Seems to be about the same as on my Intel D975XBX when @3600mhz at 1.376-1.384v vcore load (Badaxe needed 1.371v vcore) but with P5W DH needed to raise MCH volts from 1.55v to 1.65v :)

vCore = 1.425v
fsb = 1.3
vdimm = 2.1v
MCH = 1.65
ICH = AUTO

*snip*

Heh, tbh I rushed it in about 20-30 mins :stick: I'm really surprised it came out so nice :rolleyes:

Impressive chip! I can't get mine stable at anywhere near 3.6 for the life of me. I think after lapping and changing to Scythe Ninja, I've gained about 50mhz so I'm happy with that :)

I'm quite sure the CPU can do 3.2 no problem as I've done Small FFTs overnight.

I've tried 1.65 vMCH with loooooose RAM timings, as well as 1.20 on the SB (I forget the voltage name haha!) as using my thermal probe (index finger :)) the SB was burning hot to touch under my two 7900 GTX's... both with no luck in increasing 400 FSB stability.

Interesting.. we need more ram timings in bios :slapass: yes my SB gets very hot too after lots of full load.

Btw it's vICH (I/o Controller Hub)

i have SB heatsink cover off and 120x25mm 75cfm fan over my video card which blows on SB heatsink as well keeps it at 30-34C SB temps under dual stressprime load @3600mhz at 1.376v on P5W DH :)

eva you have an ES; no fair :D

I have a feeling Intel probably nerf the retail..

All the good chips probably binned for the Xeons :)

Good catch! Eva, why even post this garbage? Who cares about ES chips anyway? None of us can get any, so none of us care. We're trying to see what RETAIL/OEM chips can do.

Not trying to be rude, but ES posts only clutter the already messy pile of screenshots and posts we have to sift through.

And yes I am jealous, but seriously Can you guys stop posting you ES chip results and comparing them to our RETAILs? :)

So start an "ES OC" thread, please.

this thread is related to P5W DH not the cpu :rolleyes:

That's great and all but most ES chips perform quite differently compared to retails/oems. So in ANY discussion, the comparisons can lead to confusion. Get it?

yes but each motherboard of same model/brand can perform differently due to quality of MCH/NB, memory used as well well as the quality of the power supply you use (example http://i4memory.com/showthread.php?p=44980#post44980).

i.e. have a crappy board with max 370fsb limit, and E6600 ES cpu isn't gonna do crap to improve a 370fsb limit or clock better than a retail E6600 on a board with 420fsb limit.

So what you need separate threads for each cpu, motherboard, memory and psu combination as well ?

zoob above in this thread uses a different psu from you so, he should post in another thread too as it's not what you're using ?

Bro, c'mon...give me a break. I'm not the only one who is frustrated by this as you can see in my other thread. At the minimum, let us know CLEARLY that you've got an ES chip.

We are cloggin a good thread with crap, so let's keep this particular issue in the "other" thread.

LOL this is funny.. :rolleyes:

Eva is welcome to post his ES in this thread. He doesn't need to say clearly whether it's ES or not, just look at the CPU-Z for yourself..

Please stop argueing.. after all, this is my thread not yours Brahmzy.

Anyway, here's what I get 24/7. I get to run my rig really silent now and waiting on my Tuniq Tower to make its way over from Germany..

Yesterday mounted the E6600 with my friend . Before that flashed the 0903 BIOS , as my MB came with the 0401 one :)
Replaced the AS5 under the NB passive cooler, so far did not have any problems:)

V Core 1.46 MCH 1.55 V- I think this needs to go to 1.6 V . Mem V 2.0 as it s running below its projected speed anyway. This chip is OEM , not ES , I think a promising one :p:

T around 52C during Prime , might be better with a better , stronger pump /on the way -OASE 910 /.

That's an impressive chip you have. Please post more details :) Also, is your system stable when you try the Blend mode?

The Core Temp readings are hilarious! 85 C (?) ahahaha..:banana:

The ASUS monitoring SW is sometimes way off the tracks:)
Regarding the blend mode : going to test it tomorrow:D

I never run Blend.

I run Small FFTs and Large FFTs seperately. If both are fine then I consider my rig stable.

Anyone have any info regarding the beep codes of the P5W DH?

The manual (Gasp yes i did actually look at it) has listed only 3 different beep codes,

mine beeps once then 8 seconds later it beeps again,

removed Memory it beeps like 3 or 4 times
removed GFX beeps a different pattern of 3 or 4 beeps

put back everything and beeps once but the monitor still doesnt display and i have no way of knowing if it is POSTing or not....

I don't have one of the lil speakers anymore so not heard any beep codes.

Anyway, I read the manual, its a good thing.. more people here need to RTFM!!!

Didnt Asus have that voice beep thingy that tells you what's wrong during boot up? I know they did on the nv board. That's the thing I dont like about Asus sometimes; it's like one step forward but also 2 steps backward.

For people with lots of $$$, here is a nice new review of a 1 KW Enermax power supply :D

Question: Where exactly do i test my actual VCore with my multimeter?

Bios 1201

Anybody heard about it ?

I saw posts from people with their new board and having this one

:confused:

If so thanks to give a link

Using this P5W DH, I seem to be in the same boat as Lawrywild. 356 being the tops that I can hit. A friend of mine has hers wound out the same way. 356 <> anything after that is crash-crash-crash.

Of course CPUZ has the voltage all wrong. To hold that steady I have to use 1.485 or I won't be able to get Prime to hold. Other than that - she's good to go.
