Does this 1402 bios deserve its own thread?
cripes!! the power down after setting overclock bios settings is not working. I keep getting failed oc after I pass 450 when the pc doesn't shut down. Hope fully its something I'm missing. Time for some Pi comparisons @ 9X400 vs 8 X 450:D
Wow...450x8...
I wonder if my OCZ Plat 6400 REV. 2 stuff will do 450. Are you guys @ 1:1?
Results people! :) Do some Pi tests! I'm stuck at work right now.
Yes, I think it does. This is pretty major (gettin multi's on the P5W). Somebody wanna start one after we get some more testing?Quote:

Out of the box, a mobo temp of ~50C is quite normal for this board. Read the following thread for some tips on how to get that temp down a bit:Quote:

Nope, the only thing asus need to fix this is add tRFC into memory timings options. Once they give us that, it'll be sorted... cmon asus please put tRFC in bios :(Quote:

Really weird, & the 1 mb Pi results are slower @ 8 X 450 than 9 X 400 @ 1:1 4-4-4-12. I'm still playing though. This is the very reason I bought the new revision board so I can have FSB available:)
i dunno if anyone else is having problems with AIBooster acting sluggish and freezing. I've tried a few various bioses, (using 1201 atm) but no luck. I've formatted and reinstalled xp, but no success in fixing it.
Any ideas?
BTW, i havn't got my E6400 yet, i'm using my P4 640. But i don't think that would cause any issues, would it?
Thanks
it's always like that, very buggy software
all asus software is very unresponsive for me
I had no problems with AIBooster when i had my P5WD2 Premium, but it's almost unusable on my P5W DH Deluxe. I know the software isn't very useful in most aspects, i only use it for voltage control while i'm in windows, so i can use clockgen and setfsb te adjust the FSB (Before anyone calls me a n00b, i set the major settings in the bios first). When i click the link to open the tuning panel it gradually fades in, and is very laggy while i'm attempting to use it, and it completely freezes up as i'm adjusting anything, before i can even click apply.
I just wandered if anyone knew what was causing it, because i've seen a few people in this thread being able to use it.
Thanks lawrywild
Is the DOA usual with this motherboard? I have a ne board got it last week. But it whont start. The fans just spins a bit then it's dead again (milli sec). Have to push the powersupply on - off to be able to do the same thing again.
The PSU is okey, since I tryid it just before plugging al the components.
So ither it's the CPU, Memory or the motherboard. DOA or bad bios, I don't know...
The bios chip says:
WDH0C
1001
803A
F8 03
Thanks!
I think that problem is dependent on your RAM - I have been able to set RAM timings and hit 400+FSB on both my P5Ws (67MOAG and 68 MOAG), using 1305 BIOS.Quote:

i got g.skill 2gbhz ram...i will update the bios today and play arround to see what it gives..Quote:

wondering if better than 1101

:confused:
Are you using some MOD´s ?Quote:

No Mods. Newer revsion board that allows 1.85 mch. 450 is not easy though. 445 is much more easier to obtain. Been looking around for a some better cooling for the northbidge as I'm certain once I improve this, I can get about 470.Quote:

I stopped doing any serious overclocking with it. Its way too buggy. 450 x 8 also required more vcore than 400 X 9. I'm sure its the whole boot strap thing and the tighter timinngs this board uses. If I were to invest in some DDR 1000 I'm sure I'd be more successful.Quote:
