There are three PCI-E x16 slots. For the first two, you have these choices:

x16, x0
x8, x8

The last one runs off the South Bridge's 4 PCI-E lanes, which are also shared with the two PCI-Ex1 slots on the board. So, if you want to run three cards, and you have no PCI-Ex1 cards, you can run x8, x8, x4.

The 0702 Beta BIOS has gotten me to 500FSB. If anyone wants this board, PM me. I'm getting out of the game and parting everything out.

What do you mean? No more computer?!

I'm going to summer school all next month, then I have August off, and I'm off to Argentina in September. I don't really want to let my system sit here while I'm in summer school and let it depreciate in value, and I'm not sure if I want to keep doing this in Argentina. I might throw together a little mATX system to take with me in August, but for now, I'm selling what I have.

Also, 4870 pre-orders from me can be taken now I don't even think I'll have a chance to run it =\

ok....

got this figured out.... after reading what seems like 100s of pages of stuff on the p45 and what it needs to run.

i've got the old e7200 at 4.24ghz now. it runs stable as hell. there are a few advanced features in the bios that have become more REQUIRED for you to use in order to get her running correctly.

i'll post my settings soon for others to see. mainly... watch your GTL's. thats the major thing that keeps the board from booting up....if they are wrong of course.

cpu 0/1 gtl = .63
cpu 2/3 gtl = .67
nb gtl = .63

I just read that the P45 can handle 600MHz FSB.. can anyone confirm that?

I just read that the P45 can handle 600MHz FSB.. can anyone confirm that?

i've seen up to 635mhz fsb. it's not hard if you have a chip that'll do it.

Can I join, or is it still "coming soon".

Here's my setup:

check out the last page of this forum for a load more pics of the box/contents/mobo/close ups. (unless the OP wants me to post them here too?)

Guys.. please post your bios settings and a cpu-z screenshot.

use this as a template....

Pretty sure that is how mine is setup. I'm not OCing till I get my MX-2 thermal paste through

 

[erocker]

So P45 uses the same bios settings as X48! Good! How much voltage is required for the P45 NB around 400 fsb?

 

[Fitseries3]

1.1v for 400mhz fsb. 1.2 for 460mhz

p45 NB gtl is lower then any other board. has to be set to .63 to boot.

 

[alexp999]

To any one else on the P5Q deluxe (DDR2) have they tried the bios released today?? 0704 or something. I tried it then kept getting BSOD's and system crashes, so now back on 0610

 

[Fitseries3]

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=189437

that may help.

from what i read... the 0702 0704 (whichever it is) is the one to use. settings with the p45 are kinda different so maybe somthing is just a bit off.

 

[DanishDevil]

525FSB isn't hard for me. I'm done pushing it for a bit. Gotta eat.

 

[CrAsHnBuRnXp]

My P5Q Deluxe will be here sometime this week.

 

[Fitseries3]

welcome everyone to the club! lets see them settings when you get a good OC going.

 

[CrAsHnBuRnXp]

Ill post. Dont worry.

 

[Fitseries3]

IF anyone else has an asus board this may help...

 

[Darknova]

I think I'm about to break a long running habit and buy an Asus :|

 

[SirKeldon]

Nice findings fit, it's almost the same as on my P5Q Pro, results (when idling) are the next:

Load Line Calibration - enabled

voltage: bios - measured

vRAM: 2.18 - 2.26V
NB: 1.26 - 1.295V
FSB: 1.36 - 1.271V
PLL: 1.6 - 1.641V

 

[CrAsHnBuRnXp]

Anyone got a 45 quad running on the P5Q Deluxe?

 

[Fitseries3]

i had a q9450 running on my p5q3

 

[CrAsHnBuRnXp]

how high were you able to get it? Ive got the Xeon variant.

Edit: To add, im having CPU heat issues atm. I dont think my cooler is all the way on. Hopefully, the new cooler I bought from Toys in his thread will help do the trick as one pin on my TT V1 cooler has broke. I never had an issue with it before though so I dont see why I should now.

Edit 2: CPU-Z reads my Ram as DDR3?

 

[Fitseries3]

use a clip from a crap intel stock cooler.

3.82ghz was my max for the q9450. thats just the chips "problem" er wall.

idk why it's seeing your ram as ddr3. weird. lol.

Why didnt that ever enter my mind?

Im fine with 3.8Ghz. If I can squeeze 3.9 or even 4.0 just to bench, ill really be happy.

Everest needs to hurry up and come out with a new version because it doesnt recognize my motherboard.

 

[Fitseries3]

you will NOT get anything more then 3.82-3.84 at most. the FSB wall prevents it. it has nothing to do with voltage or cooling.
