fvbounty Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I have a Asus P5E3 deluxe wifi, QX9650, 2 gigs TwinX3 1600C7DHXIN ram, running bios 601, XP PRO sp2 and all updates, the problem is running the default bios settings my cpu is running at 3.20ghz (stock is 3ghz) and my ram is running at 1600 with 777 timings everything set on auto, I thought that I would have to enable XMP in the bios or set the settings on the ram and cpu manually to run at 1600 with those timings (I thought running everything default the cpu would be 3ghz and ram would run at 1333?). I have run memtest86 v1.70 for 13 passes (in fact its still running now) with no errors. I was just wondering why at default settings shouldn't it be running stock spd timings? I now running at those speeds is fine but I get hard lock ups and then have to do a hard reset to get up and running again, cpu vcore is set at 1.36 v and on auto...It seems to me that the ram is defaulting to XMP settings on auto in the bios instead of me selecting xmp settings? Any help would be great....Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 26, 2007 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 26, 2007 I would suggest talking to the MB maker as that would suggest a BIOS issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fvbounty Posted December 26, 2007 Author Share Posted December 26, 2007 I would suggest talking to the MB maker as that would suggest a BIOS issue. Thanks, from what I've been able to find out, they have had a problem with the bios's, in fact Asus took down all the bios's above 504, the only problem is bios 601 is needed to recognize my cpu (QX9650)....thanks anyway...

fvbounty Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 Did you happen to call their support? I'll call today, I have been getting a lot of info from this forum, they have a couple of newer beta bios's (702 and 903) which seem to be better, but I'm waiting for a non beta, here's the link below, by the way I figured out the hard lock problem I think, its been really stable for the last couple of days, gaming, video encoding etc. Here's the test on the 1600 ram with the 777 timings on Everest 4.20 - read 10215 mb/s and 8384 mb/s write...Thanks again! http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=163694 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 27, 2007 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 27, 2007 No problem, it would suggest the BIOS was maybe the issue but let us know how you make out and I would get the Beta BIOS only from the MB maker to be safe.

redeyemike Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 FYI, I had 601 BIOS on this board and could not get the XMP profiles to function. Upgraded to the 903 BIOS and loaded BIOS defaults, then tried using XMP again and everything worked. So it appears that the 601 BIOS is indeed flawed when it comes to XMP.
