So far it's been a nice board for me too... Highest stable double super pi on my 6300 ES chip has been 440MHz.

My Sandra memory bench on AW9D-Max 8721/8734. Higher mem score than BadAxe at less Mhz.

OK i really like the set up ...... but i need a little help getting stable past 410mhz @ 1:1 .......... and heres what i got
AW9D Max BIOS 1.2
E6600ES on water
2 7900GTX's on water
4 74GB Raptors Raid 0
Corsair XMS 6400
Tagan 900w PSU

when OC'd @ 410mhz i had Vcore @ 1.46v Vdimm @ 2.2v mem @ 5-5-5-15 MCH @ 1.65 ( 1.7v didnt help )

looking for some advice on what voltages to set to acheive a hopeful 440mhz as its my 1st 775 intel set up

i will be getting some GSkill PC2 8000 in a few weeks but figured the corsair should do better than it is

but any help would be great ......... i have disable EIST but it didnt make a difference

Your problem is most like MCH voltage. This board undervolts mch, & overvolts cpu. 2.0v mch measured around 1.89v if I remember correctly. For 412 3DMark06 stable my mch voltage was 1.9v. Your board may be better than mine, but try really upping the mch voltage see if it gets Pi stable @ 420 FSB. Every board seems to be able to do 420 FSB just at different mch. From there lower it about .05 and see if its still stable. 440 took 2.0v mch for me, I didn't get 445 untill I removed heatpipe and put as5 on it.

Sweet so you are faring better with this board now. I have it sitting here in the box and am still playing with the NEW rev p5wdh and p5b. i will put my e6600 in my abit this weekend to see how it fares. Did you mount 40mm fans on the chipsets?

I did put 40mm on the chipsets but just to let you know the asus p5w dh is a far better overall board for a primary gamer. The audiomax sound just doesn't cut it & it doesn't overclock as well as the p5w. I will be posting some results this weekend of benchmarks & Pi scores between the two. The abit board will probably end up on my test bed due to the guru features enabling you to find the potenial of you cpu without having to restart and reset bios as much. Keep in mind my primary reason for saying asus is better is the ability to use you own sound card with dual graphic configurations and it overclocks better straight out the box with no mods. The abit is still a good board, it may just need more timem to mature through bios updates perhaps.

Nemesis . i need to say thank you ...... so far back to back bench stable ( good enuf for me ) i'm sitting at 420mhz OC .... i hadnt gone that high before and it really is a learning curve for me

being on water i had a few 40mm fans from a couple of old MSI boards ( chipset fans ) i mounted to the PWM heatsink/pipe ....... and i have a 120mm fann on the side that feels as though its getting the N/B HS as well as my old 60mm slipstream fan directed at the memory ( cool to the touch )

thanks again ...... i'll put up some scores in the next day or 2 .......... glad i'm able to get more out of the Ram

i have been a bit of an ABIT fan since my IC7-G ...... not much of a gamer and the AW9D sound is perfect for me

The multiple rebbots of the ASUS boards is driving me crazy. I feel like my brand new hard drives will die prematurely from this :mad: .

Do you mean the power down feature or the need to reboot while finding your overclock potenial after setting ups bios? The abit board does the same powerdown thing depending on what what you change in the bios, specifically just about anything under cpu settings. The powerdown thing didn't bother me as much I guess. It doesn't takek me long to find the sweet spot of my cpu. I like a max oc able to run 3dMark & play games which is alot easier to find than the max oc for 1mb super pi.:)

It may have killed both my raptors. I will get an external hd just to test.
