QUOTE(valtai30 @ May 15 2009, 10:33 AM) P5Q Deluxe user reporting!! anybody using this mobo with Q6600 or others cpu, please give comment on far u can OC using this board. tq! as for me, so far so good, just wanna fully test it's OC capability. reached 440 fsb easy if set PL to 8. starting from 450fsb need to set PL to 10 else can't be boot. reached 500fsb with PL 10 This post has been edited by campsol2k: May 24 2009, 04:48 PM |

QUOTE(OC4/3 @ May 25 2009, 12:01 AM) Try higher ram divider and tighter timing,500fsb should be able to hold pl8 assuming your setup can take it(Ram,nb) I'm not sure it will apply to my proc coz u're using duals whereas i'm using quads.... tried other RAM which is not D9GMH... the result was still the same...

QUOTE(OC4/3 @ May 25 2009, 02:25 PM) You need to run higher divider,that all which means lower mem clock? from what i understand... higher multiplier will cause the mem runs higher clockspeed... higher divider will cause the mem runs lower clockspeed... nah tried it... still can't be booted.... |

QUOTE(OC4/3 @ May 25 2009, 08:02 PM) No no,higher ram clock 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!  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...

QUOTE(zuhair @ Jun 4 2009, 09:54 AM) 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. Thx 4 the info. I already reached 500fsb with PL8... about my statement regarding the voltage that i've been experimenting isnt true at all... i guess i've been messing up with some settings i wasnt even realize... that's why my pc can't be booted...  @OC 4/3 i was wrong... nway, thx 4 your guidance...

QUOTE(OC4/3 @ Jun 5 2009, 04:23 AM) Kekekekkeke google go learn more and you will know 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... Or talk to some good ocer and they will guide you  I am so lucky to meet generous sifu on here  Anyway,post here and ask if you have any question 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.... |

QUOTE(Eoma @ Jun 29 2009, 01:16 PM) My M2F definately is a good board, have a feeling my E0 Q9550 isn't up to par. 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...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 ? |

QUOTE(Eoma @ Jul 5 2009, 01:00 AM) 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. 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...The vtt is at default 1.3v, pll at 1.53v. Any suggestions ? *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 QUOTE(Eoma @ Jul 5 2009, 01:00 AM) 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). 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 This post has been edited by campsol2k: Jul 5 2009, 09:53 AM |

If u dont mind, u might wanna consider ASUS Rampage Extreme. Good OC Board. Support CrossfireX x16.
Striker II Formula... totally not recommended for heavy OC n 45nm procs. But if u still insist on going for SLI, I recommend you go for Striker II Extreme instead. On the other hand, it supports DDR3/plenty of USB ports at the back IO panel (6 ports).... the only thing is SII Ext. is expensive.... Else Maximus II Formula is recommended if u want reasonably priced/very good overclocking/stable/DDR2/6 ports USB@back IO motherboard. I don't know about MSI though... maybe someone could advice on this matter... Added: you can go for Asus Striker II NSE.. cheaper alternative....

@kilowatt
Probably ur mobo reached its limit and can't clock the Quads (specifically Q9550) beyond 480FSB+ stable . AFAIK, the mobo that could bring the Q9550 to 500FSB stable is Gigabyte P45-UD3 This post has been edited by campsol2k: Sep 18 2009, 06:06 AM |

QUOTE(kilowatt @ Sep 18 2009, 06:05 AM) yup thats wut im thinking For me... 0.2GHz increase isnt worth the price... plus there's no guarantee that Q9550 will reach 500FSB stable on every Gigabyte P45-UD3 mobos...  ...but dunno it is worth it to go for P45-UD3P to get 500fsb + with low vcore  ...Remember.. OCing depends on combination of mobo, ram and proc. My mobo could reach 500FSB but i couldnt get my Q9550 stable beyond 480FSB until now...
