p5e with rampage fomula bios

[dies900]

Hi guys.need a little help and info.
trying to get past 400 mhz fsb but I cant manage doing it. just wanted to ask does the rampage bios options like dram controller voltage ref and the cpu,nb clock skews actually work with p5e or not cause I tried to change those but not much changed especially I am interested with the dram controller it does have monitoring but tried raise it and lower it and nothing it does change automatically when I change dram voltage.

No. Running the wrong BIOS on a motherboard will brick it. It's written for different hardware with a different layout. You're best bet is voltmodding, but that's rubbish at best.

I am assuming you are refering to the P5Q-E?

If so there is a thread over on XtreamSystems with modded Bios's in it. We found the 1703 is one of the better clocking ones (on our board atleast)


I have one of those sitting in my workstation running 475FSB all day long

 

[ucanmandaa]

there you go, everything about p5e, maximus formula and rampage formula including modded bioses

i take no responsibility though

I have read those already but in detail there isnt much in there.I have just asus p5e and I´m not going to flash it back cause with the p5e 1201 bios LLC did not work at all and I got into windows 1.368v minimum. this rampage bios I can run e8500 with just 1.28v @3.81ghz zero vdrop 24/7.just was wondering but maybe for this chip 400 is maxed out or maybe my memory isnt fast enough dont know.I´m not a master overclocker but if anyone has an idea where do I run out of juice then let me know.I´m happy to take any suggestions. memory is patriot pc26400llk 4gb running @961mhz(5-5-5-15 tRD-7) 2.32v so thanks anyways

run a 1:2 ram divider and see if taking that 961Mhz ram (confused by this number) and run it at 800mhz with a 400 bus. If it was the ram this should allow a bit more room to push the CPU.

 

[dies900]

well its gonna give really bad memory performance but I will give it a go

 

[sneekypeet]

point is if the ram is at fault and stopping at 920-ish, setting 2:1 should allow you to go over 400 bus

 

[dies900]

I´m at 450 fsb know changed the transaction booster to auto gave level 13
in everest memory write is awesome but the read is poor 9559 mb/s write. 7644 mb/s read

 

[sneekypeet]

so then it was the ram holding you back?

 

[dies900]

I guess so

 

[sneekypeet]

try playing around to get your memory back to where it was (920-ish) and enjoy the bus speed

 

[dies900]

so it doesnt matter if writing speed will go insane?

Can you elaborate in insane writing speed?

 

[dies900]

well it didnt shut down while I was answering to you but I think it wasnt 100% stable either so I pulled back a littlebit the fsb to 425 cpu is @ 4.05 ghz memory is running @ 1021 mhz for know its stable

IMO with that chip you should be up over 500FSB no problem with that motherboard. probobly land around 520 FSB or so (remember lower multiplyer higher FSB is better)

 

[dies900]

probably i´m not gonna go that far still thinking memory will fail sooner than 520 fsb
once i´ve tried 500 fsb and i got those wierd dots and lines on the screen after that I have never tried it.

set your PCIE Mhz to 101-103Mhz or so, you should gain a bit of stability.

the dots sound odd though... could be caused from the PCIE frequency being close...

 

[dies900]

wow that I didnt know
will try it out.

That doesn't make any sense, he can have Rampage Formula BIOS on P5E and it'll work just fine. PPL have done it many times on Asus and X38/X48 boards have same hardware w/ cosmetic or minor differences like having a better HS or a few more ports.

I am assuming you are refering to the P5Q-E

No, it's a P5E. Not some crappy P5Q.

No it's not always better. 520 or 500 FSB aren't plausible numbers to advise people. You'll need to push a lot of volts thou your mobo even w/ low multi's and it won't even boot up at those speeds.

This's pointless guys, don't post if you don't have an idea on what you're talking about.

DON'T flash it back heh, keep X48 BIOS instead of X38 no matter what. Those guys are wrong, Intel gave shit BIOS to X38 and one with more features + %1-5 more CPU/mem performance to X48. Chipsets are same but they released them as 2 different NBs to make money. X48 is supposed to be higher binned but that doesn't mean X38 is worse. It depends on your mobo, an X38 may OC better then a X48 or the other way around. It's up to your luck.

Anyway sneeky is right. Is this a 4X1 GB kit? If so, try with 2 sticks only. Use 420 FSB and 266:667 (4:5) ratio. You'll have CPU @ 4 GHZ and RAM around DDR2-1000. That will be sweet spot, try that.

Also if you need help with volts, list them and I can tell you right amount for that speed.

actually, 500fsb is very realistic. http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=387905

god i wish i still had that board

 

[dies900]

no actually I have 2x2 gb and it didnt stay stable @425 fsb:S
so far the best setting I have is the 400 fsb 3.81 ghz with 1.28v and mem @961 mhz(tRD 7)
its the stable config I´m just afraid to add more voltage to mem I already had to raise 2.2(real 2.32v) to them

I'm not saying 500 FSB isn't realistic. I said recommending people to go and type 2080 FSB is stupid. Anyone who has ever tweaked these mobos know what will happen if you wanted 520 FSB out of it just by tweaking a few settings. It wouldn't even POST. In fact, %100 stability at 500 FSB only happens once in a while. You need to go thou performance levels, GTL volts and whatever there is. Add temps too.

Now what's the point in coming here and posting a CPU-Z screenie of some ridicilious OC done by pushing every last volt and prolly using hardcore methods of cooling? What're you trying to prove? I'm talking about STABILITY for EVERYDAY usage which should be about 420 FSB in his case. Think a bit man ROFL.

 

[sneekypeet]

hmmm. Thats funny because both of my P35 Blood Irons did 500 FSB with very little effort, especially if I was running a 6X CPU multi. It all depends on the CPU, ram and chipset combination.

 

[dies900]

tried 420 didnt went into windows raised all the voltages and nothing
