Hey guys, im working on overclocking my week 24 6600 to a stable 3.6. I can boot into windows at 3.6 and everything is fine, i can read emails, browse the web and such (idle temps around 50), but if I try to run Orthos, the computer will just shut off. Im not complaining or anything, I am just wondering why it's shutting down. Is it temperature related (load temps around 61 measured by core temp)? Is it a stability issue?
Im away from my computer for the week, vacation in north carolina, so I can't really give a detailed report of what my current bios settings are. However I believe: vcore = 1.4275 vmch = 1.5 fsb = 1.4 vdimm = 2.15
and as for other settings, I have disabled whatever has been recommended throughout reading these forums and around the web. Oh my ram is set at 1:1 3-3-3-8. Im pretty confident my memory is sufficient for this (check my sig for the model) and even if I losen the timings, once I run orthos it shuts down.
So far my best stable oc for gaming and 24/7 usage has been 9x356 = 3.2 at a vcore of 1.2875 bios with most of my other voltages the same as I mentioned before, and ram same as I mentioned above. lol, i really want a stable 3.6 though! :D Any ideas guys?
peace
nice setup you`ve got there;)Quote:

Asus P5W64PRO Bios 0301
vmch 1.6 vfsb 1.4
Cell Shock 4-4-4-12 1:1
E6600 Week 28 @ 3.6ghz 1.425vbios
My mobo is running 400FSB 1:1 @ the moment. Its rock steady, i know the memory can take upto 500mhz stable cause ive tested. The Cpu is able to do more i just know it! Except everytime i crank up the FSB above 400. I start orthos i just shutdown. Its driving me nuts, i know that the CPU and the memory are fine, what do you suggest for getting more out of the mobo. I ve tried quite a bit...but no luck.. no matter :slapass: what i do during orthos the PC just shuts down and restarts!! :slapass:
Have you try 1.5v for vcore instead?Quote:

Did you try 1.8 vmch?
Your original post states your trying to get above 400fsb using 1.6 vmch and 1.425 vcore.
Icer, Ive tried 1.8vmch aswell.Ive tried 1.8vmch along with 1.55vcore and yet no result. What do you think? do the pencil mod and shoot for more?Quote:

These boards are not limited to 400 fsb, I've tried my e6300 on my p5w64 and can hit 420 on with the stock cooler easily, while my e6600 struggles to get there stable. Andre and others have said it has alot to do with the cpu, temps, ram etc etc. Not the board.
Asus masters please give to us new bios with more voltage just for cpu,or ram,or I must go to abit.
Is eny ony one with me?
I thought it might come in handy to pass this url : it`s the newest version of the Asus update utilty v 7.07.06 to update the bios of all asus boards in windows xp without leaving windows xp :

Question: where are you finding Bios version 0301 for the P5W64-Pro? Is it a beta? Link? ThanksQuote:

I can push it to 370, but it fails Orthos after, literally, running a second or two. I'm using Corsair 8500 DDR2, 1060 memory. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I've read and re-read most of the relevant threads here, but just can't get this CPU to run at 4.0. Thanks
The 301 BIOS link/server is down. Is there an alternative link? ThanksQuote:

I keep getting "connection timed out" messages. Hmmm
Yes, I just tried it. I was able to download the file.
Does anyone know if Asus is working on a cold-boot fix for this motherboard? Seems like the P5B is the only board they've actually fixed this on.
So far I'm pretty certain that the cold-booting is damaging my kit. I've had 2 fans that have ended up with LEDs that didn't work anymore, plus my Vapochill has behaved strangely a couple of times from switching off and being switched back on (manually) straight away (i.e. USB not being detected, etc).
Worse still Asetek have basically said they're not working on a fix for this as it "only affects ASUS boards". Which means as things stand now when this board does the cold-boot on a normal reset or BIOS change, the Vapo switches off, and motherboard comes back on with no cooling (and then shuts off and complains the next time about overclocking having failed)...
Could someone tell me how to lock RAM:FSB ratio to 1:1 on P5W64 WS PRo?
0215 Bios
Thanks :)
:confused: How to lock..........??....?...:confused:Quote:
