The ASUS P45 Owner's Club

[alexp999]

My 530fsb run was @ 4.78GHz, speedstep was still on so it downed the multi to 6; Everest will confirm this.

Wow 4.77 GHz!

Nice OC!

And that was on air?

Can I join?

Great idea that forum for ASUS P45 owners.
I have a Asus P5Q Pro (purchased Nov '08) with just updated 2002 BIOS.

Yes, OCZ ram cooler in Antec 900 with the front fans ripped out and replaced with 2x110cfm Scythe fans, back fan replaced by another 110 cfm fan and then one on either side of my Xiggy HDT1283 in push/pull configuration; not forgetting the Antec "Big Boy"...RAM cooler, 2 front fans and 2 Xiggy fans on a 5 port Sunbeam fan controller. Temps never went above 49'C while benching at the above speed with 21'C ambient.

I am progressing to water and to answer Kursah's question; the loop is based around a Feser X-Changer 320 with Swiftech MCP355 pump with its top replaced with a 200ml XSPC res, Bitspower compressing fittings on everything, Feser 3/8in UV reactive white (blue under UV) hoses, Koolance VID-487 and Koolance CPU-345 for the 4870 and E8400...apart from the 4870 block isn't going to be used for who knows how long seeing as UPS/customs stole my card!

I also have the option to cool my RAM as its Flex II with huge blocks on them that block two ram slots.

SuperPi XS 1M @ 4.78GHz.

Notice the lower volts this time around for that clock.

Exactly what I was looking for thanks. Couldnt find it anywhere, lol.
Will add it to the useful links section.

Im going for 4.2 when my pro arrives, but im thinking the higher clocked ram will push my 06 score up to the 19K mark, but that remains to be seen.

Then ill be tweaking to get it running @ 3.2, 1.32V ish with my ram at 1200Mhz if possible. So alex, ill be in the same boat as you - I know what load line calibration is, but GTLref and stuff like that, fsb termination voltage and so on, I have no idea - never touched any of those on my premium.

 

[alexp999]

Hey kyle2020, did you manage to get those firestix from Paulieg?

He had 4 x 1gb of them running at 1300 MHz or something in an Asus P45!

Couple things, first people should use the attached version of AFUDOS with the following commands;

AFUDOS.EXE /iBIOSname.rom /PBNC /N

Attached version of AFUDOS does not have any "checks", so therefore if you have a bad flash all you have to do is hotflash with this utility in any board (doesn't even need to use same chipset) and your good again.

Second, even if people experience no benefits with my mBIOSes there is one thing you should remember. At the very least you will have much improved memory compatibility (as in, choice of modules that will work on the board in dual channel and quad channel configuration)

 

[alexp999]

Would you like to join oh creator of the mBIOSes?

lol.

 

[Ketxxx]

I guess I probably should shouldn't I as I own a P5Q Pro lol

 

[alexp999]

Will add you, what BIOS version you running? m2002?

 

[Ketxxx]

Yes, 2002m

How difficult would it be to mod an X-fi driver for our P5Q deluxes here then?

Just noticed all the useful links to in the first thread other than the Asus support page are yours.

 

[Ketxxx]

Its kind of ironic how one person can offer better support and solutions than a whole company Don't know how hard it would be modding a ADI driver, without the hardware to test things with things take longer, and are more difficult.

 

[alexp999]

The driver is here, hasnt been updated since the baord was launched:

If you decide to do it, say if anyone in here can help.

 

[DrPepper]

I'll test it out.

 

[alexp999]

Me too, I have Windows 7 if it makes any difference though.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

I'm using a old audigy 4 now,if a nice modded blackhawk driver appears i may give it a try,but i only use the digi out to my sony av amp now so the audigy 4 is fine.

 

[alexp999]

Has anyone else had the trouble of a HDT-S1283 being a bottomless pit of gunk?

I cant get the damn thing clean, its just keeps turning the cloth black!

And an X-Fi modded blackhawk driver would be so sweet! :drool:

My TRUE is constantly grimy even though I have fan filters.

Im talking more about the bottom where it makes contact with the CPU (didnt make it very clear did I ), I just cant get it clean!

Taking for ever to rebuild my PC. Mind you I'm a bit anal with Cable management, lol.

Bah well I can't mine clean either except the bottom is always greasy.

After gate crashing the AMD Phenom 2 club I realised our logo is nowhere near as cool as theirs, so I'm making a logo better than theirs we can use
