mine are set a bit tight as well.
Would you mind telling me where to download memset? I've looked everywhere for it, but no luck.
Thanks
That's normal timings if you've set 4-4-4-12 in the BIOS. I assume you're not using the 1402 BIOS then The Nemesis?Quote:

No, that's the 1402 Bios with manual enabled, 4-4-4-12 set in bios 9 X 400. I thought they were tight compared to Jimbo's but perhaps not.Quote:

With bios 1402 and 1403, I can't get it to POST with an fsb above ~385Mhz. However it is rocksolid at that speed in Windows. Really annoying, the screen just remains dark :mad:Quote:

yeesh, we need a dedicated thread just to keep up with the BIOS releases!

The only thing I have to do different is use more vcore (1.525v) with 8 multiplier than needed with 9 (1.475v). If I switch back to 9 multiplier the same vcore passes orthos @ previous tested speeds (9 X 400 3.6ghz). My board will only do 1mb Pi above 440FSB so I don't consider that very stable. Here are my bios settings @ 440 which is 32mb Pi stable:Quote:

I wana overclock my E6600 on P5W DH Dlx and i have few questions,
-first thing i wan't to know what other settings do i need specialy to care about like PEG Link(which settings is best for PEG Link so mobo don't overclock my GFX) and how do i need to set them?
-how to reset BIOS if something goes wrong(any jumpers or something else(location?) and what to do with them?)?
-is it cool if i set PCI-E to 88Mhz and PCI to 33Mhz(any better settings)?
and one a bit off-topic questions but..., what are max safe temps on E6600, because on the Intel site it says not to go over 60 d. celsium, but i don't know due to which temps BIOS (Asus Probe,SpeeFan,...) or CoreTemp????
- id like to know about PEG myself
- you just restart usually fixes it or move cmos jumper
- you want 100/33.3
Is there any guide or instructions how to update BIOS on P5W DH Dlx, i don't know which files needs to be on floppy and how to update than?
Do you think it is possbile to make BIOS CD update by this way:
http://www.bay-wolf.com/bootcd6.htm from floppy disk?, but first I need to make floppy disk with BIOS, but is this way safe?
Is there anything else to do after BIOS update like reseting BIOS and how to do it??
all you need to do is put the bios like on a usb key or CD by itself
go into asus ez flash
and locate it and flash
just use asusupdate to switch your bios, it's fast and works fine.
I flashed to 1403.I didn't understand the use of "Digital Home Mode".Is it smth for the remote?There is no option for ecc now and i saw a change of vcore colors.
Hello all ,
Maybe some of you have the same odd problem or have the solution to the problem. When ever I fire up AI Booster it shows my set FSB for a few seconds and then downclocks a yet undetermined value. I have all option in Bios related to the CPU disabled except the Micro Updation. Any Ideas ?
If you select it, it explains the use on the right. Apparently it's what controls the fan speeds to keep your system quiet, although I thought that's what Q-Fan was for. Perhaps it allows the remote to actually utilize the feature or can disable it.Quote:

should that say "...mark the IDE ports AS "not intalled" in the bios"??
I have all SATA drives - optical as well as HD. They are listed as IDE Master and Slave in the Bios.... Is that correct?
I have the same problem, but I come to the conclusion that AI Booster is buggy and just plain sucks, so I disable it. Sometimes it show my clock speed as overclock by as much as 100 mhz, then it downclocks 200 mhz, very weird bug. I am now using Everest Ultimate Edition and the readings are correct.Quote:

Edit: as you see properties shows 3.15 ( fsb = 350 ) but both AI booster and Intel's utility show a very similar drop in speed .
This option is improved in the 1404 bios, you want to disable it for better performance, enabled it will throttle some settings.Quote:

I've read the thread by Mykou abou the DH Remote problems,but i still can't get it work.I tried all the usb ports and install/uninstall the drivers.The only thing i can do is turn on the pc!:(
I have a really strange problem with my P5W DH. It's running fine as long as I don't install any Asus software :S From the moment I do install an Asus prog (like PC Probe, DH Remote, etc.) my systems starts to freeze randomly. I've flashed to the latest official bios (1305). And that did not solve the problem. And I know it is the software. I can play WoW for hours, but once I install some Asus software not long after it my system starts to freeze. Does someone has the same problem? And how to fix this?
I get the random freezing.... but I haven't linked it with any Asus software ... are you saying that after you install it, you need to reinstall windows, or just uninstall the programs from inside control panel? I can bench / orthos for all time, then do *anything* and it may lock .. like open a webpage .. or anything ...Quote:

Please add this fix to the list!!
For people that have a slow post, they should try not only disabling qfans but ANY unused fan ports by setting them to ignore. This was the only thing that solved my problem along with others. Thanks!
Well yeah, everything goes nice, running 3Dmark 06, Internet Explorer, MSN,... as long as I don't have any Asus software installed. Once I install some Asus software my system starts to freeze randomly and not just once in a while but all the time, like every 2min it freezes 30sec or more. Then I reboot into save mode and use the system recovery tool to set the system back to a savepoint before I had installed the Asus software. And well it works well again and the freezes are gone. So yes I think it has something to do with the Asus software.Quote:

Seems like lower multipliers, higher fsb same clock take alot more vcore... Anyone else see that trend?
Because EIST change multiplier just before Windows;)
With E6600 you boot from BIOS with 8x400, so it is 9x400 to few seconds before it boot in Windows..
If your CPU is boot stable 1.5Vcore with 9x400, so it will never boot to Windows with 8x450 :)
EIST can only go to the max multiplier your mobo tells it, which in this case is 8 so that's not it..Quote:

I change that in memset to tRD=6, and get at least an extra 10 MHz FSB (didn't test more). The other subtiming parameters made no difference; only tRD.
Memset 3.0 is out now. It has a "save" feature that autoloads your settings during the first login after the next reboot. :clap:
Here's a link: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...8&postcount=14
In miochza's signature Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 3.2 gHz 1.4625V so in that case it is multi 9 :stick:Quote:

EIST can't set 9x400 if 8x400 is set in bios because EIST can only utilize the max multiplier SET IN BIOS.. (8x)
still would like a link to that 1404 bios. nothing in google.

The 1404 bios is not available yet to public. Only a select handfull of people have it. If they were gonna share it, I trust they would have by now. Should be available to all soon I hope.Quote:

hello
somebody knows how using ez sata port as normal sata ?
when i plug a device, i have a bios error
thanks
Just thought i would pipe in with my 2€ cents worth.
Ive found any combination of software that tires to access the temperature sensors causes the 128/256C temp report bug.
Either two from PC Probe / Speedfan / CPU-Z have caused the error on my machine.

How can i flash to an older version of bios (701) asus update and afudos wont let me ...:slapass:

I am new here and if I should post elsewhere, let me know. I have a problem with my P5WDH that I am unable to find a post on. Since I first set up the board I have had trouble getting the video card to initialize during POST. If I keep rebooting, eventually it starts and then everything works great. The computer will POST (although all I can see are the HD LEDS) and load up Windows. I know this because I hear the music play when Windows boots up. But I have no video. I have a new Antec NEO 430 and have read of problems but the same thing happens with a Raidmax 450. It works everytime if I stick a PCI card in the motherboard. I'm not trying to overclock at all. I have a Conroe 6600, video is a year old Powercolor 800 PCI-Express (no external power), RAID0 with 2 Raptor 74s, 2 GB G.Skill 6400. I have flashed to 1305 BIOS but nothing changed. It happens most of the time when I restart from Windows and about half of the time when I power up the computer.
somebody try'd 1403 bios already ??
In windows you can use the asus adpdate utility.Quote:

The utility will now return to the start point and you can choose an older or newer bios when you flash:D
Perhaps this should be added to the first post.

I'm running 1403 and I can confirm that lower multis work on my E6600. I didn't have much success running higher than a 400mhz FSB though so it wasn't worth it for me.
I can't install windows with intel's raid on this board. i made the drivers floppy with the asus cd in windows and I'm pretty sure it gives me the wrong drivers. I get a blue screen every time. Did anyone else have this problem or is there somewhere else i can download the drivers from?
i found a link on tom's hardware site. seems someone else had the same problem. stupid asus didn't include the correct intel drivers on my disc. my driver disc had intel raid ich8r instead of ICH7-R. i got ten blue screens trying to install windows over and over again thinking I was doing something wrong. I gave up and installed everything on two drives non-raid. now i'll have to start over and install from scratch. thanks asus! for over $200 you could at least include the right drivers. jerks.
I screwed up when I tried to install Intel RAID because the drivers that showed up were ICH8. I assumed they were the correct drivers. It turns out I needed ICH7R. If you scroll down the list on the floppy its is farther down. When I installed the ICH7 everything installed fine. You probably did this but you need to hit F6 early in the installation when it asks for drivers.
i only saw 4 drivers listed and the right one wasn't listed. i needed to hit down arrow and it's right there? jesus christ!
Ugh, yeah. Same thing happened to me, except Windows wouldn't even attempt to install. The raid couldn't be correctly seen with the wrong drivers. I ended up using the EZ-raid which is nice because I could also install Vista without worrying about drivers. But does the ICH7 raid perform better? If so I may end up redoing it.Quote:

This, however, could get your chipset temps up pretty high. Make sure you have good case cooling.

Keep in mind after doing this I reverted back to a 400FSB 1:1 ratio setup, which only requires a bit of extra CPU and Mem voltage, and nothing else (all of it on 'auto'). Just increase your mem volt until the text changes colors (I believe purple), then go one voltage step back. CPU I believe to be about ~1.45v. Rock solid.
This was all on latest bios (4103).
how much did you pay for the kentsfield ? I want one to :)Quote:

For everyone having problems with their DVD/CD drives on the Intel IDE port - the blue one - check that none of the pins are missing, bent, or pushed in. A poster on another forum was having PIO mode issues with his DVD drive and noticed this very problem, after spending days troubleshooting.

MHC voltage needs to be up around 1.55 or more I found when you get to 400fsb just to boot! for stability 1.65 was necessary for me at 400+.Quote:

Only if you want to use a downward multiplier to find your max stable FSB. It has no performance gains etc. Though the next bios did allow me a higher benchable clock, but not orthos stable.Quote:

Yes . This happens when you change the multiplier to a lower one . It's what i get also .Quote:

Try to change to 8 and boot to memtest+ . You'll notice that the CPU speed is with 9X multi .
I tried some DOS benchmarks and the change of multi doesn't change anything.
So , i'd say that the multiplier option is broken .
The explanation is that the multiplier at bootup is 9x, and then the bios changes it to what you set in the bios:Quote:

lawry, there are a dozen reasons why a file wouldn't be complete-- he could have attached a partial FTP download, or something. All I'm saying is that it's kind of ridiculous to say you have something, and then deliver something fake, unless you offered to send him money for it or something.Quote:

It's not like he cheated you-- you didn't send him money did you? Anyway, getting way off topic here. Bottom line: It sounds like you got a partial file. Reasons why it could be a partial file are numerous, only one of which (highly unlikely) is that he deliberately misled you for intentions unknown.
Once is a random occcurance. Twice is a coincidence. Three times, maybe, and there's a pattern forming. This could go a long way with some of these posts on these forums too.

A simple error using web based email to upload an attachment resulted in an incomplete file. I'm currently @ work and was unware of the problem.
