You've got a 1.2GHz overclock out of a 2.6 chip on a above-average (but not the best) heatsink/fan and the board is suddenly crap? :confused:Quote:

Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4ghz
I made it to a 366 fsb with only a small boost to the vcore and I havent really tried higher. My issue is to get anything above 295 I need to turn off hyperpath 3 and this means I loose around 900~ 3dmarks (06), OCing up to 366 will recover me around 150~ 3dmarks (06).
Is this normal behavour it seems that OCing above 290 with HP3 off isnt worth it if your PC is built to play games rather than crunch calculations?
what is most important for U ..stable gaming or benchmarking numbers that cant be used for anything than braggin rights....and only a few got the equip and money to play in that league....and even less knows the tricks...
I dont know where you learnt maths :slapass: but accourding to the school of rock :party2: that i went too 3.6 Ghz (Overclock) minus 2.66 Ghz (Default) equals 940 Mhz. :stick:Quote:

Bragging rights really but it'll come in terms a 3dmark score not how many seti units I have processed in the last week.Quote:

You can run it with right timing, just need more volt.
I have had nothing but trouble with my setup lately...
Seems that these boards do not like USB devies at all... Especially keyboard mouse combo like teh Logitech MX5000 BlueTooth...
Every time I try to boot up, I get either my k/board or my mouse not working & then only after several reboots do both work ok...
I do have legacy USB Devices enabled in teh bios as having it on auto or disabled in teh bios just does not work...
My current setup is:
E6400 (8x355 2.84GHz @1.5v)
P5W DH
Corsair 6400C4 2 x 1gb
600w (no namer)
7800GTx 256MB
2 x 250GB SATA
DVD-RW/DVD-Rom...
I have followed this thread closely & am using teh 1305 bios although I have tried every other bios there is out there cept for teh 0701...
Could be a board issue with USB anyone??
My wireless usb keyboard/mouse works fine. Although I didnt plug it directly usb; I used the converter that came with it.
Hello all , Long time lurker first time poster.
I have a P5WDH DL and 2 Core 2 Duo's E6600/E6700 Both hit about the same wall on ths FSB. I have tried everything listed on page 1 along with some other random things , One question I have is what exactly is "Microcode Updation" ? Only reason I ask is because I have done testing . All testing really shows me is that with Micorcode Updation disabled Prime95 runs Stable @ a higher speed than with it enabled. Now you may call BS , but it works for me and I am not saying it actually increases system stabilty. Just maybe a fluke with Prime 95 based coding.
Also I cant believe the difference in windows stable volts and 2 instances of Prime 95 running stable. All my past chips really were close if you booted into windows , maybe one bump up.
Lastly to all the prospective buyers of this board , The Vcore drop under load is quite signifigant not to mention how much it flucuates around. I feel this leads to using more volts than are what is nessaccary to cover the lowest drop in Vcore. The board is very nice with many features and maybe the new revs have fixed this , Just sucks for the ones who have already purchased the board.

If your setting up a Raid on the intel chip on this board the correct drivers (ICH7R) can only be made by booting from the supplied drivers disk and having a floppy ready. If you try to make the Intel Raid drivers from the interactive disk in windows it will for some unknown reason make for you the ICH8R drivers. Thanks Maverik-sg1 for telling me about this.
I"ve got a problem of the wifi card which comes with the motherboard.
It just keep disconnecting and reconnect every 5mins...
Can someone help me out with this plz?
I´ve got weird problem.
My Asus P5W DH powers off suddenly when overclocked.
Nothing seems to be overheating.
Anyone else? What might be fix?
Did same thing with my old P4 630 if I OC´d it over 3.7GHz.
Bios is latest 1305.
Might it be PSU related?
Now I´m testing FSB 360MHz with Orthos and everything is stable..
Damn hot, Coretemp says 74C and Asus Probe says 54C.
Can someone help me with this please?:(Quote:

If you HAVE to have wireless on it on look for older or newer drivers that might fix your situation. Also - might not be specific to your case but flash the newest 1305 bios onto your borad. Can't hurt and is now the recommended bios.
I have exactly the same problem with my computer.Quote:

My two DVDR drives are stuck in PIO Mode and i have all the intel driver and the 1305 bios...
My drives are connected on the blue intel IDE port.
Are we alone with this bug???
I'll try it ... hopefully it can be fixed ....Quote:

I said "Continue Anyway" or whatever... works much better- fewer disconnects.. however I do get a lag issue during gaming where my ping spikes to 200 ms and the game "rewinds" and I get pulled back to the spot I was standing a few seconds prior (Playing CS:Source).
Hi, I need some help about what RAM I should buy for this mobo. I have to add that the RAM is the most important part of my pc build for the tasks it is going to be built for (not for gaming).
I was thinking on the next Brands and Speeds (Ill need 4 GB):
G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit System Memory
Model:F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ
G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit System Memory
Model:F2-6400CL3D-2GBGA
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM Unbuffered DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit System Memory
Model:TWIN2X2048-6400C4PRO
About this last one, I dunno if this mobo supports epp technology or if it will help ram performance to be better.
Thank you very much for your help...
Mine did the exact same in csQuote:

Despite the title of this thread, allow me to share my experience with this board. ;)
It has been working smooth as silk since day 1. I have had absolutely ZERO problems thus far. The board has the stock cooler on (did not even change the TIM). My E6400 is cmfortably sitting at 3.2 GHz. It is Pi 32M stable at 3.44 but the chip got bloody hot and almost hit 65 C !! I backed off because I did not want to toast it. :)
I think once I move to water, I can hit 3.44 stable on the CPU. In the SS, the RAM is completely taken out of the equation. The video card is a $200 x1800xl 512Mb which I flashed to an x1800xt. I have had no problems at all with the wireless card. I game online everyday and there are no problems with lagging or the network breaking down. Simply put, I have had a super smooth experience. :woot:

Do you happen to have G.Skill 2GBHZ? because I have the exact same timings, and in bios the SPD is set to SPD enabled where it suppose to run PC800 @ 4-4-4-12Quote:

You have to bear in mind that the sudden current demand changes of a C2D are much higher than older CPUs, and it is a very difficult challenge for board manufacturers.Quote:
