Asus P5W DH Deluxe BIOS 1101 Official Released

F**king typical really, you jump on board early on a board only to find that they release a better version of it without even changing the revision number. :mad:

I wonder if another setting somewhere in the bios could affect what MCH voltage appears.
Maybe Performance mode: normal -> 1.5-1.65v / turbo -> 1.55-1.85v etc.
Or having a certain AINOS setting selected could make it appear ??

He's confirmed that he's got a different chip to the rest of us though hasn't he? I can't check my board because it's at work, but I know I've never seen a VMCH option over 1.65v.

Well the FET is different but it could just be an equivalent from a different manufacturer. (It's just a common power transistor basically) The chip that actually controls the voltage (the RT9214) is the same :confused:
Maybe it is down to just a different FET, but I doubt it tbh.
However, on the other hand, it must be a very simple hardware change for them to keep the same board revision.

It would be interesting to see what would happen if that particular board is flashed with the 1101 bios.
Would the higher voltages remain :confused: :confused:

My bios chip says 0502, will I be able to boot with a conroe:(

Prolly not, but a few folks had their BIOS chips say 0501 and actually had 0701 on it.

Better order up a free BIOS chip from ASUS.

Is there a quick link to do it online or do I have to call them?

Call 'em. And have fun waiting on hold. :)

Hold on Skrekogre

You see the chip labelled RT9214

What does the chip in that position on your board say?

edit: actually everyone please post what the IC there says

This ones a bit clearer

Anyone know if ES chips work wtih this bios?

Skrekogre already said a few posts back - it is RT9214, so is mine.

maybe there is some different resistor

ok need some feedback. does any of u guys always have "new cpu installed" prompt on post after shutting down for a while on the 1001 bios? it seems i'm getting it.

i've flash back to 801 bios. seems like no problem already. the vmch stays at 1.85, so i guess its hardware and not bios. seems like the 1001 very very very buggy.

I found the 903 to be the best so far. I might even try the 701 again; I never got a chance to mess with it.

With 701/078 bioses My E6700 (ES) was not recognized and could't even boot ( no post at all )

So with 1101 bios I feel fine and lucky at 3.5 ghz stable 24/7 dual prime ( 24h testing 57° cpu and 39° mobo ) and noticed I could evn lower my Vcore - actually 1.48v bios vs 1.51 few days ago ( 1.43v with pc probe )

Some others with 1101 noticed that too .

Maybe could you give a try :)

could u pls give us some screen shot of ur vmch while in windows?
if its true newer revision with 1001 stock bios can do 1.85vmch.
then i shall wait a little while to see if its can OC better.

I don't remember seeing asusprobe showing vmch in windows. any other s/w can show? anyway, the 1001 bios very buggy. i had a lot of strange problem with it.

Well my adventure ended early today, looks a though my bios does no support the e6600. I hoped that maybe it was the G skill but I get no screen with some corsair 5400c4 either:(

e6600 OEM week 25, Ninja Scythe Mine with 120mm fan, gkill 2bghz, p5wdh ,seasonic 600w

Was able to boot into xp and ran some benchies @2.8 GHz but i have not been able to get back in.
Max OC is 2.75Ghz; testing 2.70Ghz. 2.6Ghz stable 24/7. OCing all done in bios 1101.

I'l edit post shortly and add bios settings

Did you mean 3.8 GHz couldn't get back in, Max OC is 3.75Ghz; testing 3.70Ghz. 3.6Ghz stable 24/7?

I'm currently attempting to hat flash my bios:(

ur memory timing set to auto or manual?
