I've got one the first run boards 67.... GOAAY and all this talk is making me want to do something "bad". I'm really tempted to contact ASUS and tell em about some vague problem with data corruption on my SATA drives and a warm reboot issue with my mobo. Think they'll send me a "new" board or just check the board out, say nothing is wrong and give me back the same board?
What do y'all think?:banana: :banana: :banana:
If that works, let me know.. I want to do it :PQuote:

Maybe tomorow i´ll post some Pics.
I´ve killed my P5W.... the fan of the NB was damadged...and then *bzzt*
where to get anm P5W in 20 hours? I´ve got to go on a Lan damn.
I recieved a 1.85 board last week. Its nothing to do with the GOXXX. Its a 68 series you need to look out for.
I've ordered another P5W-DH now, hopefully it'll turn up and be a 68xxx otherwise it'll be going back under the Distance Selling Act. :)
My current P5W-DH seems to crap out at 410 FSB regardless of vMCH, unless I am missing something obvious.
Mine is from www.rlsupplies.co.uk Based in UK
1 left in stock and its the 68MOAG / GOEAY 1.85 mch - Bios 1101 :woot:
Haha do I hedge my bets and order 2 extra boards? lolQuote:

Got a 68MOAG GOEAY which came with BIOS 1101 and 1,85V for vmch its confirmed :)
One important thing: The vcore (cpu) measuring points have changed. Where vcore was measured in previous versions now does not show any voltage...
My question now is: does vcore mode changed also???
Kyosen, can you check it please?
I checked the boards we've got right now, all serial numbers start with 68 - that's the ticket, yes?
Most certainly is :)
Check bios to be sure. Above 1001 I think
- Is over 1.65v 24/7 stable/okay, even with aftermarket air?
- Other than the higher MCH voltage, is there any difference in the new revision? Like, do they clock higher? Less vdroop?
Wow, I wish we had people like you in the UK :) Most of the retailers over here from what I can tell won't bother to give out any kind of information like that, or simply don't know what to look for!Quote:

Almost positive this is the "Year/Week" of manufacture.
I think that's the key if you get a proper board, *NOT* any 67xxxx or 68xxxx or G0*AY crap.
Why I'm asking?
Because I just grabbed a 68M0AG / G0AAY board from Frys, and it has 0628 stamped on the PCB. Bios has 801, but I can't test the board as I have no CPU yet. Last part of the Serial# is lower than any other posted 68M0AG-- 112154
But i'm willing to bet that I will NOT have 1.85v.
eva has 67M0AG but (what date code?). That should tell you guys something...
*edit* eva didn't post that PCB stamp yet, I got it mixed up with another shot
From the few pictures people have posted, everyone with 1.85v has 0630 or 0631, but no data on newer or older.
0631 here
Ok thanks,
06/31 confirmed, need others...
(assume all 06/30's are from the screen shot at an above post),
But any 06/29's or especially 06/28's with 1.85v?
hmm good point. I just checked mine its 0621..old school :(
I might have to come back to Fry's see if those 67MAG does have 0630 stamped on the board. So is that the latest info we got from the 1.85vmch board; atleast 0630 stamped?
I don't know yet. :(
I don't have a CPU to test my 68M0AG/0628 board.
and I need to know what number is on eva's board as he's the only one with a 67M0AG, but his serial# is high for that one.
if its 0628 then maybe im in luck.
Because the other poster above, in Japan said that 6 is the year and 8 is the month, and if he's right, that means that 28th week could be either July or August, and I'm assuming that is the cutoff, but did 0628's make it or not? :( I just wish I had my C2E :(
I think eva's board is a special case. Wasnt it sent from Asus for memory testing purpose? The rest of the people who reported 68MAG does offer 1.85v. I think it's a good chance you have it, unless anyone with 68MAG who doesnt have it can prove me wrong.
I sold my 66 series mobo and ordered a 68 series mobo from Ben at TG's:toast: I couldn't bring myself to contact ASUS with some vague symptoms hoping to get an rma xchg for another (hopefully new revision) mobo. With my luck I would've gotten a repaired 65 series mobo:eek:Quote:

But don't get your hopes up yet, we still need to find out if 0628 boards have the 1.85v option.
So far everyone who has replied has at least an 0630 board, but no replies from anyone saying that 0628 68M0AG or 0629 work or don't work yet...
And I may not have my CPU until late next week :(
Seems to be alot of peope wanting these boards but is it proven yet that these boards are any better at high FSB's?
Well, even if they aren't amazingly better the fact there's an extra 0.2v available for vMCH should make a pretty big difference. All of the big overclocks (450+) I've seen on the P5WDG2-Pro have been when using 1.8v vMCH, and FCG needed to voltmod his vMCH to get 4.6Ghz (10x460) stable at 1.82v.Quote:

1.85v mch versions don't seem to be better than good 1.65v mch versions just helps with maxing out fsb
i.e. my board at 1.65v mch gets to 434-438fsb with 1.75v gains 5-8fsb and 1.85v gains another few fsb to around 449-452fsb so far for 32M and 460-473fsb for 1M...
some good 1.65v mch boards do 450fsb easy so depends
eva2000,
can you please check the date code that is stamped on your board PCB, if you can see it? It should be right next to that Asus logo around the northbridge. (also sent you a pm on that).
Thanks.
all covered up http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=115040 hehe maybe you can see it at http://i4memory.com/reviewimages/mot.../asus/P5WDH/1/ or http://i4memory.com/reviewimages/mot...diicalchipset/
Argh!
Just received my new board and it's even older than the one I had already... code is 66M0AG or something. Not even going to bother trying it, straight back to the retailer. :mad:
Newegg just got it back on sale http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131025
Ok getting a bit desperate here, was hoping to get my new PC up and running this weekend and I just assumed (stupidly?) that since the place I ordered my new P5W-DH from had only just received stock that it would be 68M0AG....
Can someone tell me other than rlsupplies (who don't answer the phone, and don't do Saturday Delivery) where I can get this board in the UK?
Thanks,
Daz
you can try http://www.overclockers.co.uk/ - they seem to have the board in stock, and my experiences with them have been good.
Also http://www.scan.co.uk/ is another UK option.
Eva,
it looks like your board is 0625 (I really can't read the numbers that well in the one photo where it was showing), but surely that can't be right..0625 seems too early for 1.85v .....
Anyone else with 0628 also have 1.85 ?
well mine was a board direct from Asus so probably early one ?
Don't think OCUK will give any kind of specific product information out, they've never done it with CPU steppings so no reason to assume they would with motherboards.Quote:

-pickles
Ok, after the P5WDG2-WS-Pro fiasco of yesterday, I picked up a P5W DH Delux this morning, from i-Store in Springvale Rd, Nunawading (Melbourne)
Bios will allow MCH to go up to 1.85Vmch, and codes on the box are 68MOAG**, part no 90-MBB2X0-G0UAY.
Bios came out of box supporting Conroe, so hope this helps someone.
I am hoping to get a replacement for my P5WDG2-WS-Pro that came DOA, and will see which board is more suitable to my E6400, and which likes the E6600 better.
Will keep you guys posted. For now it seems my E6600 max out around 3.65gig on water, so obviously not a good sample.
Will tick over very nicelt at 3.40gig, and 1.425Vcore, mem setting at 667strap, so would go well as a racing sim rig.
congrats MrBean :)
Just one question..is that Jet Li with a wig on in your sig?Quote:

congrats MrBean
Running the 6600 now, and giving her around 1.425Vcore to keep stability at 3.40gig.
This cpu should make for a very nice compliment to my gaming rig, especially sim racing, and I think a single 7950GX2 should drive the 30" ACD quite well at 2560x1600 in GTR2.
This is by far the easiest and most stable Conroe board I played with, I have a S3 and Infinity too. The S3 can get 483 on FSB from Bios, which ain't to shabby, but it's a constant struggle to get it to run proper.
I will prolly get the new Ws-Pro from Rex (PcManiacs) early next week, and wil do some comparos between the P5W and the WS-Pro.
Will keep you guys posted.
Good job, Mrbean.
Can you also check the date code (Right by the Asus logo) that is stamped on the PCB? Should be around 0630, 0631, etc....
Hey Falkentyne,
Date code is 0631
;)

Good, early model already updated a little, but it seems ser no must start with 68......so is there any earlier than week 28 that will have 68 code?Quote:
68M0AG
Would help the guys out there to know...
Hi Falkentyne
The boards that i received that both came with bios 1011 and 1,85v were both 68MOAG / GOEAY and 0628 on the pcb.
Am I correct that you cannot change the multi on this asus board - i cannot get it to change my x6800 multi from 11.
Well mine is week 28 (0628), 68M0AG, but it has 801 bios...and my CPU won't be shipping until the 14th... so can't test... :slapass:
Still sounds like good news though, hopefully all 0628 will have 1.85v...
I think you need to disable some option in the BIOS.Quote:

My daily visits to my local Fry's paid off. Sent the salesman went to the back again and they had a whole pallet of 068 board's. Cost me $324 but I'll just sell my current one:D
@ The Nemesis: Mmm..impulsive like me :)
Let us know how that one perform, what's the codes on the box, and date-code on motherboard?
Even though I've got a 68 series on order from TG's, I couldn't resist visiting my local Fry's in Palo Alto, CA. Low and behold they had about 20 or so mobos. A couple of the ones on the lower shelves were 67 series, but the rest were 68 series GOAAY's. I ended up picking up one, opened it up in the parking lot and found bios 801; manuf code 0628. Hopefully, it'll be a keeper. :banana:
Good going, let us know how the board is doing :) so it seems 0628 is the earliest with new 1.85mch bios.
Should help someone out there....
My board has the 801 bios stamped on it & 0628 date code as well. And just to give you guys a tease the old board was definitely holding back my week 28. This is on air so I'm not going to go much further.
Ouch! That is great on air.....
Dammit, send me your address so I can come "borrow" that chip :)
What's real and Bios voltages?
Board has 1101 bios installed, even though the chip said 801. 1.65v set in bios read 1.61 on asus probe. Gonna try and see if the week 27 will boot higher tomorrow.Quote:

Thanx for the feedback
E6600 week 28???
Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see your temps? I can probably go that high on my week 27, but I don't dare try voltages that high with my air cooling setup.Quote:

Installing the watercooling today as I watch football but I don't expect it to be more stable or do much more than get into windows @ 4 ghz.Quote:

yea that's what i boot at now 435 and 1:1 :)
I manage to get 4ghz SP1 ~12.6 sec but about to take a shot damn thing froze up! lol..
Hi, can someone host the 1401 bios??
I am having issues trying to download from the link provided in these forums...
Any help in getting the P5W DH 1401 bios would be really appreciated...
Spoke to Scan today, they have the old revision... although I'm not entirely sure whether the sales/tech guy thought I meant that the board had the older BIOS chip which you had to send off, or was actually the new board. There have been 66M0AG and 67M0AG boards with Conroe capable BIOS so it's still a bit of a crapshoot.Quote:

The board does 400 fsb easy so far all at stock except for vcore.
67M0AG w/bios 0701 - Confirmes NOT to have 1.85 option in bios.
68M0AG w/bios 1101 - Confirmed to HAVE 1.85 option in bios.
The last mobo easily reached +400 FSB - everything at stock. :clap:
The first mobo didn't reach 360 (everything at stock).:nono:
Hunted for 'hotspots' on the mobo yesterday - Southbridge and the little
'EZ-backup'-chip (in the far southeast corner) seems to be areas that genrerates high temperatures.
Regards, r.-
I just got off the phone with ASUS they say this board DOES not have any new revisions yet. How are you guys getting 1.85 for your MCH ... im getting so frustrated.
It info you seek is in this thread, pay special attention to post #115 as it may be a place to get this board with 1.85 mch.Quote:
