Asus P5Q Series Owners Thread

[darklink]

another question in regards to to BIOS settings. has anyone had better luck with disabling the cpu spread spectrum or enabling/disabling the other mem tweaking settings like clock twister?

[alex98uk]

I disabled both spread spectrums and fiddled with some of the memory options. Here is what i used to get that illusive 3.6ghz


CPU Ratio: 9
FSB: 400mhz
PCIE frq: 100
FSB Strap to NB: 333mhz
DRAM Frq: 961mhz (P5Q won't boot with memory under 800mhz)
DRAM timing: 5-5-5-15 (other settings auto)
DRAM Static Read Control: Enabled
DRAM Read Training: Enabled
MEM OC Charger: Disabled
AI Transaction Booster: Manual
Common Performance Level: 08 (All pull-in's disabled)
CPU Vcore: 1.4125v
CPU GTL Voltage Reference (0/2): 0.630
CPU GTL Voltage Reference (1/3): 0.670
CPU PLL Voltage: 1.56
FSB Termination Voltage: 1.28
DRAM Voltage: 2.1
NB Voltage: 1.3
NB GTL Voltage: 0.630
SB Voltage: 1.3
PCIE SATA Voltage: 1.5
Loadline Calibration: Enabled
CPU Spread Spectrum: Disabled
PCIE Spread Spectrum: Disabled
CPU Clock Skew: Normal
C1E Support: Disabled
Max CPUID Value Limit: Disabled
All others enabled.

Voltage - 1.31
E7200 - 3.8ghz and has room for more improvement

Just need a new cooler.

P5QL Pro board.

thanks... rep+. gonna play around with some settings tonight and see what happens.

[darklink]

thanks alex, rep +. when i got home last night i changed my voltage settings so that gtl 1,3/0,2 were .67 (found out dual core should run straight 67%) and bumped my SB to 1.2v. Set the NB gtl to .67 and disabled cpu spread spectrum. 3.6GHz on 450FSB ran orthos stable for 10 hours before i stopped it.

I have a question on the Asus P5Q Pro board. Can I use a 4-pin CPU power connector or do I have to use a 8-pin?

you can use 4 pin

but better with 8pin!

I'm wondering if this is true.
Where would be the point?
If you have load line calibration on is vdroop so or so.
Ok, maybe nb and sb voltage is more accurate but we can't know tht without sensors...

this is true.. I have done it on 3 motherboards so far...

worked on P45, 780i & 750i

I have heard that the volt gets more stable and you can get higher oc`s with it. Correct me if im wrong!

I was playing 2 days ago with my OC and trying to lower temps and i ended up lowering my NB from 1.3 to 1.2 and my Vcore from 1.392 to 1.352 with my Q6600 @ 3.6Ghz. This Mb is amazing if you tweak it right. I think it has more room for tweaking.
