edit: Oh and cheers Haltech mate, how did you manage to get ahold of that? Any ideas what app they used to mod it? AMIBCP just crashes when I try to open any recent ami bioses with it..

yes that would be nice. maybe Bigtoe (Tony) at OCZ could mod it for us. he is very good at that.

I am guessing that IF the 1.85v has worked for some, that the voltage controller for the vmch is somehow a different rev hardware version than that on the boards above that still only see 1.65v.

Its soldered at both ends, you need to make a graphite path from one end (of the solder), across the top to the other bit of solder. And don't blow any graphite dust on the board, not a good idea.

- "The motherboard does not work as advertised without a newer BIOS than what it shipped with. I need a newer BIOS revision to work with my Intel Core 2 Duo processor. I do not have a spare processor to flash the BIOS with. Please send me a new BIOS chip with revision 0801 or newer using the information below. Thanks in advance."*
- name
- street address
- phone number
- model number & serial number

Hello all

anybody know where we can find bios 1101 because i have an X6800 retail B2 and of course on the P5W-dh it doesn't work, not found any links on asus site. Maybe on asus FTP ?

So if I take off this...

http://gallery.weyland.be/d/9803-2/DSC02399.JPG

http://gallery.weyland.be/d/9803-2/DSC02399.JPG

Its not a good idea to take the gunk of it? becuase if you apply AS/thermal gunk it wont fit again?

Can I take it off and apply Arctic Silver 5 to the chip on the NB and re-use thise on the radiator thing?

Im sure when I done the Southbridge it was on firmer and thats why it seems a bit loser? should I apply thicker amounts?

EDIT:

Gonna leave the gunk on the mossfets cos they dont get to hot, but i'll apply thicker amount to the nb/sb heatsinks.. oh and lose those gay covers too.

Well I just done it all and Im very pleased to announce my temps are now 40c motherboard and 29c cpu. Muuuch better than 54c board, thanks for the guide.

Edit:

Oh screw it I spoke to soon, the temp has gone in to the red again with pc probe...
Whats a good temp to set pc probe alarm at for the motherboard temp?

It gets to 45c and goes into the red and gives me warnings.

Its at 51c now... christ I give up.

Can someone tell me what causes the heat, the south or northbridge?

And is that temp a combined reading ie 50c = 25c N and 25c S bridges??

Mobo temp is related to southbridge but northbridge is the hottest

You also can replace the stock HS as I did

how did you attach you heatsink, I am thinking about clipping the asus cooler, leaving the power cooling part of the system with the included fan and adding a water block to the northbridge, just have not seen a good way to connect it, as I will not be on a bench, but in a case.

So need to hold it down, was thinking of using arctic silver ceramique, the heat epoxy stuff I used on the ram sinks for my video card, any other ideas out there?

this NB cooler is chip with retention clips which fit perfectly over the P5w dh NB :)

it is the coolermaster "blue ice" ( didn't want to wait for extreme spirit 2 )
