First of all, thanks for putting up with my noob questions:) :toast:Here are a couple more: If i decide NOT to overclock, do you still recommend mbios1004 or would beta 0901 or original 0703 be better? Also, are the default settings for mBios1004 recommended for NON-overclocking? or do some defaults need to be changed?

...so, my question is, are the default settings for mBios1004 recommended for NON-overclocking? or do some defaults need to be changed? Like cpu/pci spectrum-by default they are on auto, but i disabled both-anything else?:confused: Also, could you recommend any of these 1066 ram kits for me? I'm a gamer and the choices of ram are astronomical-what's good and what's trash??? I'm thinking about the GEIL GB22GB8500C5DC, Black Dragon Series or the KINGSTON KHX8500D2K2/2G or OCZ OCZ2N1066SR2GK/OCZ2N10662GK-XTCPlatinum/OCZ2T1066IO2GK-Intel Optimized.:wtf: I admit, I'm a noob, but I really don't want to buy something that's going to give me problems-plus, i trust your recommendations and your knowledge of such things(doesn't hurt to kiss some ass, right?) Thanks!!!:respect:

I have a set of the Geil Black Dragons that run great on my P5Q Pro with mBIOS 1004. The default BIOS settings are also fine for most users and only need changing when OCing.

Do what you want, if you dont use it, little point in keeping it enabled.

Hey Ket is mBIOS 1004 still your latest and greatest for the Pro? Also, you mentioned you modded the boot logo. I was messing around with mine and noticed the Intel logo in the lower right appears to be permanent. Can that logo be disabled?

1004 is still the latest until Asus put a new beta out or make 1004 a final. I think the Intel logo is there for good, not a big deal IMO, its not in-your-face style, so its fine.

Hi there, I found this forum and thread via google.

I have a P5Q-PRO and I'm considering flashing the BIOS from official 0703 to your latest modded 1004

I have a E8400 with a Freezer 7 Pro cooler. Currently at stock settings (will bump to 400 FSB today). The manual says I can set the fan speed in the BIOS but I can't do this with the current BIOS. Does your BIOS have this option? I would like to drop the RPM to about 1500 versus the currently noisy 2800 RPM. My CPU temp is 40C and the cores are at 38/32 according to speedfan; 43/37 according to CoreTemp.

Thanks!

Parts are:
E8400 at stock 3.0 Ghz 333 FSB
Freezer 7 Pro
Asus P5Q-Pro 0703 BIOS
OCZ DDR-2 800 DRAM @ 4-4-4-15 2.1V
HD 4850 + Accelero S1
OCZ GameXstream 600W

Gah. People I've said it some 3+ times now, 1004 is FAR superior to 08001 or 08003! Hell with it.. deleting those attachments.

You are aware that is won't be as loud, right? I doubt the temperature will go up too much

I've heard people say the Freezer 7 fan is silent.. it's the loudest fan in my case.

Freezer fan is silent.. of course, there are those individuals that expect absolute silence with air cooling.. which is kinda an unrealistic expectation. You want absolute silence, use water ;)

The thing is.. my Arctic Freezer 64 cooler on my other PC (Opty 165) does not run so high. It runs at a slower 1800 RPM. The manual and website advertise BIOS fan speed regulation but I can't do it. Not with SpeedFan or Asus PC Probe II.

The 0703 BIOS lets me choose the current fan RPM (~2800) or "Ignored"

Asus Q-Fan works but I've read that it will sometimes turn the fan off completely; I don't want the fan to ever turn off

I'll have a look tomorrow what my BIOS says. I'm pretty sure to slow the fan down you need a 4-pin (as in like the stock intel cooler fan connection) to be able to control fanspeed more, the 3-pin on the freezer fan isnt enough. IF it will reach, you could plug it into a 3-pin fan header though and the system wouldnt care, then you could slow the fan up a bit.

You will see some difference as the memory will be able to run more in sync with your CPUs FSB.

Hello, I'm looking into buying this motherboard with this ram, which isn't on the official Asus QVL, but is on the QVL for the P5Q Premium. So since the modded bios might then work for me, the question is if using them voids the warranty. I would hate to have the mobo die a week later for unrelated reasons and then be unable to RMA it with Asus or Newegg.

Edit: found another ram type, but still interested in the warranty question.
