If your looking to get into extreme CPU overclocking then I would say Asus P45 as in P5Q series or better yet Asus X48 chipset boards. If your looking to do extreme DDR2 overclocking then definitely get the EP45 UD3P.

Your answer is that we need more information thumb.gif
I'll be over clocking a Xeon and RAM. I'm also looking for a good sata3 controller card, what's a good one to use on the pro turbo? I found a p5q-e would it be better than the pro turbo? I'm trying to give the 775 build a kick in the a$$ just for the fun of it. I'm just getting into over clocking and don't know all the in and outs of it. I wanted to use my 775 build to experiment with to get a better understanding of OC so I can get the most I can from my i7-4790k build without damaging it.

@mllrkllr88, I saw a p5q-e for a good price so I emailed the seller to see which p5q-e revision it was, they didn't answer but raised the price so I emailed them again to tell them what I thought about them raising the price after someone showed interest in it, in return they sent me an offer for 71% off(now $19 instead of the original $60 price) if the p5q-e is a decent board then I'll get it. Is it better, worse or about the same as the pro turbo I'm looking at? The pro turbo is $80 plus shipping, I've got two options, the p5q-e for $19+$20 shipping and a gigabyte ga p35 s3g for $35+$10 shipping, which of these cheaper options are better?

I have a P5Q-E and its a great overclocker, but it doesn't do high FSB chips well. Also, if your going t be running Xeon you will have to cut the socket tabs and get the 771 to 775 conversion stickers for the CPU. Its a good thing that board is heap so if you botch the socket mod you wont be out too much money.

The Xeon 5xxx series chips wont be the best in the P5Q-E because they are going to need a lot of FSB to get those clocks high. My board does about 500 FSB without insane voltage. So if you want to get in the 5+ghz range with Xeon 5xxx series chips then get the UD3P because its a FSB OC master.

Here is my best clock with P5Q-E: http://hwbot.org/submission/2749899_mllrkllr88_cpu_frequency_pentium_4_d_925_6168_mhz

Also, I did Vcore, OCP, and Vdroop hard mods on my P5Q-E and I would be happy to share those mods with you if you want them. The bios of that board wont boot with more than 1.85v so you need the mods if you want some extreme clocks.

I found the pencil mod when I researched the board, I'm familiar with the 775-771 mod already but thanks for the pointer anyway. If the x5xxx don't work well then what would be best to use? I was gonna try E5440 or E5450, I have a Q6600, E6600 and E6700 on hand already.

Lots of chips will do well. Just know that your board prolly won't go much past 550fsb, most of them don't. So just do the math to figure out if you can get the overclock that you want. Generally speaking P4's do really well because they don't need much fsb to get good clocks but C2D not so much.

Hi Guys!

Good to see P45 and Socket 775 is still alive!!! I got hooked again, after trying to get the max out of my Asus P5P43TD Pro / Q9550 / Radeon HD 6850 / 4x4 Gb OCZ Platinum Premium 1333 PC.

got to 441 x 8.5 on the Quad with stock cooler and started (geez, I am such an idiot) to run the memory at full potential instead of 1066. But I got wind of the Xeon mod and yeah, here we go

Got the Noctua NH14 cooler / Xeon 5470 and CPU and mod kit (also modded a 5492) / 128 Gb Transcend SSD.

Running Xeon 5470 @ 3.92 Mhz, DDR3 1333 7-7-7-16, 416 FSB at basically stock settings. Doesn't pass Prime yet, but it's running stable and Prime just errors out. CPU is all still auto, so am not done pushing it a bit more while running it comfortable since I am more than satisfied with my little 775 monster biggrin.gif

For some reason I cannot get past 441 on the FSB, like instantly. Go from 441 to 442 and bam, it won't even post no matter what I try and also tried to see if it's not a FSB hole so 445, 450 etc. I suspect it's memory related (I can push the OCZ to 758@1.65V), as I had the same thing happen with Crucial Tactical 1600 and the barrier was 421 MHz (which was way faster and went over 900). I have a set of 16 Gb Crucial Sport XT 1866 coming tomorrow, so some more play time thumb.gif

Hi everybody,

I just purchased a Xeon x5460 (and pin mod) that I intend to install on a P5Q Pro

Actually I just started reading this thread and the 'delidded' site thread too.

At a glance, hopefully (..) no big problem ahead , still I need advice on the most suited modded Bios.

That is one that will not only run with no problem but that will also keep and provide with ALL features
normally associated with using a regular Q9650 . That is I have read some modded bios may work partly OK but still
not provide say SSE 4.1 or VT-x, or even Speedstep.

I do take interest in Speedstep and combine it with oc' (actually I use it with a Q6600 /P5Bdlx to keep
stock speed when idle.)

So while I read , what could be yet from usage your advice for such a best modded Bios ?

Among modded Bios this is the one which is best achieved ( stability, features, etc..) ?

Okay, fine then , thanks very much thumb.gif
