which one has RAM voltage adjustment above 2.1v?

[ingenue007]

Do any of these offer RAM voltage options above 2.1 volts? Anandtech article says newer p5b-e will feature "the C2 stepping, additional voltage options for the MCH and DIMMs". Has this occured? Does the p5 deluxe offer higher volages? Thanks.

The P5B-E rev 1.01G only suports up to 2.1vdimm while rev 1.02G goes up to 2.45vdimm. I can't find a hard number for the P5B Deluxe at the moment but I believe it is similar.

deluxe goes above 2.1+ i'm pretty sure.

 

[ingenue007]

does anyone know if the deluxe goes above 2.1 for sure? or where i can get a rev 2 pb5-e?

i called asus. idiot CSR says no board goes above 1.9v for RAM.

yes, deluxe goes way over 2.1

 

[ingenue007]

Thanks!

last question. can someone tell me how high the RAM voltage adjustment goes to?

2.45v

I can't remember exactly what the max is, but 2.45V sounds about right for the P5B Deluxe.

2.4volts. ai booster states.

If you pop in a HiPro DDR Maximizer you can go from 1.7v to 3.0v lol

I'm considering purchasing one to get more stable voltage. Set 1.9 in bios and set the maximizer to 2.2v and it will give 100% stable voltage. I've seen people use one set to 2.3v and run timings and speeds that required 2.5v in the BIOS.

They aren't super cheap though and obviously norman usage doesn't require this. It's good for people who buy a board without good voltage adjustments though.

At around $190, that's mighty steep. Text

You could just buy a new mobo. 😉
