Asus P5Q PRO

[jrherras_iii]

I just bought this mobo and the g-skill 1066 2gb flashed to mbios mobo detected 1066 at boot
I tried to OCed my g0 Q6600 to 3.4 but im having BSOD at prime so i went down to 3.3ghz
my vcore is 1.42 nb is 1.4 ram is 2.1v as advertised. should i try 1.45 for 3.4? btw im using Thermalright http://www.xoxide.com/thermalright-true-black-extreme-cpucooler.html with 2 fans can this heatsink handle 3.4? thanks in advance

 

[oli_ramsay]

Yea sure! I had my E6600 at 3.4 with 1.525 volts with acceptable temps. I'm using the same heatsink as you minus an extra heatpipe so you should be fine with the TRUE 120 and 2 fans (unless the fans are 40mm ones )

 

[jrherras_iii]

Im using 2 120mm fans for the heatsink. ill try for 3.4 and bump up the volts

P45 is not so friendly with 266mhz fsb CPUs. but it do well on 200mhz and 333mhz fsb CPUs.



that's only require 1,385v for Q6600 G0 to go that high, on Abit IX-38 QuadGT. cooled wih ASUS Silent Knight. pretty warm though, compared to Thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme

aight thx ill try it now

 

[nINJAkECIL]

with P45, try not to increasing vMCH too much. it gets pretty warm sooner compared to X38.
and, try loosening your RAMs. go for higher CPU clockspeed first.

I would try to limit vcore to 1,45v, and go from there.

also, look for an updated bios.IMHO, P45 bios is not mature enough

The p45 can do 500fsb with only 1.3vnb you dont need it that high.

ok im using ketx mbios ill do some experiment later

 

[jrherras_iii]

hmmm i tried lowering to 1.3nb, 1.45vcore and lowered ram it seems i cant reach 3.4 I might have the G0 processor that limits up to 3.2? but 3.3 is no problem with me

 

[Deleted member 24505]

Have you dropped you multi as low as it will go and tried a max fsb test on your board? I did that and mine did 500fsb pretty easy with 1.3vnb.Try playing with the pll voltage as well,and mem oc charger/ai clock twister?

 

[jrherras_iii]

can i see ur settings i might try and go from there i think i have the new Q6600 that needs a lot of vcore once u go up 3.2

Thats untrue. I'm running a 266 strap on my 4400 and its humming along at 3.4GHz. P5Q series does currently have some issues when using a 400MHz strap though.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

Mine seems to run the 400 strap fine,for some reason.I am on 400 strap now with ram at 800 1:1,i only have a single 1gb reaper in atm though as i am waiting for my new ram back from crucial.

 

[Ketxxx]

400 strap works fine 1:1, its when you try going above that.

how about u ketxxx any suggestion in settings for Q6600 for P5Q pro with ur mbios? btw i just lapped my cpu and heatsink

 

[psyko12]

Wow, bro we we're talking earlier about you swapping to a newer mobo and here you are hehe!! JR it's me joey lol, have you been able to bump up your cpu? Or still having issues.. Good luck they're pros here they'll get you up an runnin... Ei send me your old mobo hahah I'll buy it lol

what I mean was, 266mhz CPU, not strap. I got your point, but after a little time of experimenting, i found out that way, P45 mobos (P5Q, P5Q pro, DFI DK P45, Biostar Tpower P45) are not friendly with 266mhz CPU. but yes, it has no issues with 266mhz strap. strange eh?

 

[jrherras_iii]

heres my result i tried going down from 1.47v i got bsod. I guess I have the new Q6600 go its 70c outside dunno to my room so i guess my temp is fine. I used 266 strap and my ram is running 1066mhz any suggestions that i can try?


I ran prime before i go to sleep for 6 hours no errors with this settings:
