theFOoL · May 2, 2019

OK Buddies I'll Finally be getting the ASUS P5Q-EM with the OC BIOS! (There are lots and lots of revisions of this board which is stupid but hey it was the 775 Era :slap:

See ya soon within a week so so

Just a side note...

My friend fixed my CD Drive Caddy. Had to buy another one and he pulled out a plastic piece which was not allowing connection so

My buying List

A Mini PCIE to PCI-E X1 LINK

PCI-E Extender PCI E 1X Riser LINK

8GB 2x4GB kit LINK

SSD NVME 256GB LINK

Add-on NVME LINK

One question... With that pci-e 3 slot would I be able to boot say from my WiN7 boot load menu if I installed Go Editions?

Good question.

theFOoL · Aug 17, 2021

I'd imagine I could. I sent my friend a 8pin to dual molex for main power

theFOoL · Oct 9, 2021

Coming this week is all my goods up top. I'll have my laptop msata Wi-Fi sticker Antennas on the side or top of the case. Plus my NVME Cards

theFOoL · Oct 19, 2021

And my Friend bought these...

What y'all think. That 3 pci-e lane will be connected to a x4 pci-e lane so just curious on the speeds I'll get with the 256GB NVME

Interesting thread this. It's an inspiring read reminding me of the days when OC & tinkering where FUN!
I have an Asus P5Q Pro sitting around with a Xeon in it. Also I was digging around in my RAM storage box & discovered a Kingston Hyper X DDR2 1066 kit of 2x2Gb sticks. When I get the time I'll set that baby up cause' I'm curious what those RAM sticks can do when OC pushed.

theFOoL · Oct 27, 2021

And they are Here so this coming next week...

That link you listed to the DDR2, the seller claims it only works in AMD boards. I was curious about how come Intel had the P45 boards set up to use up to 16GB of ram yet only 4 slots. There must have been some 4GB modules around in those days but there a bugger to try & find now.

theFOoL · Oct 28, 2021

Well ha I've bought kits like this before AMD Only but they still work for Intel

The DDR2 AMD focused DIMMs are just normal DDR2 with SPD profiles specifically configured for AMD boards. However, there are no rules that say they can't run in Intel systems as to do so would break JEDEC qualifications.

True, I get that, but apps exist to reprogram SPDs.

So Excited for Tomorrow guy's...

Hoping this will work-out

Been a Dream to have Laptop based WiFi on a Desktop based Build 7260!

And... All failed bc it we plugged the M.2 into the pci-e 3 lane PCB which shorted the board. So he's buying another. The M.2 to pci-e was for a 4X and needed a 1X so I found one. Till then

Oh here's the photo of the back side of my case lol

Nice spaghetti (sarcasm)

AlwaysHope · Nov 4, 2021

OP, you'll have to get a board that supports booting from PCIe card. Not all LGA775 boards do that.

EasyBCD should do the trick...

Hey guys I'm in a bit of a pickle. My board has Gen2 pci-e express lane I think correct me and we I bought a pci-e card with 6 Sata ports with no power which is supposed to be pwred by the lane "yes I think that is for Gen3" but was worth a try. It lights up with blue led but windows doesn't detect it "yes I plugged in my SSD" but I'm trying to find one that's backward compatible for Gen2. Wish me Luck

Which one of your systems are we talking about?

I was referring to the bios, not a boot loader app.

My 775

The ASUS p5q em does not pick up pci-e related add ons if any 775 MB's from that period as far as I'm aware

I'm not an expert on LGA775 platforms but unless the bios can see the PCIe card, then no way an OS is going to see it.

As shown in the board manual found here, that board has a PCIe 2.0 spec 16X slot which can provide 75total watts of power through the slot. However the other two PCIe 1x slots are PCIe 1.0 spec and only provide 25 watts each(IIRC). Still, that should be more than enough for a 6port SATA controller card. You'll be fine.

As a boot device, maybe. But is a system hardware device, Windows will see it and ask for drivers if it doesn't have them already.
