Ket's & Tigger's P45 OC thread

Well, I messed with the 400MHz FSB strap and its not entirely broken, works with 1:1 but the other 2 dividers are borked. Emailed Asus about it so lets hope they wing me a new beta BIOS.
 
hey i have the E8400 and P5Q-E.. I'm running 450 FSB with just memory at 2.1 and rest on auto. When you want 1:1 do you just set the strap to 1333 / 4 = 333 because the of the CPU? That'll give it 1:1 ram ratio? Thanks
 
The first option in the memory frequency list within the BIOS is always 1:1.
 
what exactly does Northbridge Strap do? I have it at Auto atm. Also I have a pair of OCz PC6400 thats not going above 900... and its at 2.2 v.. how far do you think i should push it 2.5? would that blow it up? lol
 
Well, here is my screenshot with my P45 Asus P5Q Deluxe board.

Anyway I can get a moded BIOS so I can get away from this DDR2-951 speed? The next jump up is like 11xx and I cant post. :(

im in im getting a e7200ES and biostar I45 (soon)
 
How are you guys using unlocked beta's of Everest? I have an older version (non-beta) that is unlocked but it doesnt support my mobo. :(
 
Biostar p45 ... whadday thing for teh xfire one?
 
I bought everest,so mine has a real key in it.there is a link on the everest forum for betas.

It will only function as a trial,without a real key though.

Nice to see some others joining us in our p45 oc'ing adventures :D

This board has redeemed itself,my sata 2.5" caddy actually hotswaps in this board.It would take 15 mins for windows to see the drive on the p5k-premium,in this board,it sees it as fast as a usb drive.And it is much faster on sata than external as usb.

CrAsHnBuRnXp; Dont tell me Deluxe owners want me to do a mBIOS as well now :p

:respect:

Can you do anything with fan q fan? :D Anyway of knowing what voltage it puts through. It doesnt really slow them down that much.

What sort of stuff can you do in your mBIOS's?
 
I can basically do anything with the tools I have for an AMI BIOS but there are some things that are locked out, Q-Fan is probably one of them. Q-Fan probably adjusts from 12v down to around 10v, hence why their not slowed down as much as on other boards.

Any chance you could have a look if you get a minute, even if you cant change it can you see the voltages it uses.

Also why does the Chassis fans work with q fan, but a 3 pin CPU fan doesnt?? whats the difference!
 
Maybe something to do with the 4th(blue) wire,anyone any idea what the blue wire does? any way to find out?.

I discovered while reading up last night that the -pro does not support 16gb of ram,i dont suppose it will matter really but 16gb would be awesome bragging rights :D

Yeah the 4th wire is PWM, is another way of controlling fan speeds. But what gets me is that the mobo can control case fans with 3pin, but not a cpu fan with 3 pin. WTF!
 
Maybe because of the blue wire on the cpu fan connector,the motherboard can only control that fan using the pwm wire,and not using the red power wire on the other connectors? just an idea.

Suppose.
Well it doesnt matter now anyway. The zerotherm is going back. I have ordered a Xigmatek S1283 like I should have done in the first place. That has PWM anyway.
 
To answer all of the above - its just how the BIOS is programmed :p The Pro with my mBIOS may well be capable of supporting 16GB memory, everything like that is stored in the memory tables, and as the memory table my mBIOS uses is from the Premium and the Premium certainly does support 16GB, things are looking good. Just dont quote my word as gospel that my mBIOS supports 16GB RAM, for obvious reasons I cant test that out :p Theres just a good likelyhood my mBIOS allows 16GB. On a hardware level the Pro can support 16GB as well due to its 8 phase power design.

Only if you dont mind and if it would be beneficial to me in any way. :p
 
It probably would benefit you yeah. The memory table from the Premium rocks. Check the mBIOS thread for it in bout 15 mins.
 
Would the premium BIOS screw me up in anyway or change the way my board overclocks? (makes it worse)
 
Nah, if anything it'll make it better - much better :D the changes I'm making to these mBIOS versions are the same as done for my latest P5Q Pro mBIOS
 
Cool.

Link me when its finished. Ill give it a go. :D

Hopefully it wont blow up my BIOS chip. :p
