by "do I need AS5", do you mean you're not using thermal paste at all?
no ofcourse im using thermal paste that would be silly not to cause the cpu would probably die instantly
what im asking is should i switch to AS5 asap because of the high core temps using orthos /?
What CPU Cooler are you using?Quote:

If it's readily available to you, you should apply it as soon as possible along with a better cpu cooler. At first you will see little change over the other thermal paste upon applying, but after several days after the burnin/breakin period is over, you will see the temps drop. And usually when you stress test and at a low voltage, the temps aren't suppose to jump that high unless the cooler isn't sufficient.
ie:
my idle: 25-28C
stress: 40-50>C
it never goes over 50C>
@1.45V
I am having a lot of trouble running memory dividers with my p5w dh.. I got some nice ballisitix pc2-8000 and was thinking I would up the divider to run my mems @ 972 (rather than 778) 4:5 divider I think.. anyways, I'll be damned if I can't get it to work.. running the dimm voltage @ 2.2 and timings @ 5-5-5-15, which is spec for those @ ddr1000... anyways.. do I need to set timins by speed or something? or disable hyper path? hrm........
i am getting these errors on my mems. could the mobo be the culprit?

Yeah i know what you mean i got my taste of thermal experience from my old palamino Amd back a few years ago well more than a few and regularly with my BartonQuote:

ICH 1.2

its been more stable and the temps have actually dropped on the Mb sensor a few degrees lol
but yeah when it jumps on load it was stable at 57degrees for a few mins then jumped randomly but i think that was quite random
Tbh im using a really crappy cooler at the moment like i havent even used the Intel one yet so i might put that on but i dunno if it would do any better as this ones fan spins a little faster at 2596 rpm and isnt the intel one 1500 rpm ?
btw when i say under load i mean ORthos on small FTT's
when it comes to games i.e Supreme commander, Company of heroes, Battle for middle earth 2, Ghost recon advanced warfighter
the temps never raise above 48oC ??
Hey, well i can overclock my e6600 to 3.0ghz on stock voltage, but in order to get ~3.5ghz i need to up the voltage to 1.5v (ive only done this for quick runs to get a superpi time) but i find it a bit odd seeing as so many other people seem to be getting around the 3.3 or more at lower voltages...
Its a ... *checks box* l624, not sure where to get the week number.
Anyway in my bios i got all the settings done and everything, and all mobo settings up on max, maximum ive been able to get was an fsb of 393x9. I also noticed that around the 380s, that putting my vcore up made no difference but putting the mch (if i remember right) made it boot to windows.
So basically i was wondering, if its worth getting a northbridge cooler and it seems that you guys recommended the AK 161 BL-S Cool Blue Fan, which brings me to my next question, how easy is it to install this?
One more n00b question... the northbridge is the part to the left of the cpu correct? So what would the thing to the north be...
Consider yourself lucky that your week24 clocks that good..Quote:

Oh so that's how you get the week...
My box says my E6600 is Batch# L628A724 made in Malaysia.
So from that I can deduce that it's a Batch A processor made in week 28?
And I'm guessing this batch doesn't overclock very well (temperature wise) based on my results.
How good is L629?.......which is mine :confused: :)
I was able to get 3.8ghz on my week 29 E6600 using a Freezone CPU cooler...and 1.625v...on my Infinity 975. Haven't bothered to push this P5W with an E6700 and a monsoon II. Temps are horrible...Quote:

if you guys can return and wait for batch B it will be better or go to fry ask them for it...it will be better. A ver is SU.. big time.:banana: :toast:
if you get very LUCKY with A you will get to 3.80 but I don't think so. unless you do phase change

well the intel cooler itself is a decent cooler but there are others out there that are better... the performance of a cpu cooler depends on how the quality/type of the heatsink (copper, alluminum etc...) once the heat travels to the heatsink it heats up so you it all comes down to the fan... the performance of the fan is measured in cfm... the higher the cfm the more airflow you will getQuote:

yeah thats what i also meant about stress running orthos on small ffts and it never goes over 50C>
I can't believe they still don't have subtimings in the BIOS.. this board is useless to me right now. I hope the DFI lanparty core 2 duo version comes out soon so I can sell this and actually overclock my memory. :(
Believe it bud...I've mainly had nothing but DFI boards for the past year and a half and been nothing but disappointed with the Asus boards I've tried recently...Quote:

That's the highest FSB I could got.
MHC: 1,75
FSB: 1,4
VCore and ICH: default
Even if I set 1,85 in MHC it can't go higher :(
Just bought P5W DH cuz my G.Skill memos are not compatible with P965 MoBos.
I see so many people with memory issues. it ought to be fairly clear by now that G.Skill 6400HZ has NO issues when coupled with this board! It runs tight and fast. I just set it at 2.4V with a fan on it to keep it cool 3 months ago. I have messed with other settings but this mem likes the CL of 3 and the higher volts, just keep it cool. As you can see i don't set for max performance, it makes plenty. This is my main system and it lives in a nice case I designed and is full functional 24/7. I love this set up. I just hate to see so many playing musical motherboards jumping from board to board before they get all they can from what they already have. I have noticed when they get the new board that the grass is most often not any greener.

The board and the memory get along.
So its more of a cpu wall than an fsb one? :(Quote:

That sucks... luck of the draw then, and no... its not at all stable at 3.54ghz at 1.52v meeh i shall live with it being at 3.0ghz with stock volts, still a pretty big overclock just sucks seeing all these guys getting so much higher on air cooling.
guys, I am trying to OC my RAM ... its 667 and I want to run it at 800 at least ... stock volt is 1.8V, ram can handle up to 2.0 without any probs according to manufacturer.
timings are crap ... at 667 they are 5-5-5-10 and I set them manually.
if I want to run it at 800, do I need to set it to auto in BIOS ? I tried it with the above but it only booted into windows and then crash (BSOD).
I thought those timings are pretty high already ... , would loosening tRAS work? maybe 5-5-5-15 ? I was afraid to change it as I dont want to corrupt my drive (happened before).
Usually when I think my OS gets corrupt (file/folder missing error) when I switch back to stable timings it all runs fine
WeldZilla, which bios are you using?
