If you have ECC ram , the option is available.

Yes you can. The option is called Asus E-Z Flash within the tools menu in the Bios.

Yep, exact same problem here. My fsb in bios is 267 and AI Booster shows differently.

Thanks for the confirmation of this problem Icer. I did notice that in the Bios under the profile manager it said something about NTFS not being supported! Don't know if this is somehow related.

NTFS not supported? Don't most people use that anymore since XP came out?

Seems like an oversight to me.

Does anyone know how to force AFUDOS to flash to an older Bios? I've tried the /n and the /pbnc switches but AFUDOS won't let me revert back to Bios 0701! I've used the following syntax: afudos /iP5WDH701.ROM /n /pbnc
Of course, I typed the above at a DOS prompt after booting PC-DOS from a floppy. Any suggestions?

I have 701 and it says the same thing. And yeah, weird... I realized at the last minute that there was nothing to be pissed about since my USB drive is FAT anyway. But it sucks for those using external(/internal?) HDDs for the BIOS file.

Well can you use NTFS or does the mobo really not support NTFS?

HAHA, WHOA, no. The BOARD supports NTFS if you're talking about like an operating system. It's just the built-in BIOS flash utility (that really is ultra-handy) does not read off NTFS-based drives. Well, it might, but it says that it doesn't.

EDIT I just realized I typed NTFS above. I fixed it. That might be the confusion.

I figured this one out. You have to use an older version of AFUDOS in order for it to allow flashing to an older Bios. I flashed back to 0701 using v.2.00 of AFUDOS which I got from the ASUS ftp site. With Bios 0901, I was getting some random temperature warnings in pcprobe and Ai Booster, as well as incorrect fsb and cpu speed readings. Consider 0901 to be a very beta Bios. All is well once again with 0701:)

hmmm...

Well I have had the P5W-DH for about two weeks now. I flashed to the 701 bios pretty much as soon as I got it, and I have had the issue with AI Booster giving me an incorrect FSB ever since i've had the Motherboard. It's weird though, i am running a P4 550, and it's clocked at 14 x 275 (3.8 ghz). Anything over 275 the FSB really goes crazy on AI Booster. On 275 it fluctuates a little bit, but not as bad. I had alway figured that it was my processor, but who knows?

:confused2

nicke, you have to SET vcore = 1.4v or more but not AUTO in bios before you flashing bios.
after bios flashing, restart , set a vcore, enter into OS, shutdown pc.
cut off powersupply.
then... restart and enter bios. you will have vcore option Always available.

same problem here. its strange that it shows 252mhz fsb. it does the same for me.

Also it takes a lotttt of time to post because of the microcode update. it gives some error about the uCode and says hit F1 to resume so I do.
you know how normally the lights on your keyboard flash up then your system posts? well mine flashes 3 times (or i hear that sound 3 times... something like that) before the system posts forreal.

:D use asus aibooster , set to 1.4v and restart. check the volt.
if vcore=1.4v , use asus update , flash bios ag. maybe that will help :D

or
flash to 0088 or someother bios which you can change the vcore. then .. try ag. in my way :D

I have E6700ES with multiplier x6-x10, but I do not know how it to change.
I constantly have x10 and the option of change multiplier in BIOS is inaccessible.
I tried 078 and 0701 in both is identical.
How is it possible to change multiplier?

I dont think nicke can change vcore with any bios.

How is it possible to change multiplier?

Is E6700ES stepping5?
Stepping5 seems not to be able to change with BIOS.
But stepping4 is can be change multiplier.
(Though it depends on BIOSver.)

However, if CrystalCPUID (Funtion,Intel Enhanced SpeedStep Control) are used, it will be changed.

Yes, I have B1 step 5.
Can't I really change multi with any version BIOS in BIOS?
If it is possible, with what version?
I never used CrystalCPUID, but I shall try.

Thanks.

Nop haven't tried that yet.

To Victor
I can't set it with Ai or in Bios. With 0088 I can but if I do I will only end up with a black screen and then I've to either clear cmos or it resets it self :(

Here is the link to the Asus ftp site where I found an older version of AFUDOS:
ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/flash/

I did use the syntax you have above to flash just to be safe;)
