Wonder if that's the same issue I've been seeing on and off. My CPU sensor (the motherboard, not the two inside the CPU) sometimes reports 124C as the temp.
Can anyone share their experience with S3 (suspend to ram) on this board? I have the vanilla P5Q, E8400 at stock, Corsair VX450 pwr supply, fresh install of x64 Vista. It goes into S3 just fine but seems to wake up for no reason whatsoever.

I've been using bios 0901 for the last while.
On Vista x64, Sleep works just fine; no issues for me.
Also, no wildly inaccurate temps issues either.

Use at your own risk of course; some people prefer 0803, or even older ones; YMMV.

n7, what did you use to flash the BIOS? I dont' want to screw it up (doesn't Deluxe have a backup BIOS?). Did you use EZ Flash 2, or the Update in Windows?
I just got an E8400 and the P5Q-E and I'm running it at 9x400 @ 1.25(in BIOS, 1.232 in CPU-Z load) but I feel like my temps are little high. They're at 45 idle and 60 load from Speedfan. I read that E8400 were having funky temps but I'm not sure how to deal with it. I got the 803 BIOS and I'm using the Xigmatek S1283. I left almost everything else at AUTO except I set the RAM voltage to 2.0V. I have the power saving options disabled. I wanted to pursue 4GHz but at the same time I don't want load temps to exceed 60C(if that's even accurate but I have no idea). Can anyone shed some insight or give some recommends settings? Thanks.
i used asus update =[
when you use a usb drive do you have to format it under a particular file system? (FAT, FAT32?) i am assuming ntfs is not supported. i have actually never flashed using the EZ flash utility so pardon my inexperience.
thanks
I think all you have to do is put the BIOS on the flash drive and hit ALT+F2 at the start and it will go into EZ Flash 2. I just did that yesterday for updating mine.

you guys all use the alt + f2 method? ive done asusupdate in windows since like...2003 (with my asus p4p800) and have had zero problems, even through today. should i start using the alt + f2 flash?

Eh, i've heard countless horror stories with flashes in Windows with Asus Suckdate, & then i foolishly tried it myself for the first time on my P5B-D, & bam, bricked it.
I was more than pissed off.
But i imagine if you've had good luck, eh, i suppose it's up to you.
Personally, no effing way i'm using a Windows utility to update an Asus board again.
Odds aren't my kind.

I'm beginning to think that the "MB" sensor in PC Probe (or alternatively, "System" in SpeedFan) isn't the northbridge at all (at least, it's not actually near the NB).
I wasn't too satisfied with the stock cooling on the P5Q Pro, so I pulled off the heatsink assembly (the northsink + heatpipe + MOSFET heatsink). At first, I just put on a HR-05 IFX. No difference in temperatures, despite the new heatsink being barely warm. Today, I finished installing a HR-09 on the west side MOSFETs (the ones in front of the rear I/O ports) -- instant 20C-30C drop in temps on the motherboard sensor.
I guess it might work ok as a northbridge sensor, since on the stock cooling, the heatpipe is connecting the MOSFET and NB heatsink...
EDIT: Well there goes that theory -- the temps are back up. Oddly enough, the whole time I was running OCCT, the sensor was at room temperature. Now that it's idle, it's climbing back up. Eh, I've just about given up trying to figure the sensors on this board out. The CPU sensor is just flat out hosed and usually reads over 120C, although there's supposedly a new BIOS that fixes that. The motherboard sensor, I have no idea what it's the temperature of. Oy vey...
EDIT: Oh great...now the sensor is the exact same temp as my video card reading in CCC :roll:. Damn it ASUS, why do you enjoy confounding me?
Just finished up a round of CoH, and now it looks like both sensors are hosed and are reading >100C. CCC reading is still steady at 56C, so I guess it's not GPU temp either.

The couple of reviews I've read regarding the P5Q Deluxe said something about one of the two ethernet ports on the rear panel being slower than the other. Does anyone know which is the better performer of the two ethernet/lan ports to use?

AmberClad, the motherboard sensor certainly isn't the NB, no.
It would report far more variation between idle/load, & higher temps than it does.
Asus is generally unfortunately pretty much useless for temps; this board is no exception.
That's one thing DFI is good for: accurate reading, or at least close to.

I have read that the top LAN port is on PCI, and the bottom LAN port is on PCI-e, so the bottom one is better (top vs. bottom in a tower set up).
N7 - I just made yet another edit to my post. I was playing CoH for the past couple of hours. Finished up and decided to go check the sensors again - both sensors had gone into nuclear meltdown mode. So the "pretty much useless" is pretty spot on, I have to say.
Didn't want to read through every post here, so can you please let me know if it seems like this mobo is at least reading your CPU temp fairly accurately?
Thanks,
Bud
PS...COH is my game of choice for the moment
.If you mean the CPU's own sensors (the ones that CoreTemp uses), then yes, those are just fine. It's only the board's sensors that are borked.
Once my 2nd set of Mushkin 4GB comes in, I'll be filling all 4 banks of memory and upgrade to Vista Ultimate 64bit.
So far, I have been running Q9450 on P5Q-Deluxe at stock, and it's rock solid as you'd imagine.

LAN Port 1 (bottom): Marvell Yukon 88E8056 PCI-e Gigabit Ethernet Controller
LAN Port 2 (top): Marvell Yukon 88E8001/8003/8010 PCI Gigabit Ethernet Controller
According to my P5Q-E manual, the bottom port (LAN 1) states "to be compliant with Energy Star 4.0, this port does not support WOL (Wake on LAN) function."
The top (LAN 2) apparently does support WOL if that is important to you.
im curious if you disable the pci-e network adapter if it frees up an additional pci-e lane for the southbridge? i currently have a x4 pci-e intel network card in the last physical x16 slot on my p5q deluxe. i wanted to use my asus xonar dx card in one of the physical x1 slots but i heard only 4 lanes are free on the southbridge (already taken up by the intel nic). im not really sure how it would allocate the available bandwidth. does anyone have any information or thoughts on this matter?
Not sure if the Deluxe and the P5Q-E are different but the manual states:
"If one of the PCI-e x1 slots is occupied, the Universal PCI Express x16 slot (bottom black slot) will downgrade to max. x1 speed."
"If one of the PCI-e x1 slots is occupied, the Universal PCI Express x16 slot (bottom black slot) will downgrade to max. x1 speed."
