I'll update when I've got news.
My 1.02G (A channel memory bank defective) was just replaced with a 1.04G. I probably won't get to it until next week. I'll be sure to keep you posted though.Quote:

Out of curiousity, has anyone here had issues where there would be no bootup/POST after clearing CMOS?
Anyone found a solution why the motherboard reboots when one selects shutdown in windows? And no clearing the cmos doesn't help at all.
Thanks for the info...This is what i suspectedQuote:

I had some spare time this evening and swapped out the 1.02G for the 1.04G. So far I am at 400fsb x 9! Best o/c on 1.02G was 385x9 @ 1.3625 (BIOS).:rocker:
CPU temp @ 46 deg C (with stock Intel cooler), M/B temp @ 39 deg C. CPU voltage at 1.3875 (BIOS). All other voltages still on auto. Haven't run any benchmarks yet but am very optimistic! Just can't wait to get my water system in this thing!
I wonder if just having the memory run in dual channel mode is making the difference? The new board revision? One thing that has changed is the hardware monitor device. I no longer see that mysterious "temp3". :confused:
Try 450x8. Is the vdimm max value the same, 2.4v? I have family visiting right now so I will not get a chance to play with mine until this weekend.Quote:

WHY? And what to do?
Has anyone used RAID 1 on the EZ-RAID yet?
I want to know whether it's necessary to install the asus ezbackup software to build the array or will it mirror it fine if I just plug two formatted matching drives in?
I know I need the software to rebuild a faulty array but do I need it to get started?
Yeah same here but im holding off until we see how the RD600 performs. will watch to see how good or bad it is. Im not really that heavy into clocking, just like to get a little extra mhz. My main concern is stabilityQuote:

The only thing the ez-backup software gives you is a visual depiction of your drives from within windows. You don't even have any bios or things to change/modify/view as the box is posting, so you won't know if your stuff is degraded, broke, or whatever, until you boot into windows to take a look.
I have to do some data migration this weekend with my server and replace one of my arrays from 200x4 to 400x4. The following weekend I'll reload my OS when I rebuild my array on the ICH7 chipset.
Okay I have an annoying problem with my board at times.
I have clocked the system to 3.6Ghz and it is stable but sometimes the bios won't boot when I start up, so I restart and it starts up at stock speed.
And then I go into bios to get back my 3.6Ghz, reboots and won't boot again...
So restart it again and once again it boots up with stock speed, and I jump into bios again. Reboots and it won't boot...
This I can keep up for about 15min before the system wants to boot up at 3.6Ghz.
What can be wrong?
I'm currently using E-Z raid setup for two 74gb raptor since it's an easy setup.
I read a lot of post saying that ICH7 is the best for raid. The problem is the set up is so complicated, can someone post for me procedure step by step to setup the raid 0 on ICH7 . Thanks in advance. And I don't have a floppy drive to create the raid driver disk before installing windows, is dvd rom ok ??
I don't know if you can load the F6 drivers from a DVD. I don't have a floppy either. I used nlite http://www.nliteos.com/ to slipstream the drivers and it worked great. There are guides on the nlite site that are helpful and it's very straight forward. My XP Pro CD is SP1. I was able to slipstream the drivers, SP2 and updates from SP2 until the time I made the CD without much effort. It's really simple.Quote:

I'd recommend getting a usbfloppy (15-20$) or doing the slipstreamed method. Unfortunately slipstreaming isn't the easiest option, but i'm sure there are guides you can follow that are step-by-step. I've done it, but I spent a few hours studying it. :)
Best of luck!
First off id like to add to the argument that the ICH7 Raid is the best raid solution for our motherboards. Ive benchmarked them all including single drive setups. I found that Raid-0 64k cluster size was best for me, using the latest intel matrix raid drivers for ICH7.
Results from sandra 2007 SP1 (Filesystem Benchmark) On two serial ATAII WD 7200rpm 16mb cache drives in Raid 0.
Intel Matrix Raid
Newest Official Intel Drivers 64K cluster, Write Cache on.

The buffered scores are just simply great. The EZ Raid just cant compare.
Now for my problem with this board.
I have the E6600 Fam 6 Mod F step 6 ext fam 6 ext mod f Rev B2
Antec Trio 650W PSU + APC
1gb Kingston HyperX Pc8000
1707 Bios
I can get my cpu to overclock to 3.6ghz on air but even with a modest daily overclock set to a meer 3.0ghz 9 x 333 mem at 4 4 4 12 4 4:5, I seem to have problems buring good dvds. My system at 3ghz is idle at 89F and full load at 100F same for northbridge. I can run prime95 for 24 hours with not one error. However with this new system and same old pioneer 110d and Prodisc dvd-r, I am getting a lot of coasters. I am burning dvd movies with nero 7 and also ImgTools. The disks will verify after buring but when I play them back in a dvd player I get random lockups and chapter skipping and non reading at all. Also a lot of cd images that I have burned while overclocked came out bad. Apps wouldnt install etc. When I burn dvds at completely stock cpu settings I seem to never burn a coaster. What the heck is going on here, its driving me nuts. All i want to run at is 3.0ghz anything faster And I dont see any real benchmark improvements. All my voltage is on auto except for mem is at 2.2v Does anyone have any suggestions. Ive tourture tested this rig many times and get no lockups or errors either.
? how do you set the memory divider on this board. Cpu z tells me its 4:5, isnt 1:1 better? if so how do i set the mem to 1:1 If I go higher then 833mhz on the memory it seems to get unstable, shouldnt pc8000 ddr2 hit at least 1000mhz, even at the slowest mem timings i cant seem to get higher then around 912mhz which isnt stable.
Here is my ram: ????????????????
Model
Brand Kingston
Series HyperX
Model KHX8000D2K2/1G
Type 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM
Tech Spec
Capacity 1GB (2 x 512MB)
Speed DDR2 1000 (PC2 8000)
Cas Latency 5
Timing 5-5-5-15
Voltage 2.2V
ECC No
Buffered/Registered Unbuffered
Heat Spreader Yes
Why cant I hit ddr 1000 or even 1066 with this ram and this board. I think this board is flawed in the fact that 1066 is almost impossible to reach. Can someone please help me to tune this ram with our boards. What are my best settings to run at if I want to stay around 3.0ghz and still have great stability.
I just bought a P5W and I was wondering what overclocking and desktop utilities work best on this board. I am using the CPU Probe tool that came with the board and it works pretty well....

Well I'm keeping my board for along time to come. I just love it. For those who are just getting one use G.Skill 6400HZ or suffer like so many others. It was better binned and just fits this board perfectly. Oh and spend another $10 for a floppy drive. If for some reason you think owning one is uncool just plug it in when you need it. Here is my G.skill on the job in my system.

G.Skill 6400HZ is great ram but you need 2.4V to run it in cas3 for 24/7 usage.
There are "better binned D9GMH" sticks out there that can do better but of course they cost a lot more, namely, Mushkin Redlines or Corsair Dominator pc8500.
Absolute garbage!!Quote:

I dont understand why you want low timings when intel dont get any preformance boost from it?

well i thought the cpu couldn't handle it anyway.. so i was running my system 1:1 thou my sticks could do much more then the cpu because of limited cooling..Quote:

I love to run my e6600 @ 3.6 Ghz , DDR1000
But neither the 6400HZ nor Mushkin PC8500 that I have could do it @ 400 !!

Oops, you're in the U.K., so wouldn't understand that saying. Well you made it seem like this mobo can't do more than 1000Mhz period. Now we know 3.2GHz regardless of the MHz on the memory is a big difference over 2.7GHz. 1MB SuperPi is no great achievement, I know this but I just want so show something positive out of this board that's all.Quote:

OK, well it's easy to reach over 1000 on my board, but stability is another thing completely. Thing is, I think it's mainly my memory just can't do 1000 rather than my board but since hardly anyone else can reach 1000 stable, maybe it isn't my ram.. it's all very confusing :p:Quote:

I kinda doubt your memory is the culprit. I think it all comes down to tRD being too tight on the P5W DH. The Mushkin sticks run perfectly fine on my buddy's P5B Dlx @ 1120 yet it barely makes it to the windows desktop for a few seconds before BSOD @ ddr1000 on the i975 board.Quote:

I have problem with onboard sound...
I usually use Audigy 4 as my soundcard, but I bought an amplifier and I connected it through SPDIF out on my onboard soundcard.
But, when I install audio drivers, my cpu usage in idle is ~11%...then I uninstalled audio drivers, all was fine...
Then again, I installed audio drivers downloaded from Realtek's web site, but the cpu usage is still ~11%...
So, can someone help me??
Thx!
Anybody here with a rev 1.03G and an unusual serial like this?

I wonder if they fixed anything that's worth it to test out.
Yep, they suck, I'm returning it to Newegg for RMA. I bought a new one from another Chief Value and I got a Rev 1.04G. I'll test it out tonight. But Rev 1.03G are no good.Quote:

I fixed my XP shutdown issue where it would turn on a second later - it was a USB device (a sound-sensitive light that I used for gaming) plugged into a hub on the OTHER set of USB ports - not the ones that ASUS ties in to the remote power up.
So, it seems that BOTH sets of ports are sensitive to rogue USB devices, not just the remote-controlled ones. With that said, both my USB mouse and APC UPS plugged into the same USB hub do not trigger this behavior.
That's a tough call, and a statistically wrong claim.Quote:

First post on here :woot: Hi everyone.
Please can you guys help me because i think i might have killed my board...
Flashed BIOS to 1707, then rebooted, on start-up i went into BIOS and put my previous OC settings back... when i should have loaded the defalt settings on the first boot after flash... anyway, now board wont boot... i just get a blank screen, with fans spinning at maximum when i power up.
I've reset CMOS jumper atleast 5 times, and took the battery out and left it about an hour aswell as resetting jumper - didn't work. Also i've put a compact-flash memory card in with the 1707 ROM file on it called "P5WDH.ROM" and pressed ALT + F2 to try and blind flash it on boot up, but again it did not work... well, i left it 20+ minutes and it didnt seem to be doing anything.
...What else can i do??? :mad:
Thx man! I appreciate that! :)Quote:

If you pulled the battery, set the jumper to reset for at least 15 seconds, then put the jumper back to run position and replaced the battery, and the system does not at least beep when you turn it on, you've done about all you can do before calling ASUS for help.Quote:

how do you calculate a 1:1 ratio if your cpu fsb is at 333
im at ddr 888 and cpuz tells me im 3:4 at ddr 833 im 4:5 How the heck do i get 1:1
I want to stay around 3.0ghz can someone please help.
FSB 333 x9 = 3Ghz (2997)
Set RAM to DDR 666 which will give you a 1:1 Ratio.
;)
fsb 333 x9 ram 999 (8500) ratio 2:3 :scope:

Not sure if you saw, but some people had similar situation that ended up being USB devices connected to the back four usb ports. Try disconnecting all your usb devices and shutting down.Quote:

Any help would be great

If you haven't done any mods to your NB, it could be that it's overheating, or maybe you aren't putting enough volts to your vMCH. Take a look at that.
Lastly, the CPU has a 1066mhz FSB, but the motherboard is at 800fsb. You see some people able to get over 1000fsb using dividers, but I distinctly remember seeing people hit a wall the closer they got to 1066mhz.
Use Manual mode, and set everything you're going to use manually. I don't have all of the information handy, so I can't tell you all the options, but I know lawry put a handful of them in the first post on this thread. You can also find a good guide on anandtech.com's forums for our mb and core2duo overclocking.Quote:

Physically turn off the power to your psu, change positions of the jumper, and cross your fingers while turning everything back on. If you work, go ahead and put the battery back in.
Best of luck.
Did you also disable Hyperpath3 and all the top Auto settings in the chipset pane? I know some people had specific fsb numbers that they werent able to hit, but I thought that was past over 400mhz. Try out 366 and see if that works.Quote:

If you don't see anything, try upping the voltage of your CPU a notch or two, and keep going up until it works. You should also try upping the voltage to your ram a notch or two over what it's rated at. If I kept my ram settings as "auto", my voltage would be 1.80, yet my ram requires 2.20v to function, and more if I want to tighten my timings.
Yeah Hyperpath3 is disabled. I'll try again later with upping vdimm and vcore slightly :)
And well, my screen just wouldnt work while my system appeared to be running (all fans working), don't think i heard a beep tho.
Edit: Any program btw where I can see my current vmch/vdimm voltagE?
my 24/7 clock is at 333fsb x9 on 1.32 vCore. If u try 1.35vCore i can use windows with up to 370fsb. but when i run ORTHOS its getting errors pretty quickly. it dosent matter if i max out the vfsb, vmch or vich. i think its strange, or is it normal? i want to raise my 24/7 OC w/o raise my vcore past 1.350. Any ideas of what could make it stable if its not the vcore?
atm i use EIST and all those things you shouldn't use just to get my pc as cold as possible when iam not using it. ram is running at 832mhz.
EDIT:
Thought i would show you my best 24/7 OC with stock cooler so far.

So is there any benefit to running at 1:1, right now at ddr888 333 x 9 my sandra mem score is 7088. Which is the best Ive gotten so far.
Hi!
I've got ASUS p5w dhd mainboard. And i have alot of problems. I am currently using 1707 bios.
here is my hw:
Intel C2d E6600
Ati Radeon x1900xtx
OCZ value ram 2048ddr2 ch pc 5400 667mhz
forton source 600w
WD 200gb s-ata hard disc
Maxtor 300gb Ide hard disc 7200rpm
Maxtor 160gb ide hard disck 7200rpm
benq dvd drive (IDE)
unknown dvd bruner (ide)
Both my ide hard drives run in PIO mode, and i have tried alot to get it in DMA mode, cuz its REALLY slow, took me 110min to extract 5gb from winrar to the drive. And its REALLY slow when booting.
I am not very good in bios. But i've tried alittle, i really need help with this.
I have also problem finding my dvdburner.
I've tried to installe the newest jmicro raid driver but its in PIO mode still...
thank you. I have tried to get 4 gig stable but cpu needs to much vcore. 1.6v is as far as i would like to go.Quote:

Haven't tested any rev1.04g though [ and I don't plan to :D ]
I bought a Vantec NST-360SU-BL eSATA/USB2.0 enclosure, and it worked just fine when I plugged it into the motherboard's eSATA outlet.
However, I picked the SATA3 plug for the slotcover outlet that came with the Vantec unit to provide a second connector, and that one doesn't work. No sign a drive is connected to it.
Can you just use SATA3 (or SATA4) for something other than RAID? The manual said use SATA1 for boot and SATA3/SATA4 for data drives. Do I NEED to change the default RAID_SEL jumper setting to make SATA3 available for non-RAID use?
There's also the SATA_RAID1 plug, but I'm not sure it can be used in a non-RAID setup in conjunction with the external plug, although I do have that BIOS option set to NORMAL.
Thanks...
Here was my max 24/7 stable back in september... Haven't used the P5W DH since then...

I can't get above 369 x 9 on L632A CPU for the life of me. Everything is disabled, I mean everything. I have been following your guides to the T. I turn the ram on SPD or my own timings and jack them up as high as the BIOS will allow me. I get in to XP and set Memset to have higher trfc is it all the way up to 40 and beyond.
I will take CPU voltage to 1.55v even and I cannot get past 369fsb period.
Orthos will restart within one minute if not the second I run it at 370 or 371, 373, or 375. I cannot......get past 3.32ghz....
Ive ran 8x multi and tried for higher FSB's and it doesn't want to do it.
Is it the BIOS revision I am on?
What can I provide to you guys to help you narrow down whats holding me back?
Im sure u need more vcore. I need 1.6 for anything above 370fsb.Quote:

How do I know what board revision (1.03g, etc) I have?
It doesn't seem to be listed on the box or on bootup....
I have a P5W and a E6600 and using Core Temp it shows my 2 cores being 118 degrees F!!!!!!! That is under a load WITHOUT OVERCLOCKING!!! In other programs it shows it as being 90 degrees!!
I understand the temperatures are measured by different sensors but is this temp. too high for the reading from Core Temp.???
http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/392Use intels thermal tool to measure temp and see if its still that high. u can down load it here http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/392Quote:

Plus I am using a Thermaltake Big Typhoon with Arctic silver!!!
47 load or idle?Quote:

I don't have a floppy drive...what should I do?
Thanks in advance. BTW, the more specific, the better :)
100% load = 47 degrees
Idle = 41 degrees
Look between cpu and memory slot near top of board u will see rev 1.0... bottom right of.... Digital HomeQuote:

Do u have a usb flash drive? u can use the asus ezflash 2. Download bios on to usb flash. Reboot Press <alt>+<f2> during post. bios setup program will come up go to tools select ez flash 2 press enter to enable it. U can switch drives using <tab> let it find the file.Quote:

OK, thank you - mine says 1.04g, and I got it from Newegg... so it seems they are shipping the new revision. I read earlier in the thread that someone thought newegg was only shipping 1.03g.Quote:

I had a desire to run my SATA HDs and my IDE cd/dvd rom drive off of ACHI instead of IDE (which is PATA). I read somewhere that you can use AHCI MODE instead of Standard IDE mode (even after you install XP. AHCI is suppose to be installed when XP is installed using F6 during setup) and in some cases AHCI will work better. However, its a true PITA to get it up and running because once you install XP any AHCI driver is simply not recognized by XP. Even if you download Intel's Matrix drivers it will not install regardless if you use the bootable disk version Floppy Configuration Utility or if you use the .exe version Intel Matrix. Until I stumbled upon this thread that explains it to a T although unorthodox it does in fact work. Once you finally get XP to load using AHCI you then go back and update to the lastest Intel Matrix if you like (if necessary).
Folks I have found a thread that explains it very well just follow the instructions because you have to edit one of the install files so that it will install drivers for the ICH7R and not ICH7M.
This does in fact work I did it myself for P5W DH DELUXE and it worked flawlessly. XP still loaded about the same time but the explorer is a bit more responsive. I haven't tried games like BF2 yet. Word of warning, you have to put "ONBOARD IDE OPERATE MODE" (found in the IDE Configuration of your bios) to Compatibility mode then below that select S-ATA (forget what it's called). This is what I did and it work flawlessly. I am sure keeping your "ONBOARD IDE OPERATE MODE" to Enhanced mode may work as well but that's not what I did.
After you reboot with the drivers installed you can download Intel's chipset Identifier to make sure you are in AHCI.
Please note:
Use this method if XP refuses to install AHCI drivers when you attempt to update the driver within device manager!
Hi, not wanting to contradict but I have managed to update the sata drivers to ACHI without have to mess around with any editing. Infact the process is described quite clearly on the Asus forums. You just update the driver within device manager then reboot and change the bios setting over to ACHI, simple...
