What a nightmare, but thanks for the head's up. So basically to overcome this I would need to possibly choose the higher spec/priced 8000's in either the geil or corsair?
Will have to do a bit more reading up around the web.
Thanks again.

Just to clear things up will this board boot at 360+ FSB with Geil RAM at 400Mhz and timings set by SPD to 5-5-5-15?
If so would you be then able to tighten the timings using memset?
Sorry if this is a noob question:slapass: , I am just trying to straighten out all the information posted so far.
Thanks.
I have changed nothing in the subsystem. When I first started running this 6400HZ I ran it at 4-4-4-8 everywhere. I thought it was great to be able to run those timings at any fsb I could boot at. Then one morning I tried 3-4-4-8 and it booted just fine then it was 3-4-3-6,then it was 3-3-3-6 I now run this setting everywhere for the last few weeks and now this mem does not like 4-4-4.... at all anymore. Which is fine by me. I just thought it was a bit odd. when I go above 425 fsb I run my volts at 2.4 to run at any mem speed.
My board hits an absolute wall at 426,no matter what it will not boot there. Jump over 426 and it will boot up into the low 430's. I am happy with this but, Asus is hopefully not done yet with their updates there are still issues to be fixed here.. I run my mem on the turbo setting also if that helps anyone.
It is definetly a love hate relationship with these boards.

i sold the geil you have in your sig
Would have to do the maths. Have to explain I'm a bit of novice myself. I had mine on the P5W up to 900mhz(450*2) on a ratio (Can't remember the exact one) 5-5-5-15. As I say it did need 2.2v though for anything. Maybe my board was undervolting.Quote:

It would run 1:1 720mhz (360*2) 2.2v 4-4-4-12. Basically the memory would do pretty much what it should do, but not on a 1:1 ie. couldn't get fsb anyway near 400 anyway.
It's as nanoprobe32 explained.
By the way cheers again nanoprobe32. Would of been sick as a pig if I went out and bought those dominator 6400s. They're 200 pound here. Will try and get my hands on some HZ's.

Hi Nano
Damn I just bought this mobo but haven't used it yet. :(
So if I set the FSB to say 400MHz to get (266Mhz + 134Mhz) x 9 = 3.6Ghz with an E6600
(unknown Vcore - probably too high for 24/7 :D )
I would run my RAM at 4:5 i.e. (333Mhz + 134Mhz) x 2 = 934Mhz
with auto timings of 5-5-5-15 and with manual Vdimm of 2.1 volts?
Thanks.
As said you can't get your fsb that high(400), with the geil 6400s installed in the P5W board. I had a similar setup with my xeon 3060. The best oc for the cpu was about 3.2 ghz with this ram/mb combo. ie. :banana::banana::banana::banana:e.

Same everything - just a RAM swap.
I've got Geil 2.1V 4-4-4-12 RAM in my motherboard and it posted fine with 400 fsb bus using manual timings, however it wasn't stable running prime 95 on both cores though at this speed (but I blame the CPU).
Currently I'm running a stable clock at only 360 MHz 1:1 bus because of temperature concerns.
I lapped my E6600 but it didn't seem to help me at all.
Currently my room temp is nearly 30C (and rising, it's only 8am here :( ) and CoreTemp reports 53C on both cores at idle at this time while SpeedFan reports CPU=36C and System=44C.
The vCore is set to 1.37V and needs to be there to be prime 95 stable at this speed.
I've got a revision A E6600 processor though... So I'm guessing this is normal and there's nothing I can do about it.
Some details are:
Arctic Freezer 7 pro cooler with Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste.
ASUS P5W DH Deluxe MB with Arctic Silver 5 on northbridge and southbridge and stupid shiny covers removed from chipset heatsinks.
Crossfire setup with 2 x X1950XTX cards (serious heaters).
Antec P180B case, fans on low speed, extra 120mm fan hung on the back of the empty hard-drive cage in the top section of the case to direct air towards the graphics cards.
And I've been noticeing a good number of P5W owners trying the XMS6400 (C5) are having problems, While w/OCZ I haven't personally seen anything bad. :DQuote:

I'm wondering just one thing about the P5 series with the 975X North bridge from Asus: would mounting the motherboard in a BTX style (upside down) hurt anything related to the chipset? I mean, the north bridge is cooled via passively with a heat pipe and fins but I remember reading about how--because of the heatpipe design--inverting them prevents proper cooling.
So, does anyone have good chipset temps on an inverted (BTX style) P5?
Ive Twin2x1024-6400C4, and i have some problems with fsb 400mhz(errors in memtest test 7), it only happens when rams are in dual channelQuote:

I've manage to overclock my cpu to 400fsb which gives me 3.6 GHz. What do I need to do to overclock my RAM? What settings should I use to get 1:1 or 4:5?
Spec in sig. Thanks!
1:1 would be the DDR2-800MHZ setting
4:5 would be the DDR2-1000MHZ setting
:)
Would my memory need extra voltage to run at 800MHz? I'm assuming that because its DDR2-800, it's designed to run at 800MHz? I'm new to this so I may be completely off!
look at the ram packaging and see what voltage it's rated to run at
RAM packaging?? lol, thats long gone! I'll check the OCZ website to see if I can find anything. Thanks.
It's rated for 2.1v. 2.2v is okay under warranty.
What would it be running at if it's on auto? 1.8v?
Are you pressing the DEL key after the USB had initialized? I use a USB keyboard and it works fine, but I have to wait for the USB controllers to init. I'll see the message "Entering BIOS setup..." and then after the drive detection (including Jmicron) the BIOS setup loads.Quote:

So come on Asus finish this board!!! So it will go down as a great board and not a great disappointment. Even tho' I will tell you I for one am happy overall with my setup..

Guys....something strange here: I found a way to get into hardware monitoring...
If you disable USB legacy support...it gets in hardware monitoring just fine...doesnt hang.
I always found it would let me in 2nd time after a reconfiguration of settings...

time for a new BIOS i say again:

My main goal was 450 guess Im only dreaming.
If I try to boot at higher freq's it loads BIOS OK but fails to get in to windows.
Is that a type for 1603 or has bios 1703 been released? Google doesn't say anything at first glance.Quote:

There is a 170X bios but it not avail to pub yet. New PC probe still has CPU-Z cpu temp 255'c alarm bug. New AI Booster displays everything correctly now, so I guess I 'll be using it for now.
Does it bring any great benefits to the table?
It's exactly the same as 1602 as far as I can tell (no tRFC :( )Quote:

I've been waiting weeks now for Asus to release a BIOS update that can sort this out.
is there anyway to overclock using asus booster without restarting?
and also.. i cant seem to get any kind of overclocking program to work,clock gen or setfsb. They appear to be working but im sure they are not. after bringing up fsb on any of these to programs i have no increase in porformance using softsandra as a benching tool. even if i change fsb from 300 to 380 i have no increase at all in bandwidth or no increase in cpu speed cpuz is reporting the fsb change and so is asus booster. but if i bring up fsb to far comp will crash. that tells me that clockgen is working? makes no sence to me at all. I need to be able to generate clock in windows this will solve my only problem i have with this mb.

I just came over from the AMD DualCore 4800.
It was time for a change.
My new Rig is in my Sig.
My Team eXtreme 6400 at 4,4,4,12 is running orthos sable 22hours.
This is my First Intel ever and I am so Impressed with.
My only real Problem was OCZ520 Psu. Not enough Amps to run my equipment. Lots of Reboots. Upgraded to a OCZ 700 Gamer. Problems solve.
I am currently run at 3400Mhz. Absoutley Stable, I think I made the right choice with the Ram,CPU, and ASUS P5B Deluxe. I am currently using the 711 bios with no Hiccups, except for 1x vid problem, which I fixed by, when the bios did the Texas 2 Step, I would immediately enter the bios and resave, F10 agian all was good.
My question is should I stick with this older bios (711) or try a new one. I alway thought, if it aint broken to Fuol with it. ANy Advice would be greatly apprecitated.
I did read all 95 pages, but I am sure I have some questions to ask.
My ASUS P5B Deluxe ATX LGA775, is now modded with new heatsinks for the North and Southbridge. So warranty is out the window.
What do you guys and girls think, try a new bios, dump the 711?
I have more questions but it is getting late. Thanks for any input.
THe board booted no problems to 410Hz, with 1/1 ram ratio. Tired now starting to ramble cya all Tommorrow.
Logger: First Post
I dunno if this problem is exclusive to me,but just recently when running high fsb 1/1 around 450+,i lose vcore control.I set say 1.6v or 1.65v,hit f10 and no post,hard reset back to bios,vcore is still set to 1.6/1.65v but vcore monitoring says 1.32v (default),so i verify with multimeter and the monitoring is correct.I can set any vcore i like and it's always default.It hasn't always done this,i used to boot ok at 455+,now i have lower fsb to around 400/410 before the vcore will stick.I tried set vcore to 1.325v and cranking up the trimmer,but i never got anywhere near the vcore i needed before some kind of ovp kicked in.Tried bios flash,no change,back to 1503 now.So it's clockgen for 1/1 action now.Don't bother trying to figure it out,i couldn't care less,i'm posting this as a consideration for anyone else have trouble booting very high fsb's.
Well, I have joined the the ranks of people that can't do anything above 400FSB (set in BIOS), this happended after I was playing around with different types of RAM so that's where the problem lyes. So no matter what divider and timings I use for the ram I'm not able to do over 400FSB.
Yeah Pun, its definatly memory related. It seems that G Skill modules do not have this problem. They must set a more relaxed tRFC latency.

It's happening with many TV-cards, the GeForce 8800GTX and 7950GX2, wi-fi cards and Creative X-Fi. It seems that it can happen to just about any other card as well.
This is just one thread about this in the Asus forums, but there are many others if you look.

So the question is: What brand/model of memory works with this mobo at 1/1 beyond 400 mhz.??
Also I re-read all the thread and I found several people that had troubles when they set their fsb to 415, I tried that, and boom, no boot, but 414 boot ok, and 416 boot ok..
Anyone knows something about that?
lol, it won't post because your settings won't post, not because you're not getting the right vcore.Quote:

When you press F1 it takes you to the bios where all your settings (1.65v) are still there. Doesn't mean that the board is using 1.65v on stock 2.4ghz (I'm using an e6600 as the example here)
If you really want to see what I'm talking about use a digital multimeter and read the vcore when you try to post with 1.65v. Even if you don't POST the digital multimeter will read 1.6v (vdroop) then you turn off, and back on. The board posts and digital multimeter will show 1.3v or whatever is stock volts minus the vdroop.
Hi, well Jason404, as my P5WDH works fine with Vista I'd contradict what you are stating. This motherboard is Vista ready is a correct statement, perhaps if they were to state vista compatible, or maybe this motherboard will run vista with everything you plug into it, would not.
Just because some combinations, or single cards, have compatablilty issues with vista and this motherboard does not make it unable to run vista, neither does it also actually mean that it is Asus's problem alone....
ChrisC
cuke2u, as you are shoudl be aware, being a poster in the Asus forum, a lot of people are having these problems. And as a regular on the Vista and hardware newsgroups I can see that these problems are specfic to this motherboard.
If anything is ever going to resolve these problems, it will be a BIOS update from Asus.
Corsair, but just barely.Quote:

I'm not defending Asus I'm just not about to jump onto, oh this doesn't work with this mothboard, but it does with these so it must be Asus's fault. Incompatibilties happen, sometimes they can't be avoided, I remember exactly the same with XP and TV tuners...
ChrisC
Not that I've been reading into what the specific problems are with the P5W and Vista (or the RC1 version at least) but I've had no motherboard specific issues. Only problems I've had are with sound card drivers but I believe that is more to Vista being more demanding of its digitally signed drivers these days than anything else.Quote:

I have problems with this mobo and a Kentsfield processor. I can’t reach more than 3Ghz frequency. I tried everything, following what it’s written in the first post of this discussion. I disabled Hyperpath 3, changed PSU units(Tagan 530W), changed memory modules (I have DB9) but nothing to do. I also tried the mobo with an E6600 and I can reach 3,6Ghz stable (12h+ Orthos blend).
I have noticed that my Kentsfield is supported only in BIOS from 1101 to 1407. The mobo gives me cpu uCode error with 1506 a 1601 (beta) and 1602 (last official) BIOS. My CPU is step 5 rev B1.
In your opinion is it possible that at 1,55v the CPU can’t rise more than 3,1Ghz (with a “supporting” BIOS, I am using 1407)? I tried to change multiplier, I tried from 8x to 11x, but there is nothing to do. Do I have a low performing CPU or I just have to change motherboard?

Then you wasted your money buying something for software that isn't out for two months yet.
As I said b4, I'm sure that that it will be fixed but it just that so few seem to be getting their knickers in twist about a 'yet to be officially supported' OS...

i see all these nice overclocks and i wonder to myself what i'm doing wrong...i'm gonna try that systool too and see if i get any luck with this board too
I use 1.6 and get 3.20 rsQuote:

I am asking because I expected more good overclocking performances from this CPU, and because I am seriously thinking about chancing motherboard.
Rattle-
Interesting similarity between our rigs and overclocks. :)
I have a week 30 e6600 as well along with the same RAM and my results on air are as yours.
Except I have a 750 watt power supply and yours is a 160 watt! :bows:
:eek: sparx
OT- I am not getting my email alerts for posts here, How might I fix this? :dammit:
.....and where does one select this about?Quote:
SysTool, you have to select ICS954123
I see nothing in drop down list or am I missing summit lol? :confused:

What bios are u guys using now? im using 1602. I s this the best one or should i go back to another?
This might be a problem with the board so I thought I would ask for any advice anyone could offer troubleshooting this problem.
Here are the components:
Conroe e6600
Asus P5W DH Deluxe BIOS was 1305, now 1602.
2x1GB GSkill PC6400 5-5-5-15
2x250GB WD 250GB SATAII
16x NEC DVD-RW
Antec Truepower 550W (Thermaltake Toughpower 650W on the way)
ATI X1900XT
To start with I couldn't get Windows to install to one of the drives. I would get BSODs and errors during install. Ran Memtest86 for a few mins without errors. Updated BIOS and then was able to install Windows. Tried to install onto a RAID 0 array using Intel built in controller but again got BSODs. Downloaded latest RAID drivers from Intel and was able to install to the RAID array without issue.
Since I got XP installed OK, I downloaded the latest Windows updates and drivers. Then I OCed the CPU to 3GHz at stock voltages. Came up like a champ. Ran 3dMark06 and it went fine (got a 6559).
Decided to run dual instances of Prime95 overnight to test the system. Watched it for a while and temps got up to 37C and that's it (cold in the basement).
In the morning the desktop was blank like the system had rebooted itself. As soon as I moved the mouse it BSODed and rebooted. Now it BSODs when I try to get into Windows, even at stock speeds on the CPU and RAM.
Ran a Memtest again and immediately got errors at 1220MB and 200MB (would seem to indicate both sticks bad).
I'm going to put in a new PSU tonight and test it again. If I still have problems it seems either the motherboard or RAM is causing the problems. I don't have another DDR2 board or I'd move the RAM there and Memtest it on that board.
Any other troubleshooting tips I can try while I'm working on it?
Thanks.
I have a similar problem.
Today i built a new rig containing:
E6600
P5WDHDLX
2gb Xtreem 1ghz 5 5 5 15
8800GTX
Windows installed fine but BSOD's during first boot.
Blue bar goes by couple times then BAM, bsod and instant reboot.
Ive disabled almost everything in bios. i also updated to newest bios with usb flash thingie.
All stuff is brand new. What can it be?
/K
Your graphics card needs a very powerful PSU... Which PSU are you using?Quote:

am i missing something?
It doesnt do it with a horrible celeron that i have laying around..
Its all at stock speeds.

pr2dh deluxe
gskill 1gb 4-4-4-12 ddr800
fps fortron epsilon 600w
x1900xt
Thanx guys!
PS:Im having a lot of trouble with this board... :/
can someone pls share 1703 Bios
thx
regards
have you tryied to raise mch? Anyway I was able to lower vcore but still running orthos to verify. The temp are not bad with the vcore higher processors at 45c(Idle) 52c(stressed) and mobo at 36c degree. Later I will post my settings.Quote:

I'm troubleshooting that issue, I think it came from a botched windows install. Or high northrbridge temperatures.Quote:

This is after it got used with a less than stellar PSU. I may have to RMA both damn boards now, if newegg'll even let me.
