What did you change?Quote:

None that I know of. I would suggest that you first take that tin foil off the NB HS and put a 40mm fan on that NB HS. It works wonders when you OC. Most people still don't know that yet. There is a thread that discusses it.Quote:

Sparx,
All voltages are set at auto with the exception of vCore at 1.4V and RAM at 2.2V. I've tried maxing my RAM to 2.4V and increasing speed to 1067MHz, but got some BSOD's when booting into XP.
I've tried suggestions on increasing FSB, MCH, and ICH voltages up as shown on this thread, but have not found a winning combo yet.
you especially want to do this if you install the board in a BTX (up-side-down) config..Quote:

I have p5w dh deluxe, corsair 8500C5D , E6600
Currently running at 3.6 gb 400x9
In bios setting under DRAM Frequency I set ddr2-800, so my memory is 1:1 ratio 400 Mhz
What I want is to run the memory at 500 Mhz without changing the cpu frequency. What I have to set under DRAM Frequency in the bios that make my memory running at 500Mhz.Thanks
I have a p5wdh and I am not able to reach more than 320FSB whenever I set mem timings manually on bios. I mean, the same stable configuration with automatic timings means NO BOOT on manual timings on bios even if they are the same.
I see people here runnin' 425FSB with ram timings set manually and I can't pass 320.
Somebody help?!
The no-boot if RAM = manual timings seems to be a board to RAM configuration problem.
For example my friend's P5WDH would not boot with manual timings over 330MHz FSB with his OCZ 6400 Gold, but will boot fine 'til 399MHz with a pair of OCZ PC6400SOE.
You can try re-writing your SPD with the desired timings ( assuming that you've tested your ram modules )
Nice..how do I do that?Quote:

You can edit & flash your modules SPD with Thaiphoon Burner or the SPDtool by Wizard ( techpowerup.com for download links )
Remember not to keep a low freq & "trash" timings just to allow the motherboards to boot with 'em.
You can find some information on SPD editing & flashing [ and usage of SPDtool & Thaiphoon Burner here ] { search.php keywoard = taiphoon }
I have been able to boot with manual timings since the 160X series bios with this ram BL2KIT12864AA663. It is PC5300 rated at 3-3-3-12 at 667 and 2.2 voltage.
I have no trouble running it set as manual in BIOS at 4-4-4-12, 2.2V and 800 (PC6400). It will go higher but it will not make 1000 speeds no matter how much voltage I give it. Truthfully, I haven't tried every single thing I can to get it stable at 1000, cause I like it 1:1 and I am running 800/1600 or 400x9, depending on how you view it.
These are D9's and if needed, I have a link to the actual IC's, but they are the most popular OC'ing D9s. I purchased 4 sticks about a year ago, so I can't say what they are now as far as IC's go.
It's the board setting some really random values @ tRD & tRFC that prevent you from running your RAM @ high freqs
Been discussed in Gskill Tech Support forum here.
My mobo temp is sometimes like 53c. I've been told by a friend of mine that thats to be expected with higher end mobo's for oc'ing and its ok. Should i put AS5 on the n/sb? I tried reformatting in case windows wasnt stable (i had a run in with Ntune that went kinda sour) and tried Dark Messiah it played last night for a couple hours fine but then froze today.Quote:

53C on the NB is Red HOT at idle. I am at 29C with the heater on. I suggest reading that link that will help you clean that crap they call TC and reapply AS5 and put a 40mm fan on that NB HS, pronto!Quote:

E6700 with P5W DH, Corsair PC 8500...does this look fishy to you?

EDIT: I just tried and couldn't get the PC to post.
Hi Eastcoasthandle,
In his post, 1stMIchris talk about mobo temp, not NB temp.
How we can measure NB temp?

Here is my setup using PC 8500

Here it is booting up.
Thanks, now I can confirm if the AS5 I have put on the NB and SB have contributed to more cool temps.
