Ive got an iATX case, so i had to mod out the heatpipe, replaced it with a thermalright HR-05 and modded off the mosfet heatsink from the heatpipe, AS5ed everything nicely.
Only problem is, HR-05SLI wont fit on southbridge, theres either caps in the way, or sata connectors. So i may run into heat issues with the southbridge when i OC. (Got a B1 ES e6600 coming in, so im planning to push 4 or more)
Whaddya guys think?
Nice photos. I wouldn't worry too much about the southbridge. Cooling the northbridge is much more important for OC'ing.

I use ES to change caps.
The P5W64-WS is not the first board with this setting. I think I read that people with other boards with the VID CMOS in the bios saw no noticeable difference when they changed this setting.Quote:

VID CMOS Setting 1 = 1.296Vcore (measured) :confused: :stick:
Are there any other 975X boards like this that OC this well, but at a lower price? Dont need the 4 PCE-X
Anyone gotten this board stable with 4gig or ram :confused:
I've just hosed the os trying to run 4gig of Gskill BHZ after doing a new os install with 2gig.
Unless you are running a 64 bit OS, you will probably have to put the /3gb switch into your boot.ini file.Quote:

I've tried playing around with FSB and multiplier -- making slight changes -- and am not able to get the computer to boot. Never had the problem with the 64 X2 4800+. System specs are in footer.
Thanks in advance for any help.

YOU changed the caps ? :eek:Quote:

P5Bs are hitting around 500 FSB, even unmodded. But I like the quad core readiness and the multi PCIe slots of the P5W64, plus the 975 chipset doesn't hurt.
About to pull the trigger here...

Well, can you give us a link AndreYang for prove that`s true ?
user sdumper ones came with this :http://www.overclock.net/benchmarkin...top-times.html
and that url says in fact that the performance of p965 and i975x are almost identical .... ( look @ the 1M pi, Sdumper and ncsa are having the same chipsets with almost the same clocks, and they share almost the same 1M pi time )

which performance is better?:)
In your setup the i975x is better,
maybe your differences is because you used a c2 stepping of p965 chipset wich has loostened timings? Curious how a c1 stepping wil do the 32M pi, I think it`s quicker. Also, the timings and subtimings are also diferent between the chipsets. Ah well...

I am very happy with my ASUS P5W64. This is a Test @ 100% Aircooling no mods and no AC Ambient Temp is around 20-21 Degres Celsius !!
