This bios didn't do anything for me. Why oh why can they not get AiBooster to read correctly, it hasn't been right since the 0801 bios!!! Yes, I'm using the newest version if AiBooster.

Dang, I wish this would've been the BIOS that would've magically trasformed my week 23 B2 E6600. :(

I've come to grips with the fact that no different mobo/BIOS can help this chip out any more than another. I just need to pony up and buy about 10 E6600's so I can cherry pick one or two of 'em.

Who tells me that the SPD of that RAM is not set to 4-4-4-12?

You should know that there is Proggie called Thaiphoon Burner 3 that can flash SPDs to the Timings u need, so that can ALWAYS set BY SPD. I will never ever test a nonOfficial BIOS - my DFI is RMAing...but still i wish u luck boys.

Build date of this bios is 8/28/06, so it's super fresh. I flashed it but haven't tried any different settings than what I previously had. Just wanted to see mainly if it would improve my annoying POST hang issue. So far so good, but the hang is very sporadic.

I see this bios is on the asus ftp now.

I have been using it for a few days without any issues.
With this bios I can get at boot with 4:5 at 400fsb other bioses I have tried would not boot when I tried that.

I still cant get windows to be stable with 4:5 at 400fsb thou.

Where are you seeing 1305? I'm seeing 1201 as the latest?!?!

Friggin' ASUS. I want this new BIOS.

Does this mean 1305 is not BETA anymore?

Hmm..it was there a hour ago :confused:
Sometimes it shows up when I go to above link sometimes not, no idea why.

Thanks for posting the link...got it.

So, if you did indeed see on ASUS' site, it should be out of BETA stage, correct?

I never saw it on the asus web site only on their ftp server but then again I never looked for it on the asus web site.
I guess it means its at least an offical public asus beta bios.

Ok I looked on asus web site->support and it does show up under the bios listing for this board.

Version 1305 2006/08/31 update

Description P5W DH Deluxe BIOS 1305
Update JMicron OptionRom to V1.06.56a
File Size 677.94 (KBytes)

Dosent say anything about it being beta so I guess its offical now.

Use memset to change tRD from 6 to 7, also change tRFC from 35 to 39 and you should be ORTHOS large FFT torture stable :cord:

Works for me using 801 bios with ram running 4:5 @ 500MHz :fact:

It's quite a common issue, maybe ram, maybe mobo.. don't really know..

Yeah i have this too. It's a right PITA, eh.

What RAM do you own? So you're saying this BIOS doesn't help, right? What a jip. How can they upgrade their cheaper P5B with fancy new stuff, and not this. It's a goddamn crime.

ram in sig, not extreme adata stuff, the value stuff.

I agree 100%, they price gauged us then don't even provide us with a satisfactory bios

I`m thinking to sell my P5W and go for a P5B...just take a look...P5W was first C2D supported MOBO from ASUS and they have put out a lot of BIOS...but P5B came out later and they have solved a lot of problems and even added a few things that the "high-end" P5W don`t have!...Multi in BIOS, ram dividers fixed...what can I say....doooooooooooh........grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Regards,
Primoz

p.s. In 1305 just one think looks it is fixed...random reboots...I have many of them with 1301 BIOS...about 3 a day...with 1305 not a single reboot in 2 days! So keep going ASUS in about 2 or 3 years we maybe will have multis in BIOS with this speed!

I'm actually getting those in 1201 as well. Guess i'll give 1305 a try just to solve that. That said, i'm not too happy flashing my BIOS on a system that likes to reboot randomly.

Doesn't that involve floppy drives? Or can i use a USB stick?

I've always used the bios EZ flash utility without any problems at all. You could also use a bootable USB stick with afudos.

usb stick is fine aslong as it's made properly into an ms-dos startup disc.

Load setup defaults in bios, boot to usb stick (with afudos.exe and bios.rom on the memory), type Afudos /ibios.rom /pbnc /n, shutdown, clear cmos, startup, load setup defaults then overclock like usual.

^^ This is how bios should always be flashed..

Why? Take a couple more minutes more to flash bios properly and the bootblock.
