Did anyone on this forum fix the "unwanted restart" problem? I won't go into details, did that allready a few weeks ago.
Latest thing Asus told me to do: update the BIOS to version 1902. I did that and the pc still will not stay shut down.
So if anyone managed to get rid of this bug I would like to hear from you!
Thanks,
Johanna
Max bootable setting for my mobo with the X6800 is around 380-395MHz [ even with 1.7Vcore @ BIOS ] { haven't tried with more Vcore }Quote:

With the E6600 my mobo boots fine at 400MHz FSB.
Max bootable fsb for this mobo with the E6600 is 420MHz.
...weirdness :D
I see!So it's problem with high multipliers.Too bad..i don't think they'll fix it!
They didn't even bother fixing the locked multipliers with Extreme Edition CPUs ( including X6800/QX6700 ) with any BIOS over 1601, why would they get their hands dirty with this issue ? :PQuote:

The only advantage of using a newer bios than 1601 is for the "memory remapping" feature, which helps for when you've got more than 3gb's of ram installed.
Or does 1601 also have this feature? IDK.
BTW, has anyone notices higher cpu temperatures using the new 1901 + bioses?
Well, the memory remap feature is included in BIOS v1601 :)Quote:

I updated the Pioneer firmware from 1-23 to the latest 1-29 version. This helped in reducing the number of bad sections from about 14 to only 2. Interesting that when I reburned the same project immediately after the prevous burn there were still 2 bad sections, but in different locations though. Is there something else I can do to get complete good burns?
My external sata conection does not appear to be functional. The sata port Raid 1 (upper left on mb next to rear panel connectors) works fine. Both are on the JMicron controller and it is enabled and set to Basic in the bios. Should not both be working with this setting? Is there something else I have to do.
Please help me on these items. So much to learn and not all explained easily in the manual.
Thank you guys for the other helpyou have already provided.
So there a whole bunch of P5W DH users and I would like to know if it's worth buying that card or if I can go with a P5B Deluxe? :stick:
I'm really impressed by the perfs of the two :slobber:
EDIT: I'm hesitating between de P5W and P5B because I've been told that the FSB of the P5B is higher than the P5W
Yes, if you damage the northbrigde with too much vmch and/or not enough cooling, every board will die.Quote:

Intel specifies vmch max 1.575V and we all use more :D
The wise do it with lots of good cooling.
(btw, same effect on 965)
problem.. with this Antec 500 supply in the bios it says the 12 volt rail is a little over 12 volts but after finishing booting looking at sandra, mbm & Everest they all say the voltage is 9.18 sometimes drops to 9.02 that seems almost impossible since im running this E6600 duo cpu at 3.4ghz 1:1 . stable completelty running for a week now.
So i tried figuring it out intelligently. What would create such a load after booting into winboze pro that it would drop the voltage 3 volts - bingo i thought USB so i unplugged everything from my my computer nothing plugged in still the bios said 12volts = 12 volts but in winbloze all utils i ran states 9.18 volts. what the hey? And the thing is solid asa rock at 3.4ghz its a 2.4 ghz cpu temp 41 C according to mbm with 2 update.. i even unplugged the internal floppy
Any ideas? this doesnt make sense. of course this may not be a power supply problem but if the system was being loaded down to the point the voltage drops that much then there would be something sucking more current then the supply can handle (ohms law )
i'm a loss 4 words other then trying another supply damn thats a lot of work 4 someone dan near blind and physically messed up..
System: mobo Asus P5W dh dlx,
1 - Core Duo 2.4 ghz E6600 (currently running at 3.4 ghz rock solid)
2 gigs ram
2- 500 gig segate Drives SATAII on a Sil EZ_backup mobo ports
2 - 36 Gig SATA 1 Raptors on INCH7R - Raid0 Array
2 - DVD Writers on the pcie Sil card
1- DVD Writer plextor 760A IDE
1 - Sil pcie SATA II Card (2 internal sata ports used 4 the above SATA DVD writers)
2 - 4 port usb self powered hubs, web cam logitec fusion, 2 - 150 DVD/CD carosels (self powered) USB 2.0
---
guess ill now run a benchmark and see where ts at with this supposedly 9.18 volts on the 12 volt line
Suggestions anyone? i know there some og's out there like myself... or young hot shots arent they?
Any info is appreciated...
gone 2 research.. Thank u
Ooh well. Does anyone know if the 680i chipsets hold up better?Quote:

Maybe its just a bug
Hey RTShaw test your 12V. with a multimeter. It would almost be obvious to the naked eye if things fell that far fans that used to whine would be real quiet. Still the MM is the only way to know exactly how much juice your psu is putting out. Software can be just too buggy. I see a lot of you who have lost stability at or around 400fsb I see that alot of you state that you are running around 1.375 to 1.435 on the cpu voltage. Have any of you tried turning up the voltage. I run 24/7 A 1.65 in bios and have since last October with my 6600.

Due to the design of my liquid cooler my case is pumped full of good cooling air that wicks the heat right away from my components. My Northbridge and Southbridge are cold to the touch. The heatspreaders on my G.skill memory are cold to the touch. I don't mean luke warm, I mean cold.
So for many of you that can you are just going to have to turn up the VOLTS.
Watch the temps and quit torturing your equipment for days with Orthos!!
How ridiculous. And don't run it for hours on full load with Intel's TAT. Mine runs 24/7 folding on one processor and I reboot it everyday when I walk in the door from work as I do all my systems unless they are in the middle of a rendering project. I use the other core for gaming and video processing. And I always have tunes playing in the background. My system has never become unstable while doing anything except once. I put on the 18XX bios and thought it might be curtains for my system So I used EZ flash and went back to 1707 and I am staying there til the Heavens open and tell me why I should move forward.

Anyone running 4GB ram with Vista 32bit?
How much ram can Vista see on this board? Does PAE work and enable all 4GB?
4x1 gb .
Only 64bit system see 4 & more memory
with the PAE flag added to boot.ini, it enables "36bit" memory addressing, which is enough to see the whole 4gb's. ;)Quote:

well you look at what FSB speed you have (i.e. 400), we'll call this sFSB
double that value, so it will become 2xsFSB (i.e. 800)
look for "DDR-2xsFSB" (i.e. DDR-800) on the option in bios under FSB speed.
Found what was causing Pioneer DVD not working properly. Bad cable, even though it was brand new. Replaced cable and all working fine now.
Still have not found solution for sata question: My external sata conection does not appear to be functional. The sata port Raid 1 (upper left on mb next to rear panel connectors) works fine. Sata port Raid 1 shows drive in Explorer, but nothing shows up for the rear outlet esata port. Both are on the JMicron controller and it is enabled and set to Basic in the bios. Should not both be working with this setting? Is there something else I have to do.
Also, how do you remove the sata drive as hot swap. A USB shows an icon in the tray and when you click on it it asks which USB item you want to close. I don't see anything anywhere for closing down a sata drive. Do you do tis through Device Manager and use the disable function? Not the uninstall, right?
Any help please. Thank you.
Anyone tried BIOS 2001?
http://mapesh-online.de/P5W-DH-2001.zip
You've recently changed your recommended BIOS 1901 into version 1602.
Please explain why.
Read back a few pages. :slapass:Quote:
