i used to have it on but it's pointed the wrong way. air blowing out and plus it makes my pc louder. so at stock should i set it to auto or compensate for big vdroop? i don't know anything about this. does vdroop get worse the more a pc is oc'ed? is it not so bad at stock speed? i'm expecting my very first good video card (1950xtx)in the mail thursday so i'd like to get this settled before I play f.e.a.r. and oblivion. I've never owned a video card that cost more than $70 before.
You can just flip it around then... All the fans that came with my case also had a little white control attached which allowed 3 different speed settings.Quote:

ok I have seen other members post this same question , but have yet to see a difinitive answer. Here is the scenerio; try a higher oc , add a lil more volts and prime crashes in a few seconds. Ok add another bump on voltage and it last a few minutes, but the next bump on voltage makes the comp restart during prime. Any following voltage after that has the same results, Prime does not error my comp restarts. I have verified its not a ram issue with several runs of memtest, I also have tried adding voltage to MCH and FSB ( i have maxed them ) and still recieve the same results.
Any Ideas?
Hey guys what's the max fsb on the P5W DH??
asus website says 400 but it doesn't seem like that's the case.
When I get to this point, I accept I've reach the limit of the current configuration. That could mean the cpu has reached its limit with the cooling being used or it can also mean the chipset cannot handle the stress prime is placing on it @ such a high FSB. The only way to know if the board can't handle the high fsb is to try same FSB with a lower multiplier. For example, there was no way for me to know my board could do orthos stable with my E6600 @ 440 FSB because my cpu would only complete 32mb pi @ 3960Mhz. Lowering the multiplier to 8 made it 3520 which was passed orthos over 12 hours. Had this failed it would tell me it was my chipset since my system was already 12 hours orthos stable @ 400 X 9 = 3600mhz with less volts.Quote:

Alot of people have but I am unsure if removing the plate voids Asus's 3 yr warranty on the motherboard.Quote:

It could just be that the heatsink is not making good contact with the ICH7R chip, but you do risk voiding the warranty by removing and reseating it with a fresh application of thermal compound. Removing the heatsink caps will help, but not enough to bring a temp of 80C down to normal.Quote:

I would take your sinks off and take a look to make sure they're making contact well.. I am really glad I did. whew.Quote:

SB sink is banana.
Here is the 1405 bios
http://www.spec3.net/asus/P5W-DH-ASUS-Deluxe-1405.rar
Before flashing to this bios I was limited to 405FSB stable. I've only tried upto 440FSB, but it's stable so far on a stock board.
:woot:
zomg I love you Steve :D

Interesting info.I thought that the problem was that my card can't stand lot of volts and i was going to buy a new one.If you have the same problems with a single card and you can get 2v with cf,then i don't know what is going on.Quote:

The vmch doesn't help getting fsb more than 414 on boot.If i set 415 i get blank screen,even with a pci card(that it helps me get 2v mch).The same friend also had fsb boot problem around 405,but he flashed back to 801 bios and then he could boot fine 450+.Now he uses the 1403 and raises fsb just like doing it in windows.I tried it too,but no luck..
I'm at 460FSB now :)
ist this final or beta?
Beta
460 @ ? mch
1.85
do you know if it support ES chips ?Quote:

Thanks! Gotta try that 1405 bios tomorrow morning.
Damn eveningshift :(
My board doesn't seem to want to run over 450FSB stable now, but 45 extra FSB from a bios flash aint bad. Now I wait for 1406 :)
yes all the 140x bios work ok for es i have a 6700 and its fine, also downward multiplier works from bios
