Asus P5Q3 Deluxe

Hi,

I'm trying to stabilize this system under 3D games max load and was wondering over the past year of this board used by people if there was a conclusive statement as to why there are so many stability issues with this board?

If anyone has any special tricks they used please let me know.

Thanks

You might have a volt reg that is heating up, or chipset cooler not properly seated?
If you have a lazer thermomitor you can check the chips on your board to see if any are beyond spec... try reseating everything..mem, cpu, chipset cooler,etc.
Also, you might try changing the mem arrangement..e.g. take and swap the mem modules for each other..put module "A" in slot "B" and vise versa.
I don't have experience with that board so that is all I can think of for now.
You could fire up CPU-Z and look at the "SPD" tab and see where your mem chips are rated at...this should give you a starting point
