Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I received a newer build of the P5Q-EM and all my problems were solved. Also went with G. Skill F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK memory. Not running at 1066MHz though, need the settings.
RMA'd the P5Q-EM and all problems gone. HD 4850 plays Crysis 1920x1200 High Settings very nice. Still no 1066MHz with the OCZ, going to go with Geil GX24GB8500C5UDC.
Thank you for your response. I did check the QVL list for the P5Q-EM and OCZ assured me that the OCZ2RPR10664GK listed is the same as the OCZ2P10664GK that I used. Funny, they told me to RMA the board. I was experiencing BSOD at boot with error screen "ati2dvag for the display device...
Built up my new SFF, but had a lot of problems with the HD 4850 card, because of the board not playing nice with PCI-e 2.0 cards. Also, had a lot of "out of memory" errors with XP & Vista. OCZ support blames Asus, Asus blames OCZ. Anyway, my main objective was to have a SFF that would run Crysis...
If anyone has this board and could help me set the BIOS up I would appreciate it. A lot more options since my last build, P4P800-VM.
I have the timing at 5-5-5-15, Voltage 2.1. I'm not seeing 1066 as an option for the DRAM Frequency.

Have all the parts, will start build later today. Only thing is I hope I don't run into problems with the 4850 and P5Q-EM. I'm running XP, so may be good. Went with a E8500.

Thanks....Looks like the P5Q-VM won't be available until later in September...could wait I suppose.
I've always used and had great luck with OCZ.
Actually it's a SG01 Evolution with SG02 bezel. Wanted the alloy innards. The high gloss plastic bezel actually looks damn good. I use a an...
I currently have a P4 3.2 Northwood SSF and want to upgrade.
Thought, opinions & suggestions needed, not a gamer, but would like the system to handle Far Cry 2 when it's out.

The backlight bleed was horrific on mine. I was getting tired of looking at it, and for the money I felt it should not have been that bad. I ordered another and it is way better, same FEB 08 manufacture, so I guess I got a bum one the first time.
May I ask what brand cable you are using? Do you have Power Saver on or off...what about DDC/CI Support?
I'm using a Belkin DVI to HDMI cable, will grab another and try that.
