2 clocks.. same i spent nearly a month with my e8400 on p35's and x38's so didnt take me long for the 780 board..
theres no clear define way or shortcuts... know thy board and then know that proc...

Hmmm. Okay. I increased my vcore and it seems much better now, no freezing or failing and stress tests so far. I'm more cuirous about the NB voltages though. What would be a reason to raise that? Also, when peopel say for example "stable at 4.5ghz 1.5v" does that mean it's 1.5v under load, or in bios setting, or idle? Or do good mobos have 0 vdroop?

Very few people use the P5N-D haha. Hard to find overclocking discussions. rclxub.gif

If you overclock manually, you have to set the AI tuning to manual, and hence the power saving features will be disabled if i'm not wrong.

Anyway, finally got my proc stable I think.
Had to set NB and HT voltage to 1.3 (Through random trial and error)
Under load, cpu-z shows my voltage under load as 1.264v 7/8 of the time, 1/8 of the time as 1.280v . When idle it also shows 1.280v
My rams suck. Had to use 5-5-5-18 timings in order to get it stable at 880mhz, and that is with 2.01 volts in bios (shows as 2.05 in AI-suite)

Better find other solution for your monitoring software instead of using the software given by manufactured. Its more accurate compare to your current monitoring software. Try this coretemp or cpuid. Download here.

As you can see above, my oc is stable @ 12hours of orthos, but my system will crash when playing a certain video files (not all), sometimes 20 minutes while playing, and sometimes just a few second and then crash. Hell I've played Crysis 3 hours straight and everthing was fine. The prob disappear when i switch to stock setting tho. rclxub.gif I'm seeing stars now.. Is this mean that my oc isn't stable enough?

try it out with small FFT and check if it is stable,

ps:
if you are on air cooling your voltage is a bit high to run it 24/7

very quite lately, anything new ??

btw guys need some opinion here, regarding the CPU PLL default voltage, will it differ from CPU to CPU ???

i found mine e2220 cpu PLL very weird, stock setting already 1.6v in hardware reading even i set the bios as 1.5v ?? Bios 1002.
In previos bios 904 (if not mistaken), shows about 1.56 only

i'll goin to try other version and see how it goes, hope to get more info on this.

And what is the bios version that you recommend for this? Any danger when flashing bios? Thanks..

The bios 0219 that cames with Rampage Formula is very stable. I experience 0 vdroop when LOAD with processes (OCCT, or Orthos) with LoadLine Calibration turn on.

If you want, you can have try. Let me know the result.

Overall, P35 chipset setting is about the same with this board. With this board, I can achieve higher FSB oc, and RAM with much higher bandwidth. It is great board.

For instance, I can boot into windows with same voltage (3.8ghz) than 3.6ghz in P5K Deluxe (can orthos 8 hours). However, If I want to orthos, that require much more voltage.

For RAM oc, I can achieve 1150 (4x1gb ballistix) in Rampage than 1070 in P5Deluxe in 2.2v.

I found out from other website (forget where it is), saying VID high, can achieve FSB higher. where as VID low, will make the cpu require less voltage to achieve higher Ghz. Not sure this is true or not.

i dont think so but my vid is high,i still can hit low vcore with high clock speed and can go 4ghz too with same proc.
but i can make sure that mobo is playing important role.

i'm using P5KR rite now.. haven't update my sig quite some time already.. well, my mobo just got back from rma.. LoL.. apparently the "press reset to reset bios" didn't work after countless times of resets...
the last time i did was bout 530 FSB using D9GKX rams on my e6300 rig..
as long as i could remember these were the settings used:

AI Overclocking: Manual
CPU ratio Control: Manual
FSB frequency: 530
PCI-E Frequency: 100
DRAM Frequency: 1060Mhz
DRAM Command Rate: 2T
DRAM Timing Control: Manual
CAS# Latency: 5
RAS# to CAS# Delay: 5
RAS# Precharge: 5
RAS# Activate to Precharge: 18
DRAM Static Read Control: Disabled

CPU Spread Spectrum: Disabled
PCI-E Spread Spectrum: Disabled

CPU Voltage: 1.4750v
CPU Voltage Reference: Auto
CPU Voltage Damper: Enabled
CPU PLL Voltage: 1.6
DRAM Voltage: 2.25v
NorthBridge Voltage: 1.55v

is there a difference overclocking the PCI-E frequency?

Thanks for share with us. Hardly see bios setting posted by other people. I am working on mine and posted later.

You tried PCI-E frequency increased from 100 to 110 like most people do. Didn't do any benchmark. I heard overclocking this exceed certain number will makes SB crash. I also saw a lot people recommend overclock PCI-E frequency up to 115 for ATI card. Not sure nVidia card.

Just got Asus P5Q-Pro + Core2Duo E8400 + 4 gigs Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800 + Zotac 8800GT + WD 500G x2 RAID 0

so far very satisfied with the board. Able to overclock to 4 GHz (9x fsb 445) effortlessly , no change in vcore.

only thing is Temps high. Using Lian Li PC-07 + Gemini II (2 fans+ Artic Cool-MX2) idle temps 40 C but after orthos for 15 minutes temps max at 64 c. I think can overclock more but don't dare becoz of temps. Funny though, heatsink mildly warm only.

any how...3Dmark 2006 is 13200+

What are your experience with the Rampage 403 bios. For my higher OC with lower voltage compared to the P5E 702 bios. Also, it solves my game instability problem. Dirt will always hang and Prostreet cannot run at all. After changing the bios, no problem with either games.



MY specs:

P5E @ Rampage BIOS
Q6600 @ 3.6
Vcore 1.48

You mean the bad batch is my CPU or my Gemini II cooler.... unsure.gif .....I tightened the bolt for the cooler the best I can.....I am not sure if it may damage the CPU or MOBO if i twist any further. Thanks for ur suggestion though smile.gif

I just upgraded my P5K SE to P5Q Deluxe. Gonna try the OC soon. Current temperature while running EPU-6 engine(will add overclocked temp later):

Attached Image

With air conditioning:

[attachmentid=515437]

Edit: After overclocking, went Vista after having some issues with sound running at default PCI speed on XP. Comp doesn't start when it's more than 366mhz and I get overclocking failed after powering it off and on. I think it's my power supply. Gonna have to get a better power supply and water cooling to test it's true potential. sad.gif 366mhz bus went 68C and I got scared. However, the vcore didn't drop when I have the EPU-6 on. Stressed it at 333mhz and this is the result for Asus Silent Knight II and this board after an hour with air conditioning on.

Actually what is the difference between the P5Q series

P5Q
P5Q-E
P5Q-Pro
P5Q-Premium
P5Q-Deluxe

Maxiumus 2


From what i see it's just the difference between the phase of the power supply? And the number of lan ports/sata ?

The maximus looks different though

Judging from the mobo, other than the maximus, they are quite similar

About VDroop, it depends on the Voltage that you set. For my case (Rampage formula), when I set the voltage to 1.5125, I didn't see any vdroop at all. However, when I set voltage to 1.5000, it will has 0.01 to 0.005 vdroop.

About VDroop, it depends on the Voltage that you set. For my case (Rampage formula), when I set the voltage to 1.5125, I didn't see any vdroop at all. However, when I set voltage to 1.5000, it will has 0.01 to 0.005 vdroop.

loadline calibration doesnt work that way
use a vmm to check

on load.. voltage increase instead of decrease

Mind to let us know what is VMM you mean?

I am using CPU-Z or Asus Probe II to check the voltage.

Different phases for each series. And number of SATA and LAN ports too. The P5Q Premium is almost the same as Deluxe but it has 4 Gigabit LAN ports instead of 2 on the Deluxe (Challenging Giga's board I suppose). The Premium also has a slight improve on the SATA/IDE layout compared to Deluxe. Next, ROG board does not have Express Gate feature IINM.

Thx i was getting BSOD pushing it around those numbers. Anyway any help on NB and CPU gtel ref range? Not sure how to set it.


Added on July 7, 2008, 8:26 pmOh yeah is this possible with air cooling ?

not going to make everything easy for u..
kekek sorry nothing personal

but i spoon fed a few ppl in lyn .. and they turn out to be idiots..
so stopped doing that already

yes u can do this with air..

the clocks above was done with gigabyte 3d mercury galaxy case which has a inbuilt watercooling kit
i would say the performance is about the same as IFX 14 air cooler but not as noisy

just use the nb and fsb voltage

the pll voltage.. hmm thats a debate.. actually 1.5v stable..
but once like in a blue moon .. my ram bandwidths like flutters
found that changing that stablize is somewhat..

also the vcore i increased it a bit around 0.03v...
reason cause of loadline...

again for my proc is stable at 1.28v.. but because of loadline.. i increase it for stability for idle.. since the temps were low already

have fun guys..
i still find the striker formula 2 a fantastic overclocking board even compared to my maximus 2 formula
this is a really good board..

Yeah i agree the only problem is the video corruption thingy. You didn't update to 1305 bios any reason? You enable loadline? I reading a lot of debate on whether loadline is good or harm the cpu?

raja.. anandtech fella.. first oppose of it..
and then guess what on all the other boards after that he was clocking with it...

sishh
no corruption problem at all..
actually never had it from the beginning..maybe cause every setting i entered manually??

some ppl said the video corruption issue is graphic card depend..

what gpu are u using
and have u tried other gpu bios??

in the past video corruption issue is only because of either of this 3 components being faulty

NB/MEM/GPU MEM

if its not NB and MEM
maybe ure GPU MEM timings are not suitable for the board..
try different gpu bios..

really hate this thread.. kekek.. cause its pure kopitiam and doesnt belong in the overclocking section..

Using 8800 gts in sli, gpu bios? are you reffering to the driver or the firmware itself? Nah i rather look at local overclockers result. XS forum is full of people who increase their voltage like mad.

gpu bios dude...
i severely suspect gpu bios..
I've already told those idiots in XS they dont need so high voltages for their 45nm dual core.. most of them didnt listen..

if u can flash ure cards to Asus 8800GTS..
u need to disable the EProm protection when using nvflash.. dont forget..

okay i really hate to ask this again but it skipped my mind on how to solve the issue.

I own Asus P5n e-sli and E6750

Last time i used to overclock it and the BSOD always seem to happen, but i manage to solve it and bring the cpu to 3.2ghz

But now i want to bring it to 3.8ghz just to try whether it can reach tht speed but the BSOD happened again. blink.gif

I know alot of things in the pc can cause this. So wht i did is, increase the vcore to 1.5 cos 1.4 didnt boot into Windows loading bar.

But once i got into desktop, my screen start tearing and BSOD.

So i revert back to default setting but the BSOD stil happening.

I am not familiar with nVidia chipset. However, with Intel chipset you got to use over 1.5 above for orthos stable (this depends on the Batch of the CPU, but mostly it needs 1.5v above). I manage to push until 3.84 using E6750 in Asus P5K Deluxe (P35).

Well now i have to either reformat the pc or do something abt the BSOD. But it just doesnt make sense cos

"what does Overclocking have to do with Hardsisk Failure ??

well it didnt fail, i plug it to my other pc and the HDD works fine.

So the question remains, Why BSOD ?

Yo posting here as well with some BIOS details hoping you guys can help improve my overclock.

multiplier: 9
FSB: 333
CPU voltage: 1.385
Other voltages: AUTO
FSB lock to NB: AUTO
RAM: DDR2-667
Timing: 5-5-5-15 (rest at Auto)
Transaction booster: Believe i disabled it or was it a relax 0
Spread spectrum: Disabled
The rest were set at Auto.

Processor: Q6600 G0 currently running at 3.0 ghz 333x9 (tested with 12 hours prime) using HyperTX cooler and 1.365 voltage
Motherboard: Asus P5KR with vdroop pencil mod
RAM: 2 x 1gb Team Xtreem RAM DDR2 1066 running at 667 mhz (for troubleshooting first) at 5-5-5-15 at Auto Voltage
PSU: Gigabyte 850 W Odin
GFX: 2x4850 Crossfire (non oced)

Right now 3.0ghz is fine. Temps are around 47C Idle but jumps up to 69C ish after about an hour of priming based on Speedfan. A bit concerned about temperature.

A note that before the pencil mod, I could not get my overclock higher than 2.8ghz as the voltage kept on fluctuating.

But if I try to run it at 3.2 ghz I'll get an error at Core 2 using Prime(that is 0,1,2,3). Tried increasing the voltage but still received the error within a few minutes of running even at 1.425 V

Have I really hit the limit of my processor or is the mobo to blame or my pencil mod? Please note that without the pencil mod I could not even get up to 3.0ghz.

Could be your power supply since you are running 2 GPUs. Hitting more than 65C for CPU is not recommended. Try with 1 GPU and see if you can OC more or not. hehe

....

850 W is more than enough for my setup and I have tried taking out one GPU with no difference in results.

Yes i know it's not recommended that's why I'm asking for tips. The voltage I am using is far from being high as well. It's actually running at 1.365 at the moment.

@Reuben, you can check the RAM with Memset86. I have same problem before, when temperature goes too high and RAM will out of order.

The temperature of your CPU is very high. Just wonder what HSF you using?

Coolermaster HyperTX as mentioned above biggrin.gif

47 C on idle. 69-70 C on load at 1.365 V
This is after 4-5 hours of priming.

Usually if it goes up for a few minutes it's only around 60 C.
I just applied Arctic MX 2 thermal paste so not sure if it needs time to set in.

I have done a memtest before but i'll give it another go.

hint hint.. wrong vtt voltage and nb voltage
hint hint.. dont listen to everybody that gives advice

cherio..

also ure crazy crossfiring that card on a p35...
u wont have much gain on second card..
change ure mobo.. not worth ure time now to tweak it to clock ure cpu..

Apparently the loss by using p35 and the pci-e x4 on the second slot results in a 5% loss.
Not THAT bad tongue.gif but yeah not ideal.

Voltage is correct.

Reapplied the thermal paste and temps are now in the 52-56 C range under full load for 20 minutes. Haven't had time to let temps stabilize further.

Actually what would be more helpful if you could tell me what was wrong about the fsb and nb voltages instead of giving me just a hint since I'm here solely because I'm frustrated with my overclock, not because I want to guess what you mean...I know you guys trying to help but aiyo I'm so frustrated here and now have to guess some more.

I say they are correct because I have tried a large range of voltage options and none of them work. This seems to be the case regardless of whether I set it to AUTO or not. Please review my settings below and tell me where I went wrong.

These are the voltages I tried.

CPU vcore: Auto won't work, Manual 1.35 V all the way up to 1.45 V in 0.0125 V increments
PLEASE NOTE THAT I HAVE TRIED THIS WITH BOTH PENCIL MOD AND WITHOUT.
CPU-Z and Everest reports BEFORE pencil mod that I need to set it at high 1.4s to get it even working stably at the reported voltage of 1.385 V.
After the pencil mod, the voltages reported were the same as set in the BIOS and I could reach 3.0ghz for some strange reason.

FSB Termination Voltage: Tried all the options there is. I left it at Auto it won't work as well
Northbridge: Tried Auto all the way from 1.20V - 1.55V
FSB speed: 333 works reliably now. I upped it to 355 which is 3.2 ghz but it won't work. I only tried incremental increases a short while but as you implied 3.2 ghz should be easily achievable. I also used multiplier 8 at 400 FSB
Multiplier: I used multiplier 9 and also multiplier 8 at 400 FSB
RAM voltages: Auto, 1.8 all the way up to 2.2 (seeing that i was operating at only 667 mhz i didn't see why i should up the voltage any higher unless i was going to the 1066 range)

RAM timings: 5-5-5-18 (although RAM rated up to 5-5-5-15 at 1066mhz at 2.2-2.3V) I relaxed the timings just to be doubly sure.

Yes I've also done all the required in disabling Thermal Management and all that stuff.

DO LET ME KNOW WHAT OTHER SETTINGS I HAVE LEFT OUT! I can't remember the BIOS screen perfectly biggrin.gif

The article below expresses the same problems I have with this board. It seems the more I deviate from 'AUTO' the worse results I get. The thing is that it SOMETIMES works which is really bollocks to me...Priming would work at 3.2 ghz for about 15 minutes then fail.

http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/mainboard...asus-p5k_9.html

QUOTE
So, the mainboard was working fine when the FSB Termination Voltage or North Bridge Voltage weren’t increased at all, and then it would refuse to boot when we raised them to 1.4-1.55V. The board would pass the tests and then would fail them; it would either reboot alright or freeze on restart. Sometimes, when we changed the BIOS settings just a little bit, such as increased the voltage slightly, the board wouldn’t start, but after we shut it down and powered it up again – it would work perfectly fine with the adjusted settings.



QUOTE
and p35 loss on crossfire with 4x is around 20 percent..

Yup you are correct on this. Not sure where was the other article that I looked up before I got my crossfire setup. now regretting it and considering whether to get a new mobo but sooo tired la keep on changing hardware.

Would appreciate advice on my current hardware now. However I am open to suggestions on what other crossfire mobo I can get. Budget around RM700 at max...
I also have a spare gaygaybyte p35c-DS3r but that mobo does not have crossfire and is still subject to voltage droops and what not.

@Reuben,

Mind to do a screen shot capture for Core Temp. I want to see the VID of your CPU.

Based on your message above, I assumed your setting as below. Please correct me if the below setting are wrong.

CPU Settings
CPU Ratio Setting: 9.0
C1E Support: Enabled
CPU TM Function: AUTO
Vandarpool Technology: Enabled
Execute Disable Bit: Enabled
Max CPUID Value Limit: Disabled

Overclocking Settings
FSB Frequency - 333
Ratio - 9

DRAM Timing Control - AUTO
DRAM Static Read Control - DISABLE
Transaction Booster - Disabled
Relax Level/Boost Level - 0

CPU Voltage - 1.385v
CPU Voltage Reference - 0.63x
CPU Voltage Damper - Enabled
CPU PLL Voltage - AUTO
DRAM Voltage - AUTO
FSB Termination Voltage - AUTO
North Bridge Voltage - AUTO
North Bridge Voltage Reference - 0.67x
South Bridge Voltage - AUTO

CPU Spread Spectrum - Disable
PCIE Spread Spectrum - Disable

For your case, you must set the NB Voltage Reference and CPU Voltage Reference as stated above. And then, you should just focus on setting FSB Termination Voltage and CPU Voltage only.

Bare in mind, always check your temperature using Asus Probe II. Don't stress your system too much.

Now, waiting for your reply.

Thanks for the update biggrin.gif Will give it a go. and I will post my coretemp vid shortly when i go back for lunch.
What is a recommended FSB termination voltage?

also i tried googling this all up on what each of them do but i don't quite understand still biggrin.gif Would appreciate some brief explanations.

wheres ure mem voltage?? set that to 2.0v for now..
run orthos and get the small fft stable...
then then blend...

then everyday tweak ure ram/nb voltages until perfect..

but seriously wasting ure time tweaking that mobo..

my expert bro, i'm newbie here n need recommendation to OC my tracer 4x1gb 800mhz with P5N32E-SLI n QX6700. minimum setting will do because never OC before. i tried oredi but cannot boot my vista la...................

my setting is in the tweaker extreme window, AI Overclock [AI OC] n SLI ready [CPUOC 1%]. is that all that i have to set?

You're only overclocking your RAM? What about your CPU?

Usually the auto tweakers aren't that useful imho.

Thanks for the tips and yes I realized I'm wasting my time so I got myself an x38 Asus Maximus Formula so I can run pcie16 x 2:D appreciate yoru help though as it did improve my knowledge.

Btw I managed to get it to 3.2 ghz but at an extremely high voltage at 1.485 WITH the pencil mod. Ahsiah has told me it's most likely the high VID I got with this chip and I am inclined to agree. This combined with the stupid voltage droop on the P5K kinda ensures my doom sad.gif

well i dont.. agree on that
3.6 maybe..
but not for 3.2 assuming ures a G0

i still think ure fsb voltages are wrong..and gtl also
hence ure forcing ure voltage for vcore to push through..

x38 stay away from abit..

So, based on your suggestion, what GTL and FSB voltage should set? what is the right CPU voltage should set as well for 3.2?

typically for quaddies for 400fsb on asus mobos.. with some exception to the x48's and p45's
is usually

GTL 0.67x for all the cores
FSB .. try 1.2-1.4
PLL around 1.6
NB around 1.4v

get this right with lower multis..

if u know ure vcore stock works at 2.4v
then y not do 400x6..
and then just worry on those voltages above first
get them right
and then comes the easy part.. just keep upping ure multi and vcore.. once in a while u need to run memtest to make sure ure NB can support the current speed of ure rams.. u might need to up in a bit..
rams usually u need to up slightly which i suggest u overvolt ure rams.. first

well,
when the time i fitted the TRUE on my P5K-Premium,it fitted tightly and the hsf wont move,
but now i fitted TRUE on my MIIF,i tighten all the 4 screws,but i still can twist the hsf,seems like it's very loose,any idea on this?

@cstkl1,

in P35, some old revision (not EPU version) I guess still can set the CPU Voltage Reference as 0.63x for 65nm cpu. for those FSB below 450, you don't need to up PLL. FSB termination voltage is around 1.2 to 1.62. NB need to up little but not a lot. This formula so far serve me well in Asus P5K Deluxe up to 495FSB.

u need the PLL voltage and gtl to 0.67 for 65nm quaddies..and the NB voltages are higher for quaddies..
not going to waste my time arguing with u..

fsb terminationa at 1.62?? did u know y many ppl screw up their mobos??
cause they dont know whats gtls and fsb termination voltage..

Actually, I managed to use 0.59x for Q6600 G0. So, it is not necessary to use 0.67. During the P5K Deluxe time, I am using 0.63x. So, I am not sure your settings and understanding. I just not arguing with you on this matter.

1.62 still ok provided not orthos 7 days non-stop. 1.64 on wards is very dangerous for 24/7 use.

I agree with you on this matter that peoples might not understand this gtl and fsb termination voltage. Hopes people over here use it with your own risk. Don't push your motherboard over limit.

not true. well, not wrong either but it really depends on the RAM specs.

if you look at his rig, it's using E6750 with 1333Mhz FSB. on 1:1 FSB:RAM ratio the RAM will be operating at DDR2 667 speed.

so if the RAM is a DDR2 800 RAM. even overclocking the FSB to 1600Mhz on 1:1 FSB:RAM, the RAM will be operating at DDR2 800 speed which is only the default speed of the RAM. smile.gif

in my case, i'm using DDR2 1066 RAM (yes, not kidding) so I really have to OC my processor to like what? 2000Mhz FSB already also still the run is running lower than it's default capable speed.

i'm quite new to overclocking. just had some free time, so decided to try out some mild oc. same like daze, i did only minor changes in the bios, using AI overclock to 20%. so now my proc running at 2.4GHz and ram at DDR2 800. if i wanna push further what should i do? increase the fsb?


Added on July 24, 2008, 10:34 amjust tried again..unlink fsb and ddr frequency. tried increase fsb to 1066MHz. so now running at 2.66GHz. any steps to increse the oc?

Asus Rampage Formula bios updated 0408

Personal experience
1. Memory stability improved.
2. Overclocking FSB increased.

Refer to the url below.

http://www.keepandshare.com/doc/view.php?id=712947&da=y

Please take note, I have test this only with Rampage Formula motherboard. For those with P5E flashed "Rampage Formula" or Maximus Formula owner, use it at your own risk.

in my case, i'm using DDR2 1066 RAM (yes, not kidding) so I really have to OC my processor to like what? 2000Mhz FSB already also still the run is running lower than it's default capable speed.
*
now i learn it

ram divider.
1:1

eg. E2160 with 9X333 then the ram will be dual 333 as 667
eg. E2160 with 9X400 then the ram will be dual 400 as 800

1:1:20
eg. E2160 with 9X333 the ram will be dual 1.2X333 as 800
eg. E2160 with 9X400 the ram will be dual 1.2X400 as 960


when install a E2160 on board with default setting
eg. E2160 with 9X200.. board will check ram module u install

suppose using DDR2-800
it will automatic change to 1:2 thumbup.gif

corrent me if i am wrong.

What platform you are working on? AMD or Intel?

If Intel, there are two possibilities.
1. Not enough voltage.
2. FSB Termination Voltage is not correct.

If AMD, any AMD Asus OC owner please help him.

Just some update over the BIOS updated from 0403 to 0408. I found more stable when using Kingmax 1066Mhz 1GB x 2 RAM.

You can try this software if your motherboard is using AMI bios. Please double check. So far it is serve me well for Asus P5K Deluxe and Asus Rampage Formula.

Please take note, you it at your own risk.

AMI Bios Flash (SendSpace)

Please update us that you manage to use it to flash your bios to older version or not.

This is my rig:

Wolfdale 8400@9x471=4239 Ghz stock voltage cooled with Coolermaster GeminiII

Asus P5QPro

Aeneon XTune DDR2 1066 4 gigs at stock voltage of 1.8V

Zotac 8800GT Amp edition

2 x WD500 Gig in raid 0 configuration

Coolermaster Real Power 550W in Lian Li PC-05 aluminium casing


I was not able to increase my FSB above 447 when I was using Corsair XMS2 DDR2800 even when I increased the ram voltage. Aeneon is great.....reaching 4.24 Ghz all at stock. I just had to increase the FSB in the bios.

System is stable. Completed 3dMark2006 and had a score of 13955.

I ran Orthos for >30 minutes without any problems but temperature was peaking at 65 degrees Celsius. idle 40 degrees Celcius.

I have tested with Rampage Formula BIOS 0410 with 4 sticks of Ballistix DDR2-800Mhz (single side). I managed to go from 345Mhz x 9 to 360Mhz x 9 in 1.2625v CPU voltage. It is great BIOS.

Greetings ..

Just got myself a P5Q Deluxe, a Q9550 and 4G of Corsair DDR2 ram. Trying to overclock this combo to a 3.4 - 3.8 range. The mobo BIOS is to me all greek as I'm very new to this oc stuff.

Any advice from experts here? Thanks.

UPDATE

After playing around with the various setting, I managed to get this ..

try to play with the GTL...both CPU and NB. for quad, GTL will (most of the cases) play important role in achieving better oc - either lower vcore with ur current oc or higher fsb...or both

What is a pencil mod, any weblink on this info?

My rig running stable at 365 x 8. My mobo do not have NB Gtl, only CPU GTL and i set it to 0.63x. I think you should try lower multiplier cause lower multiplier x higher FSB is better or faster than higher multiplier x lower FSB.

why on earth do u want to use lower fsb with higher GTL multiplier shocking.gif

u can use the 0.63x or 0.62x (dun know which one do u have) for CPU and 0.61x or 0.60x for starter...coz as someone mentioned earlier...GTL is kinda abstract...u need to do trial and error...

Any reasons why you want to go for P5Q Pro out of so many Asus mobo? I got myself 1 as I cant find P5Q-E in Penang. Any special reasons that I dunno? I have heard of modified BIOS but are those dangerous?

Thus far, I have E8400 @ 3.6Ghz @ default vcore and P5Q Pro.

I got it for RM470 from PC image. I just want a mobo which can do moderate OC and got most of the essentials. The review for P5Q pro is quite good for it's price as well.

dro,i believe using the ez flash utility is the easiest way to update ur bios.Just put the *.rom file in your hdd directoryfirst in windows,restart and update it in bios.

Hi guys, just a simple question here, I tried overclocking my E8400 to 3.6Ghz, which is a pretty small amount compared to wha tyou guys have done, should I increase the cpu voltage or anything for that? Because I did not increase any voltage or whatever, just the cpu frequency but it won't boot into windows. It will show the loading bar (vista 64 bit btw) but when the windows logo is supposed to show up and make some music, it doen't. I changed back to 3GHz and it was back to normal. So the question is whether the bios is unstable? (I'm still using the first version, lazy to update) or the voltage too low? Or too hot? Thanks for your help guys.

btw the whole bpoint i wanted to overclockin the first plac eis because my 3dmark06 score got 13k++ like that, with 9800GTX sli, which it hink is quite low. What do you guys think?

there are lot of guides and tutorial about how to oc on Asus P5Q-L PRO,just google it.
it seem that P5Q-L is more popular than P5Q on OC,me myself couldn't find the others who
using the P5Q mobo with Q6600 instead of P5Q-L PRO.
if u wanna watch video's guide,just searching it on youtube, there are also lot of OC upload

I have a really nagging problem. I currently trying to manually configure my ballistix tracer 8500 2x1g to run at stock speed 1066 with timing 5-5-5-15.

It just cant post at all if i set it to run at it stock speed. If it can then the timing would be insane at 10-15-10-30! really slow

Ram doesnt seems faulty since it pass memtest. Mobo is p5k pro. Proc q6600 400x9. ram volt is 2.0

Any solution?

1.9? the spec on the ram suggest 2.0 & i did try 2.1 but the result seem the same.

Highest i can run it is 4-4-4-15 at 500mhz. Never try 1.9 though..will try later.

what do you want to oc? cpu?

well for starters, when you boot your pc do press the delete key or any similar key to enter the bios.

then proceed to advanced section then to jumperfree configuration. Set the Ai tuining to manual.

The rest of the setup depend on urself but do refer here

Hello everyone, I'm new to OC, I try to OC with my P5B-E plus with E6320, is it ok that I start OC on CPU and without OC on ram? ( Because I feel ram there quite a lot setting there to set..... )

I don't know how much can I set with that intel HSF, so getting try slowly add biggrin.gif

This what I have try on adding cpu frequency and cpu voltage.
Attached Image

But I notice the multiplier there is x6 but sometime it jump to x7 few sec then turn back to x6, is it like that?
I solve this problem by disable the CIE at bio there, just follow the info I search, but not sure is safety or not laugh.gif

The Dram there still no idea biggrin.gif Just keep to 5-5-5-15-5-42-10-10-10-11 biggrin.gif

Now scare scare liao rclxub.gif

After try few round, I pump the cpu frequency until 450, then the dram frequency minimum also until 900 mhz.... my ram just only 667mhz ( so when i test feel like hanging there laugh.gif )

u may search google lo... and do research about overclocking... me is not very pro... so cant give comment too much.. hehe...
Ya... if do simple overclocking is something like wat u do... but in bios not Ai Booster... ! more thing is u have to manual set the Vcore voltage... mean Cpu voltage... because AUTO , the system will auto set the voltage too high and make the cpu so hot and waste electric power...

Hi everybody, I'm a new guy here, bought a ASUS P5KPL/1600 MB for about 2 months, before that I'm using AMD, now switch to Intel. I'm having some problem to set this board, I need some expert here to help me! sad.gif

below is some of my spec:

ASUS P5KPL/1600
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3.00GHz
OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 / 800MHz 2GB Intel® Optimized Titanium Edition
Vantec iON 2Plus 600W
Gecube HD 3870XT 512MB DDR4 O.C Edition
2 x 640GB WD Hardisk.....so on

I don't know whether this board sucks or what? Can't even manual set something O.C, CPU, RAM, Voltage so on.....if I used manual enter to set one of the option manually, it will appear hang & no response, have to reset & restart to default, I have tried many many times, still don't know what's going?? Just need somebody to assist....thank you. notworthy.gif

below is my current configuration screenshot:

user posted image

What I only can do is just set AI Overclocking to manual, currently my setting is Overclock10%, well, is working like this way, but is control by the MB system, nothing else I can do, my question is how I goona set manually from CPU clock, multiplier, voltage, frequency of ram & voltage so on.......Or this board already build to lock all things?? doh.gif

Please help, thanks!

well initialy i had the p5q3 deluxe and p5q deluxe first retail release

the p5q3 was fussy about using d9gt'rs and sux like max
the p5q deluxe ram clocking was better than m2f for 4gb kit
but was bad on 4 dimm clocking of 4x1gb
performance around the same

What do you have to say for maximus formula? 2 gb kits a lot better then 4gb or just slight diff?

And anyone who know a lot abt the skews,mind sharing some insights?

ok then
this is something that i cant teach u on skewing

for me its kindda easy

skewing is not for higher performance
its to correct errors between ram/NB/CPU for 775

basic skews
cpu skew
nb/ioh skew

mem skews - cmd skew
clk skew
ctl skew

this is basic
mem skews if u dont have those three no point in skewing the mem's

not really an OC-related Q, but here goes:

If i connect my monitor USB uplink to my m2f, the board will not POST. It will stop at usbfinal. A search on the web shows that some people are having the same thing too. I connect my keyboard and mouse receivers to the monitor USB ports, hence having that USB connection is quite important. In the meantime, I'm plugging those straight to the rear ports. Some solutions say to change the USB setting from High Speed (480Mbps) to full (12Mbps). Not something I will consider. Anyone with a solution ? I've already flashed to the 1901 bios.

Thanks.

p/s: will slowly OC this baby. just finished installing everything earlier today.

previously on my p965 system, the dinovo edge and mx revo were connected to the monitor with no issues. Since i switched to the m2f, the problem as above happens.

haven't pushed the proc (and mobo) yet, and yup it's an E0 stepping. currently doing 3.4Ghz , i.e. 8.5 x 400Mhz FSB @ 1.25v. Could probably go down summore I think.

Solved the previous problem already. Did a cmos clear and it worked.

hi there. i got a P5QL Pro with E8400, 2x2Gb Kingston 800DDR2 ram and it's now running at 3.6ghz (400x9). actually my target is to clock it to 4.0ghz or more but failed. i tried with different multiplier and different fsb but it just won't work. wat i know is tis mobo is a p43 chipset and wat i saw from other forums are this mobo can't clock tis proc to more den 3.6ghz so i wanna ask all the sifus here it is true about wat i saw from those forums? i'm thinking to sell tis mobo and get a better 1 but not too expensive 1. any recommendation? i see tat P5Q Pro like not bad.

I overheard that Asus AMD motherboard is lack of Voltage and it is less OC compare to Gigabyte and DFI. So, not so popular so far.

hi fellow Asusian biggrin.gif

am a P5Q3 user and first time Asus mobo, unfortunately i am having some issues, hope you guys can help.

i had created a thread HERE

basically 2 problem:

1. no beep sound when i don't attached RAM and boot.
2. go into BIOS and change any single thing (e.g. disable floppy), Save & Exit from BIOS, system power down to reboot, but it will not boot up. fan everything moving, LCD screen blank with the LED on standby.

i had tried clear CMOS with moving jumper, even replace the mobo battery. but no luck so far.
here's the spec:

CPU : Q9300
Mobo : P5Q3
RAM : DDR 1333Mhz 1GB X 2
HSF : CCF
HDD : 1 SATA 300GB
GPU : IceQ HD4670 Turbo (OC 780-->810MHz; 1000MHz-->1100MHz)
PSU : Thermaltake TR2 RX 550W

Hello everyone!

Have decided to dust off my old WC loop & currently have it running on my Q6600 on Striker Extreme

Verified working yesterday after 16 hours of Orthos blend test at stock

Woke up this morning & decided on a pre-breakfast OC to a modest 3.0GHz, & that's where the problem starts

Apparently, the 3.0GHz reading shows up on POST & Windows boots...unfortunately, CPUz seems to indicate that my Q6600 still runs at 2.4GHz

Any Striker Extreme users here know why this happens?

FYI: Manual settings on BIOS, 9x multiplier, FSB 333 (1333 in BIOS; quad pumped value), a-sync RAM @ 667 (don't want to OC Kingston kapcai)

Im quite sure there is error sound such "Overcloking Fail. Please enter setup bla.. bla.. bla.." on Asus board. What could be the main problem? Usually, what the voltage seems to be less & need to add more?

Nope, none of that sort of error...

From the POST, overclock is a success (Just wish I can make a POST screenie). The only problem is that it doesn't show up on CPUz. Is this like, a real problem or is it just a failling of the software, or even the motherboard monitors?

However, will try to overvolt too next time in setup.

I dont know how to describe. This error come at the post screen when I start my pc. At first, I already stress the setup & all went smooth, no fail in stress, Linpack, prime95 etc. After sometimes I turn it off & later I want to play games, it just stuck with such error. Haih.. pening already, surf the net also no answer.. doh.gif

Just want to have you detail your hardware, if you don't mind...

Even without overclocks, my board sometimes just makes an annoying continuous beep, which is usually resolved by a reset. Its always a matter of the luck of the draw with Nvidia chipsets I hear...

Greetins,

Hello I've been a Asus Mobo user since 2 years ago, I was using Striker Extreme and so unfortunately it died weeks ago and I had to buy another one while it's RMA.

So I bought..Maximus Formula II, not very familiar with the interface yet..

Well anyway, I'd like to ask some advice regarding Overclocking as I have some issue..

My spec :-

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.40Ghz
Motherboard: Asus Maximus Formula II
HSF: CoolerMaster Eclipse (Crappy, I know, lol)
Memory: Corsair XMS2 6400 1GB x 2 @ 5-5-5-15
GPU: Gigabyte 285GTX
PSU: Enermax Infiniti 720W
Case: CoolerMaster RC830

Okay, to be frank I've never been able to overclock much at the days I use Striker Extreme because I don't have the time to do..
Only recently I tried to clock then it died..not from OC though..not sure why -.-

So my real overclocking learning starts with this Maximus II, which I have been facing some problem all along..
I've attached my rough spec below

Problem, is, well, now my rig is sorta stable at 3.4ghz, I can play games and stuffs without BSOD-ing and it's been a week.
However, whenever I tried to Prime it, it will get error within 10mins or worst auto-reboot.

I checked my temperature, not sure if its accurate or not though, 85 celcius degree, it can never go above this as Tj.Max stated 85, but the truth that I learn is E6600 B2 Tj.Max is only 70 celcius degree =.="
Now my question is, what could be the problem? My best bet is the heat issue though -.-"

Sorry for the long nag and thanks for reading =)

@Najmods, I am very interested into this Crosshair II Formula. I overheard this motherboard might have "some" problem with AMD Phenom II CPU. Just wonder have you use this motherboard with those CPU? Share more your experience with us.

Just come through this Memory Skew setting and share with you guys.

Memory Skew OC - Overclocker.net

Just check it out once they are back online.

hahaha!!!

yea, currently using this mobo for a year, bought it since July 2008~

hmmm, using Phenom 9850+ BE, overclock?
vomit...

only able to use its original N.O.S overclock or A.I overclock to maximum 10%...

if not, keep on restarting...

I overhead this motherboard not so good in terms of OC. That's the reason why this motherboard's retail price drop so much.

he means:" i'm using Asus Crosshair II NF780, AMD Athlon X2+ 7850 Black Edition, 800mhz Team Elite DDR2 Ram, 750Gb Hdd, 420w CM PSU (i assumed it's OEM or non-true power PSU), when i wanna OC my CPU but failed.... but when i placed the CPU in my old motherboard, i'm able to OC my CPU from 2.5ghz to 3.1Ghz. But, why i can't OC my CPU with Asus Crosshair II NF780"???

I think it's ur PSU's problem lor, izzit c/w your Cooler Master Centurion Casing?? Insufficient power supply gua?? u r using XFX 9800GTX, right?? try to change ur PSU to a true/ real power PSU and try again. should be OC'able gua. i assumed ur older motherboard dun have that XFX 9800GTX on it, right??

Based on your signature, I can see you are using 1.5v to archive 3.6Ghz with Q6600 G0 processor. Me too with Rampage Formula (X48) motherboard.

Here are my findings...
Ok.i've tried it.. stil not happening despite lower/higher mem clock ...
however... if i increase the vCore 1.25V maintaining the VTFSB 1.2V(previously the vCore is 1.23V) weirdly it boots! biggrin.gif
Managed to get 500FSB with PL8 with that voltages...with multi x7
if i decrease the vTFSB to 1.1V maintaing the vCore 1.25V it wont boot...
so i guess both vTFSB and vCore responsible getting the board running at PL8...
my statement(bolded) is a bit vague....coz i'm still experimenting with other voltages n see if they will affect the PL...

anyone here using p5n32e-sli?
i just tired to oc my e4400, the max i can go without adjusting any voltages is 2.8GHz from 2.0GHz. which means the FSB is running at 1120MHz. and my rams are currently running at 900MHz. I cant seem to it 3.0GHz, even more than 2.8GHz it restarts at the windows loading bar. what do i need to do in order to achieve higher clockspeeds?

If your ram is value ram , try use 5:6 ratio for fsb to dram to clock higher. and pump some voltage to cpu for clock higher

i'm using p5q deluxe but with E8400. it is capable to maintain PL of 8 with ram divider of 2.4. hence for 500fsb, you need to ensure that your ram can run at 1200Mhz.

U know the drill.. google is your best friend... but that 1 fact u gave me that i've not yet came across ... so i'm ignorant about that...
I'm still experimenting with my board.. there are alot of things needed to be explored...
i don't spend most of my time oveclocking like everyone else... do it during free time... i may not so called 'experienced" and "skilled" OCer yet..
but doesnt mean i dont know anything about overclocking....

need help


I hv a P5Q DLX (bios 0803) rma last month n having it now a new unit with new bios 1004. Right now, i cant OC Q9550 with that board. The max i can go is 2.98 with all auto. Once i insert CPU voltage and so on for 3.0ghz, it doesnt run with the fans all running 100%. No matter how much voltage i put (it did be ridiculous if 3.0ghz requires 1.35V)

Do help out if possible. Much appreciated

Just select "manual", turn off all those "EIST, C1E, Thermal throttling, etc" and bump your FSB biggrin.gif
For a start, leave all your memory timings and additional BIOS settings to "Auto". You can fine tune those later on. M2F is a very stable and overclockable board.

My M2F definately is a good board, have a feeling my E0 Q9550 isn't up to par.
It plays everything nicely at 3.4Ghz (8.5 x 400) but craps out on Ghostbusters and Last Remnant. It just reboots randomly. at first I thought it was my
4870x2 heating up, but even at 100% fan speed, it still reboots randomly. Plays all other more intensive games fine though.

I've put it down to 400x8 for now, with vcore @ 1.3v and Cpu PLL at 1.606v (originally was detected as 1.69v! when on Auto).
Passes linpack v2.2 on Standard. Temps are tad high though, reaching 90c on the 5th run (on a Xiggy Red Scorpion with 775 bracket).
Will slowly decrease the vcore and PLL voltage (default should be 1.5v right ?) over the coming few nights.
RAMS are Corsair Dominator 1066Mhz 4GB and 2GB kits for a total of 6GB RAM. vDDR at 2.1v.

Any suggestions ?

Eoma, when you overclock your Q9550 to 3.4ghz, did you test for stability using Orthos/Prime? Which option did you select (SmallFFT or Blend) and how long did you run it? The E0 Q9550 should comfortable hit 4Ghz and I've easily did 3.6-3.7Ghz on my friend's machine.

Prime and Orthos passed the 1 hour mark, on blend I believe (cpu and ram stress right ?) Gotta check to be honest, been a while.
Using Intel burn in to test now since it takes a shorter period. I'm not interested in highest speed, as 3.2Ghz on my quadie and the 4870x2 provide enough power as it is. i just want a mild OC with stability (450x8 would be nice though tongue.gif) and least heat !, wanna drop the vcore to 1.25 as proc vId is at 1.25v.

Actually Prime or Orthos is the best tool to test (old school way) biggrin.gif SmallFFT is good for testing CPU stability so if you can, try running 1.5-2 hours on it. Once you've passed that, start tweaking your RAM (timings, etc) and run Blend just to make sure your memory is working fine. With that, you cover both RAM and CPU.

Only focus on one thing before moving to the other so it's easier to tell which one is the culprit smile.gif

I'm not interested in highest speed, as 3.2Ghz on my quadie and the 4870x2 provide enough power as it is. i just want a mild OC with stability (450x8 would be nice though tongue.gif) and least heat !, wanna drop the vcore to 1.25 as proc vId is at 1.25v.
*
for quad, i would suggest u use prime to test.
90c for 3.4ghz is too much? my old q9450 C1 full load at 75c only..
dont use auto voltage setting in bios, it will overvolt to a very high value.

My M2F definately is a good board, have a feeling my E0 Q9550 isn't up to par.
It plays everything nicely at 3.4Ghz (8.5 x 400) but craps out on Ghostbusters and Last Remnant. It just reboots randomly. at first I thought it was my
4870x2 heating up, but even at 100% fan speed, it still reboots randomly. Plays all other more intensive games fine though.

I've put it down to 400x8 for now, with vcore @ 1.3v and Cpu PLL at 1.606v (originally was detected as 1.69v! when on Auto).
Passes linpack v2.2 on Standard. Temps are tad high though, reaching 90c on the 5th run (on a Xiggy Red Scorpion with 775 bracket).
Will slowly decrease the vcore and PLL voltage (default should be 1.5v right ?) over the coming few nights.
RAMS are Corsair Dominator 1066Mhz 4GB and 2GB kits for a total of 6GB RAM. vDDR at 2.1v.

Any suggestions ?

Dude.. no point increasing CPU PLL voltage.. just keep it between 1.5~1.52V is sufficient. U should concentrate on adjusting CPU VCC/Vcore and CPU VTT/vFSB...

Yeah, auto = very high voltages. So i'm back at 1.29v for vcore and 1.53v for CPUpll. Things are a lot cooler now. Max linpack reaches 80c highest on core1 @ 3.4Ghz.

The vtt is at default 1.3v, pll at 1.53v.
Any suggestions ?

I've had it run at 450x8.5 = 3.835Ghz before @ vcore 1.35, too hot. Stopped the linkpack halfway.

The ghostbusters problem still happens though (random crashing, even at stock speeds). Maybe it doesn't like x64 or 6GB ram who knows. Any other game plays just fine (3dmark and fur bench too).

As you're not interested in highest speed.... try to maintain your CPU core voltage at 1.25V... and increase the FSB slowly(increase the Northbridge voltage few notches at the same time when necessary)... test with *50 run linpack for each incremental step u've made.... and when you want to stop at certain frequency.. test your CPU with prime95 for *few hours after passing linpack. In your case, its better to run your overclocked processor at default VID. Anyway, its up to you to follow my suggestion... as u can try other ppls approaches/methods that seem work for you...

*Totally up to you.. the longer the better...

As for your reference, here are my overclocked settings. No guarantee it will work for your setup....
Mobo = P5Q deluxe
CPU = Intel Q9550 @ 435FSB X 8.5 =3.7GHz
Mem = GSkill D9GMH DDR2-800 @1045MHz 5-5-5-15 PL8
NB = 1.2V
VCC = 1.2625V
Vmem =2.0V
PLL =1.52V
VTT =1.28V
LLC = enabled
others on Auto
LinPack stable for 3 hours, Prime95 stable for 3 hours for each test(small, blend, large), OCCT test for 1 hour

its not related to vista x64 or RAM size. if it still crashing at stock speed then the problem might due to
- driver problem.. either video or audio driver.. try to update the driver
- game bug... try to patch the game
