I have the 2704, as i explained before i have a really low fsb wall for my Q6600, but i'm unable to confirm if it's a cpu problem or a mainboard problem.Quote:

The main defect i have is that i cannot change the cpu multiplier. Even changing it, it remains fixed @9x.
Bingo, I told you..Falkentyne.:D
This website and the people in here they are very good.
Is 1.225 as low as it's supposed to go? Is the reason for the instability that I've seen it bounce as low as 1.07V?...Quote:

I Just need to know if people using a 45nm CPU do have the 1.225-1.7v full range selection.
The above poster has a Q6600 though, that's 65nm....
Not here. That's why I still use Auto. I swear I didn't reactivate SpeedStep or anything, so perhaps ASUS is detecting the power requirements just as well as Core Temp detects the right temperatures. So far, no place I looked said 55C was a good idle temp...Quote:

Have 4 SATA drives. BTW, the issue is fixed by installing JMicron SCSI driver instead of the standard MS IDE driver.Quote:

What was the point of your post? How did it contribute ANYTHING to this thread, or even to what I asked about the 2704 bios? All you did was post some pictures....and the wording isn't even in English! So we have no idea what you're talking about O_O.....hard drive benchmarks?
Hi guiys,
Sometimes my mobo, under overclock, when I reset the PC it clears the BIOS, just like a free clear cmos, it did never happen to you??
I am running a E6400, 400FSB, full stable, but this problem persists even with this latest BIOS, 2704.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Strange. Check the gnd connections and the battery.Quote:

This happens with OC, when in default its very, very rare, maybe will be very difficult to send it to RMA...:(

EDIT:
I forgot to say, when I was testing the BIOS battery the multimeter show me 3.20V, it wasn't supposed to be 3V or less?? Or this mobo use different battery?
Regards
Battery should be slightly over voltage if it's good. Going below rated voltage means that the battery is wearing out.
Ok... BIOS 2704... I had some issues with it at first, but am now actually quite happy with it.
- Here's why:
@ first, BIOSS was strangely sluggish, and I could not seem to change my multi downward (I could but it wouldn't "stick" on reboot).
Per previous suggestion, I cleared CMOS, and still had same issues.
- However - During this time, I also managed my highest stable OC to date, so sluggishness aside, I left as-is.
Now for the weird part - I moved into a new apartment two days ago, and upon setting up my rig, I noticed the P5W DH splash scrren come up (I always shut this off). I went into the BIOS to disable, and found all settings had been reset, sluggishness was gone, and I can change my multi again! - My Dad packed up my rig, so I am suspicious that something occurred that reset the CMOS, which doesn't thrill me, but everything's working now, so no worries...
I am running a 65nm X3220 Quad @ 3.4GHz, 2GB Corsair @ 954MHz w/ decent timings... not experiencing any voltage issues (aside from a slight vdroop that I always have to take into account w/this board, no weird issues with the nic or onboard sound either (which I experienced during high fsb overclocking with an E6400). I am running Mac Leopard 10.5.2 w/all updates, and even need to have a couple of odd things set up in the BIOS to get Leopard running.
So long story short: I cannot speak to the performance w/ 45nm on this board, however I have been using the DH for a good long while, and it is performing better these days than I have ever seen it (w/ my current setup).
- In all fairness, I should also note that this is my second DH. I purchased my first in Mar. of '06. It died exactly one year later, and I RMA'd for a new one. The new DH is rev. 1.040, if that makes a diff.

What's up guys...
i'm trying to do a overclock here...but i'm having a problems...
what is the best bios to do a overclock in this motherboard??
i'm usgin a 65nm processor...a E6750...i'm trying to put 400fsb, but the stability don't come...
when i put the divisor on 1:1 (fsb/ram), the windows started, but when i tested the the over in the orthos, and 2 second later, the machine simply stopped, and i need to restart the pc...
my config: E6750, crucial ballisitx tracer 800mhz (the best batch)
i don't remember what bios i'm using now...i'm going to see now, later i edit the post...
sorry guys...my english is veryyyy bad, but I think you can understand
thankssss :D
edit: the bios is 2206
an update I am still on 2704 and its still stable no crashes etc.
Regarding voltages both C1E and speedstep will reduce the voltage on idle the difference is how they increase the clock speed on activity.
C1E - I believe raises clock speed/voltage whenever the processor is taken out of HLT.
speedstep - requires cpu utilisation to be above a certian % before it adds juice.
so C1E is less impact on performance but in turn saves less power and heat.
If you enable speedstep and C1E is disabled I dont know if it still reduces voltage alongside the clockspeed I cannot remember :)
I may be blind, but I no longer see an EIST setting to enable or disable under 2704. Virtualization is stuck enabled since I'm not allowed to touch it. Where was EIST set, and is it available to any 45nm CPU?...
I have the same E6750, first try to set memory to lower mode 600MHz, and then test only CPU. Disable all power saving features such as C1E mode, ESST. If it can't work add CPU voltage, my CPU can work at nominal 1,35V only for a while and fails in most tests, fully stable at 1,425V. If nothing helps try to add voltage on MCH to 1,65V. When you get normal work at 3.2GHz you can set memory speed back and power saving features if want.Quote:

i'm using a cooler box :down: ... How i put the cooler to max rpm?? i put the conector of cooler in the 3 pin of mobo..and i disabled everthinng about q-fan in the bios...But nothing makes this crap to work in the max rpm!! :shrug:
thankss
I want to jump the boat. Does it worth it??? Planning to c/o the MB P5w DH to Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6 :confused: Please break me if you have to. Thanks:D
Plz guys don't push ya beloved P5W's... Do not go over 1.6MCH voltage and 400 FSB with Conroes... on the stock NB... Things will go downhill from there : resulting in erratic behaviour and NB degradation, resulting in a lesser FSB to become stable again... if you feel the need to push 400FSB and above go P35 for a cheap solution...
@NTVH : no need to go X48 mate, any P35 will handle any current CPU nicely...(unless you want to go flatout on Crossfire) since you got all those NB/SB stuff pick ya mobo wisely...
I ran my E6420 @ 3.44Ghz (430 x 8) for a year and a half at max vMch (1.85v?) and nothing happened.
I only put some AS5 and took off the metal caps from the nb and sb.
Count yourself very lucky then, I fried 2 of them in just over half a year... not everyone here replaces the TIM or upgrade it's cooling,... some boards sustain the abuse, some just give in... I just share my experience with the board and I loved it for each minute it ran...Quote:
