okay :)
Sorry to jump in random here but I don't have the box and can't for the life of me find the serial number on the board. Is it on the board? Where can I find it?
ok, managed to get the board to have a more stable overclock now,
1.35v [default] now stays with in 1.33v under load with the QX6700 at 3.30 ghz [11x300]
also have speedstep etc working so it idles at 1.8ghz at about 1.1v which is great for my case temps
as i dont really have all 4 cores under load all the time.
Also got all 4 ram slots working at 1000mhz [pc5300] 12.4.4.4 which is great!
waiting for water-cooling now to overclock the chip more and GFX card
more :D
Bios version is 2205.
Yes, right where it says P5W DH Deluxe you will see a small number like Rev1.03G or so. Right above/next the RAM DIMM closest to the CPU.Quote:

Just flashed to the default 2004 now lawrywild, waiting for your definite report on the stability of your modded one and I'm flashing away :)
Seems all good to me, no problems thus far. :)
Alrighty then, wish me luck :D
Edit, flash succesful and everything seems to be working fine so far,

Yes, it's 1.02g but I'm looking for the SERIAL number to do an RMA. Should be something like 67MOAG... or whatever. I don't see it anywhere in that area, or are we talking two different things?Quote:

There should be SOMEONE on the forums using a P5W with a G0 :(
drjay2003,
P5WDH Serial Number: (two different boards, purchased 4months apart)
- side-panel of box
- underside of motherboard

FYI:
2206 showing CPU patch codes and dates:
I put in all the ones in 2205/6

EDIT:
And here we see P5WDH Supports 45nm already :)

Here's the bios if anyone wants it:
P5W-DH-ASUS-Deluxe-2004-G0-45nm-Edition [BETA] Use at own risk!
I'm running Vista 64 Bit..
Asus update does not want to install on 64bit I guess.
I just took out my e660 and installed my Q6600 GO stepping..
Now on boot I get the message "INTEl cpu ucode loading error.
f1 To continue..
How do I flash the bios on Vista 64bit..
Currently using 2004 bios
Board rev. 1.02G
Hi, use a usb flash drive. Put the bios file on the usb drive and in bios, go to ez-flash 2 and use that.Quote:

PS: Oh yeah and give us results with that G0 on this board please mate! :D Lots of us are waiting for Q6600 G0's to plug in here :)
got lawrys modded bios and everythings a ok on my older revision p5w-dh board using a b3 e6600
Awesome :)
Now I just need someone with a G0 core to try it.
Thanks..Quote:

Can I have other stuff on my usb key aswell or just the bios?
If I use your bios is there any chance something could go wrong?
well done lawry for this thread i check it everyday, for all its faults i still think the p5w is the best all round motherboard i have had, i also found the 2103 a good stable bios but everyone seems top favour the 2004 so with your modded bios its the best of both worlds i suppose
That's correct and you can have other stuff on the drive no problem.Quote:

I don't see why anything could go wrong, there's just updated microcodes and a modified string (you'll see it on the POST screen :cool: ). You have crashfree bios 3 available to you if it really did get screwed. If anything did go wrong though, most likely, you'd be able to atleast get into the bios to flash back to another bios. :)
I completely understand if you don't want to try it though.
Hi all.
First post here. But it's taken me ages to read through all the posts relevant to me.
I only had my first PC 4 years ago and everything I know, which probably isn't much compared to you guys, I taught myself - mainly through google!
So, a couple of weeks ago, I built my very first PC:
ASUS P5W DH MoBo
Intel C2D E6600 2.40GHz Conroe
2x1Gb Corsair XMS2 PC6400 RAM
ASUS EAX1950 Pro 256Mb Graphics Card
Quite a modest setup really, but to my surprise, the thing actually worked when I switched it on!
I've become very adventurous over the past few weeks and now the MoBo is in pieces awaiting some arctic silver 5 and a better CPU Cooler.
So, a big thank you to Lawry for starting this thread, to FreeCableGuy for his detailed guide on how to detach, clean and re-attach the NB and SB and to everyone else for their invaluable hints 'n tips.
Cheers
J
Ok I just tried 2005 bios using ez flash and no problem..Quote:
