The ASUS P45 Owner's Club

[MoonPig]

Lol. Tell me when you want them and i'll post em.

This P35 is decent. I was worried when sliding it into my .. desk .. for the position of the Socket and the Ninja's closeness to my desk. Luckily it's the exact same as t'Maximus.

 

[Ketxxx]

G31 isn't a proper P35, its cut down and crippled

 

[MoonPig]

I have a G31 Gigabyte, P35 Asus and a P45 Asus

Oh, hows the 4830 Ket? Fancy another?

 

[Hysteria]

Out of interest.

Has anyone had any issues with M$ keyboards with the P5Q pro mobo?

The reason I ask is that I used an M$ Wireless Ergonomic keyboard with an wireless Intellimouse on my old motherboard (eVGA680i) but I can't get it to work with the P5Q. Just doesn't work. Or if it does you have to hit the key about 5 times to actually register a keystroke.

Worked perfect on the 680i but not on the Asus for some reason. Now had to revert to an old wired Logitech keyboard and my old Logitech G7 laser mouse too.

any ideas?

Its good I have decided to name both the cards "The Twins". They both clock EXACTLY the same If I had another PCI-E slot I may take you up on the offer, but I do not. 2x 4830s @ 710/2.05GHz is hardly a bad setup though

 

[MoonPig]

We need to find you a 3 x PCI-Ex16 board...

I'm quite happy with the Pro my next buy will be the WD Black HDD, then a quad CPU of sorts.. those things are damn expensive.

You checked your USB options in the BIOS? Make sure legacy usb is set to enabled and try both fullspeed and hispeed options.

 

[MoonPig]

I have the WD Black. Can't say it's much different from my Spinpoint 500GB. Slightly higher MB/s moving data between HD's though.

Guess who's on Linux

Only running it off the CD, keep your pants on lads

Linux is great till you want do to anything that isnt web surfing, mail or IM.

I would love to run Linux if I could play games and run my CAD and office apps on it properly

Oh and I'm going to install the Dark Knight tomorrow (well later on), on the off chance my relay switch arrives, so I dont have to pull everything out twice in the space of 12 hrs.

Block here.

I'd use linux more if they had normal installers like windows and not those complicated sudo apt stuff.

 

[crazy pyro]

I'm using it more than windows but that's because 95% of my usage at the minute's word processing, surfing and IM oh and DVD playback too (on the netbook).

 

[Hysteria]

Tried my keyboard again & bloody thing's working...lol.

Seems an update help somewhere along the lines as it didn't work when I first re-installed Vista on the P5Q.

Ah well, can't grumble

 

[aCid888*]

So, I made the mistake of not checking this before I said I'd take it, but the block I got from pig doesn't lineup with the Koolance one I have.....so I cant bridge them. :shadedshu


That is, unless someone can come up with an idea how to connect the two blocks?? They miss by almost an entire 1/2"...I don't know how I'm gonna make this work...


Idiot me.

 

[MoonPig]

Lol... you spoon. Run them with a small bit of tubing inbetween, or another Rad inbetween.

Btw, you like my custom packaging?

 

[aCid888*]

Your packing leaves a lot to be desired, but it did the job.


I cant run them with tubes between as the barbs connecting each card miss each other by about 1/2", they don't line up and to make them would force me to bend the tube and no doubt put a serious dent in the performance of my loop.

 

[alexp999]

Can you not get some sort of 90* connector?

Oh and Dark Knight is installed. Just want to get my relay working before I close it all pu and take pics

EDIT:

The Dark Knight has taken 10*C off my load temps with Linpack! (Intel Burn test)

 

[kyle2020]

Hurry up alex

Got 3 packages today My Supreme, Fans (thanks moon) and my side panel + goodies (cheers alex)

Fans are in, EK has been in a vinegar bath and is ready to be sold, and the side panel doesnt fit

Im guessing its my chassis, we'll see

And thanks for sending the HDD kit and those few other bits alex, that mini USB cables dead handy

 

[aCid888*]

I thought about that...but I don't see it working as 90 degree connectors wouldn't have enough space to connect the blocks.

 

[alexp999]

Why doesnt the side panel fit?

I still cant get over a 10*C drop.

hey guy i want to OC abit after a small time running stock
but tthe crapy mobo dont let me OC any more i tryed everthing but nothing works i did mange to boot once at a oc of 333x8 but then after a reboot it did not post anymore i want it to run 333x9 but tehn it wont post

this is what settings i use

MP 09.00x
fbs 333
fbs to mem 400
memory 886mhz cl4
volt i tryed differt volts for cpu nb sb and some ohter options

i tryed 4 pin cpu power in place of the 8pin power but that did not work ether


i am clue less now do u guy know something

 

[alexp999]

An easy OC for that chip should be:

All on defaults except

FSB: 400
Memory 800 MHz
CPU Multi: 8
CPu voltage 1.35v
RAM voltage: (whatever it needs to be)
Load line calibration enabled

 

[aCid888*]

Come on guys, I need ideas about these blocks.

 

[alexp999]

Can you take a pic so we can see the situation?
