Core temp and TAT both show mid 30's when idle at stock everything.

I posted a thread about this before. Both my retail and ES 6600 read out the same temps. The retail is lapped beautifully and the ES is one fast mofo that ran 15C cooler om my Pw5DH.P5W64WS PRO owners should watch out and monitor this, cause it seems im not the only one.

I'm having some problems myself. I updated bios to 0022, still cannot adjust ram timings manualy, tried 2 sets of ram, only boots @ auto timings.

Futhermore, i get BSODs at 3.8+ Ghz when priming. 3.9 Ghz will BSOD right after starting prime. Over 4 Ghz a 1M causes it to BSOD. This is a good CPU with plenty of volts and Vmch @ 1.8!

I'm getting the symptoms of FSB giving out as low as 422.. ><

Yea, I'm using 400 divider. Gotta wait till Friday for TGX. :(

What idle & load temps do you have with your 3.6GHz @ 1.425vcore ?

Does someone have problems with P5W64 + Fatal1ty FPS soundcard?

I have tried 0022 and 0215 bioses, both work the same --> non working properly.
For exsample Cod2 +Ventrilo sounds are lagging the computer and sometimes sounds are like *SQIIIRRK*RUTS*WIIUUUUU* and ears blows up :mad:

Is there any fixes this broblem?

Its sick, under a 9500LED i get 53 idle high 72 load on a lapped CPU :confused:

hmm, yours is a bad one too.

Now i dont know whether to swap it for a different board altogether.

@Devious, M8 it could still be an Intel issue itself. Some people have these similar problems on other boards. Its so frustrating! :slapass:

On the P5WDG2 PRO Asus have fixed the temp in AI booster, so it reads the same as core temp now (core temp is completley accurate). So I'm sure Asus will fix the misreported temp on the P5W64 PRO too. It's not really anything to worry about, just use core temp to monitor your temps....

but core temp was in the 90's during duel prime at 1.45 and so past tcasemax of 85 deg.

I wanted to push 1.6 in this and see how high i can get, theres no way i can with this.

I'm puzzled @ some of the latest results in this thread.. My initial results seem to indicate that the original topic poster was spot on.

I just put a new E6700 retail (L629Axxx) in a new P5W64 WS Pro mb with retail 0116 bios, and booting up @ default cpu speed/volts under singlestage phase I got a cpu temp (in the hw monitor section of the bios) of -50°C. Now my Mach II GT is not modded, so I find this temp rather "optimistic" to be honest. That's clearly lower than any reported temp I've seen from any of my other core 2 duo cpu's (I have 5 others, various steppings) in any other 975/965 I've tried (Bad Axe rev 0304, P5WDH, P5B Dlx).

So IF the P5WD64 temp readings are off, they are too low IMHO, at least on my board.

Board is unmodded, but I've put a ThermalTake Extreme Spirit II chipset cooler on it. Running a single 7950GX2 card, the system is actually 3d stable @ 440 Mhz fsb (cpu @ 4.4 Ghz 1.55V, mch @ 1.80V, FSB term @ [auto]). So it'll handle quite a bit of power IMHO.

So is this board highly reccommended then for OC and stability? I'm having an agonising nightmare deciding which board to buy at the moment, budget isn't really a concern (though I don't like paying top whack lol) I just want one with minimal bugs and good features that is going to deliver a good overclocking experience without modding.

*sigh* decisions decisions... :(

This is the board you want if you want a no fuss overclock out of the box with no mods board. lol

Well im sending mine back as I cant deal with the very high cpu temp it reports. Im thinking about the P5B Delux now.

Hmm well surely it's just a bogus reading... right? Can't ASUS fix it with a BIOS update?

Its a bogus reading, but i want to really push my ES chip so how will i know when its really too hot ?

Hmm can you not add your own temp monitoring sensor to the CPU to take your own approximate readings? If you can ascertain by how much the reported temp is off by then surely you could just use that to get the approx reading.

Or if you know from experience what temps the CPU is at a certain voltage at a certain speed on another board then you can translate that to the ASUS 64 Pro and use that to help calculate temps?

Not saying any of that is particularly desireable, but... :)

With phase change cooling. VCore at 1.6v.

Wow, Sierra, pretty damned impressive!!!

I am confused. When I first used BIOS version 0215, it had vCore down to 1.35. Then I tried 0116, and went back to 0215.
NOW, version 0215 starts at 1.40 vCore.

I lost the 1.35v setting somehow.

Yes, I pulled the battery and jumpered the CMOS reset. No change.

What happened??

0209 is the faster BIOS - You can try it Yourself. Keep all defaults and run 32M with 0215 and then 0209.

0209 gave me ~5sec better, tried two times.

I dont have this problem using 0215 bios..

In case anyone is interested (though this applies to the other boards as well I guess) but sticking a JingTing Forcetake cooler on my Southbridge on this board dropped my motherboard temps by over 10 degrees. :D

Durzel, what are your cpu temps like with this board?

Then the board is crap.. :confused:

Soundcard is working just fine, with another board.
