Actually if you upgrade you will have problem before 1603 the multipliers work........
Guys i have problem with my ecc fatbodies.There is no option in bios.I can see it at first boot (when i have cleared cmos) but no option in bios.Moreover it disappears when i reboot.I found that others have the same problem here,but the problem still remains.Can anyone help me with this?
Ram is fine and tested with a lot of boards (six p5wdh and work fine with three of them).
sorry I'm probably being thick here, but I don't really understand what you mean..Quote:

I am running an e6600 @3.6 and use the wi-fi solo to connect to my netgear DG834G no problems at all - It is an integrated wifi mini card after all. It has options to use as an access point or station so its your choice how u use it - the limitation is that it is only 802.11g - 54mb.Quote:

i asked the same question earlier up , bios 1503,1506 and bios 1601 have the unlocked multiplier for the qx6700 after 1601 , the multiplier has been locked by Asus, i'm using 1601 and it works okQuote:

Needs to pop in their P5WDH Deluxe CD and XP will install ATK0110 ACPI Utility under System Devices automatically. I am not sure why this is needed but it is in order to fix the problem. Please keep in mind I have AHCI installed and working when I did this. I am not sure if this will work if you don't have it enabled out not but IMO it shouldn't matter. If it doesn't install the update automatically when you insert the disc then go:
Software\AIBooster\Acpi\WIN2000
the ATK0110 virtual device is needed for aibooster or setfsb.
Can anyone send me a profile with ecc option in bios,so i can solve my problem here?
Can't you set it to enable on first boot after clearing cmos? Does it disappear when you reboot after setting to enable?
I can see ecc at boot screen after clearing cmos,but there is no option in bios.If i reboot there is no ecc even at boot screen.If someone send me a profile with ecc in bios,i think i'll be fine.Quote:

I don't think a profile will fix it. As soon as you reboot from setting the profile the ECC will disappear I'd imagine.
No!if you load the profile with ecc,the option will stay.I've done it with one of my previous boards,but i don't have any saved profile now!

OK no problem, I don't have ECC though, sorry.
Just found something I didn't know about, when controlling the cpu fan with the mobo bios settings and you select silent mode with Vcore above auto it runs the fan at full 12v (this I already knew about and was kinda annoying..) but I just tried settings Optimal which I thought would just set 12v aswell anyway, but its actually at 5v with my cpu at 100% load in windows :D (vcore above auto obviously). This is in DC mode (don't know about PWM fans).
i just did something but not sure why it happened i had orthos beta doing stress tests cpu was 100% accordign to windows task manager i then decided what the hell i used tats full load system as well and i got up to 69 temps i closed it was scared. I checked core temp too so it was a correct reading. im running on 3333ghz. Is this normal. Considering orthos had been on for 1hour + and 55 on load was highest i saw.
regards
yeh, TAT is very stressful, much more so than ORTHOS. Intel issued a warning to enthusiasts that it can stress the cores so much that it can damage the CPU (after periods of 30mins+). ORTHOS is more stressful than anything I've ever used in 24/7 windows usage so I find no need to see TAT temps.
hardly anyones posts their settings which are STABLE. Here are my settings i have tortered it with 2x prime 95 running in torture mode 3+hours fully stable no crash and orthos beta for 2+ hours solid. I havent lowered the vcore yet or any of the other voltages main this is its stable.
heres the ram spec
Corsair 2GB Kit (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-6400 (TWIN2X2048-6400C4D) DOMINATOR
ram is not that good but managed to get it to 740mhz, and tuniq tower 120
any suggestions please let me know i would have gone further but i had to lower my dram frequency and dint see the point just to get it to 3.4
I'm having problems with Speedfan 4.32 - even though in the Readings tab all my fans are listed, in the Configuration's Speeds tab one is missing, so I cannot Automatically variate it or set the min and max speed. The one missing is the blowing-in fan on the left case wall, connected to one of the PWR1/PW2 sockets on the mobo (the other of the two controls the back fan, whose speed is visible to Speedfan). Any workaround? I have re-installed and reconfigured Speedfan from scratch to no avail!
if you want it on max speed plug it straight into psu molex connector.
What CPU have you got. I am running orthos stable @3.6 with memory 1:1 with 4,4,4,12,4 with 400 FSB with vcore 1.5v(iamount varies CPU to CPU) other settings FSB=1.3,MCH=1.65,ICH=1.2. The RAM should run DDR 800 4,4,4,12 no problem at its normal volts cos that is what it is speced to do. If you are failing to get your CPU higher than 370 try upping the MCH (NB volts) then the vcore if it still fails. I presume you have applied AS5 to your NB/SB.Quote:

set your ddr voltage manually to 2.1 if you have not already. I used to have the same memory and 1.9 (auto) is not enough.
A 500w PSU might be a bit light - what graphic card have you got.? If its an 8800 you probably want more juice ! Check all your connections - 24pin and 4 pin 12v. Post all your BIOS settings - In my experience setup tends to be more stable if you enter values rather than use defaults/auto irrespective of overclocking or not - especially for the memory settings on this board.Quote:

I updated to version .5.3.7.2 then 3. You wont find the P5W in the list of MB but I tried setting motherboard as P4C800 deluxe and manually configured. Seemed to work okay. You need the plugins for coretemp and Nvida card if you have one. If you have a problam send me your email and I will send you my zipped directory to overwrite the one you have installed. I see a lot of posts from people wioth P5W's showing MBM5 displaying vcore - can anyone advise how to configure that under MBM5 v3 or post their zipped directory?
Do you guys reckon we'll ever get a BIOS update for this board from Asus that allows adjusting the CPU multiplier on unlocked Core 2 Extremes and Pentium Extreme Editions which supports Vista? It seems to be just about the hardest thing for Asus to digest, as to exactly why is well beyond me :(
Is it because the Chinese think differently, or just can't be bothered?
Yes i am using defualt settings. Dont want to overclock or anything of that nature. Its been a long time since i was hardcore into computers and so much has changed ofcourse. I also want to know if this is ideal.Quote:

The way it appears to me if im not using raid i really only have 3 sata ports w/o using jmicron. Also I can not find the right driver to enable AHCI and actually get windows to boot w/o retarting my machine at black bootup screen (xp pro 32). i get an error when running the intel matrix storage driver says my system does not meet requirements. I did install the 975x chipset driver.
Also my ps is a tagan 580w i said 500w before, my video card is x1600 ati chipset. i dont play pc games
I tried bios 1901 and actually got a little unevered it was so horrible with my set up. So before I freaked out and moved back to 1707 I decided to move up to the new 2004 beta bios. For me this is the BEST bios yet!
I booted easily at 438fsb to run some pi. This is the highest I have ever booted, let alone run anything

OK.......so I get a new printer this week (HP C3180) and installed drivers etc.
When the printer is switched on and the PC rebooted I get this on boot:
DETECTING USB MASS STORAGE DEVICES
It just sits there doing nothing?? When I switch printer off and reboot, all is OK??
Any ideas peeps :confused:
ONly good idea: set aside 2 hours where you don't need the computer, turn the printer on and reboot the computer, and if after 2 hours it hasn't done whatever it needed to do to finish the install, contact HP about fixing it or replacing it...Quote:

Bios doesn't care about drivers and thats where his issue lies. :)
Anyway, is it absolutely necessary to be able to boot with the printer on? If not just wait until you are in windows to turn it on.....
Also, does your printer by any chance have a card reader in it? Could be trying to boot from it.
The east actually.....maybe that's the problem? :p:Quote:
When you installed was the wind blowing from the south? Was it partly cloudy?
The situation is resolved by setting USB Legacy Devices to DISABLE in BIOS instead of AUTO......but this removes DOS support for keyboard & mouse.
I have heard BIOS 1901 fixes this so I am going to try flashing to that BIOS tonight (I'm on 1506 ATM)
Well flashed to 1901 and no difference........:(
Hangs at same point.....

Well I'm now really confused. I wonder if the problem lyes with memory compatibility. I had the Firestix PC2-8000 in and I couldn't boot into windows @ 440FSB no matter what I tried. Then I took them out and inserted my spare 5400ULs and the bastard is booting right into windows @ 450FSB, however, I can't do it @ 1:1 mem divider....so I don't know if this means anything to anyone. Oh yeah, I also tried the Crucial Ballistix PC2-8000 as well no luck like the Firestix.
http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/5761/450fsbga8.jpg
Additional Comments: Also, with the Firestixs and Ballistixs I can boot into windows @ 400FSB and using 1000Mhz, but I can with the the Corsair 5400ULs.
seagate 7200.10 on SATA 1
2x Raptors in RAID 0 on SATA 3 and 4, (BOOT DRIVE)
HAD LG optical on PRI-IDE
removed IDE LG optical, installed
LG optical SATA
for now its on EZ RAID SATA 1. I can't get it detected. Ditto if I put the single Seagate in there instead.
As soon as the optical is NOT plugged in (either into SATA 1 on ICH7R or NOTHING) it works fine, and I can open it's drive bay. Seagate works on SATA 1 as well.
Neither work whatsoever in EZ RAID 1.
I have read posts on ASUS forums suggesting one CAN get single drives and devices to work on the "missing" SATA 2 port from the ICH7R controller which is what the EZ RAID ports are... via the Silicon Image controller they are the missing SATA 2 split into 2 more ports.
Apparently by removing both EZ RAID jumpers, and plugging the device into EZ RAID 1, you can use it as normally. EZ RAID 2 get disabled by default. This arrangement I guess bypasses or disables the SI controller and throws control back to the ICH7R
HOWEVER, for some stupid reason I just cannot get it to work.
Unless people have other suggestions for me, I might just have to assume its a DOA port and have to RMA the whole damn thing (over one little damn bit!)
I think it is very bizarre for the port to kill the optical drive ONLY when it gets plugged into it... not even being able ot open the drive bay hmmm
I got ASUS p5w DH Deluxe with 4GB of Corsair 6400C4 (twinx modules-pairs).
Intel E6700 CPU, EVGA 8800 GTX ACS3. Seasonic m12 700W PSU. All settings in BIOS 1901 were AUTO.
I run pc for few months without problem. Few days ago I changed cooling to Scythe Infinity. When for the first time started pc it hanged after bios post. Then I managed to get to screen where I can choose to start windows in safe mode or last known good settings. But after choosing any option pc again hanged.After many tries I removed one ram and started pc (3GB)... it booted without problem, windows loaded etc. I puted ram inside again and booted also without problem (all 4GB). So I decided to run memtest3.2 (setings BIOS AUTO no OC etc.). After few minutes it gave me error. I rebooted and turned off usb legacy and start memtest3.2 again. After around 6 hours (5 PASS or more) I got 1 error. I tested each memory with memtest86+ 1.7 by itself for 1 Pass (30 minutes) and no errors. I testes one memory in all slots for 1 Pass also no errors. I set in BIOS settings like on memory: 800Mhz, 4-4-4-12 (4 write recovery like was in corsair test). voltage 2.1 and after few seconds got 2 errors in memtest86+ 1.7. I set write rec to 5 and send it again, and now it's running for 30 mins and no errors but will live it for the night. I don't knwo what to do. I don't knwo which pair to give back to replace which one is faulty ( is still got warranty form the shop where I got it). Or maybe it's my mainboard? I don't have to much time to test it. Is there any particular test I can run to make sure which ram is faulty or if I shoud RMA my mainboard?
am think problem is memory voltage ! put manual 2,3V and check
i searched this thread and found nothing about anyone having problems with using ezraid for raid 0.
i have my two raptors in raid 0 in the orange ezraid ports and it takes about 4 or 5 reboots before the raid 0 shows up in post and lets me boot to windows. there seems to be no pattern of cold boot or warm boot to make it work. it just randomly works. i'm afraid to shut down my computer as i never know how long it will take for it to see the raid 0 again.
anyone else having this problem?
btw, using bios 1901. haven't tried the latest beta as i'm afraid to ruin my raid 0 altogether by trying a beta bios.
edit - burner is in sata 3 and storage drive in sata 4 if that helps.
So what has been the advantage of having the newer bioses since 701?
Avatar....nicepun. Well I gave running at a lower mutliplier a shot.
Here is how that went. It ran 1M pi in at about 14.069.
Hey eastcoasthandle, with this 2004 bios I am running at
429 fsb well I will post the pic. I have been running at this since yesterday afternoon. I have been folding steady and gaming and even did some benching. When I got up this morning it is still running smooth. Now the big difference here is that my CPU voltage is turned down to 1.625 and my mem is set at 2.2. I have never clocked this high on this low of Voltage settings.
Again, for me this bios is the best yet. There has been many a horrible bios to come around the bend. I have a board that started out at bios 501. I have tried them ALL. Just to see for myself what if any differences there were in them. This 2004 bios is for me by far the best!!
WZ
I flashed 2004, seems stable, haven't done any extensive testing but so far it's like 1901 for me, but that's all good :)
I've clocked down to stock w/ EIST for the summer :p:
Did you install the drivers for AHCI when installing windows - if not you can try this to save a reinstall. I havent tried it but the thread posts say it works!Quote:

thread for more info http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=112776 and this one to get lower board temps from NB/SB chips. http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.p...&highlight=p5w
The E6600 is a great overclocker - Doesnt matter if you play games - it fun to have a faster propcessor for nothing!. You dont need to push it like the rest of us - once you are stable on stock try increasing FSB and see how high it will run stable with no vcore increase.
Isn't it too much? I want to run with 667Mhz and standard timings 5-5-5-15. Right now I'm testing other 4gb of ram (kingston 800) on this ASUS p5w dh to make sure that it's not the mobo problem. I also testing on 4 other computers those corsair sticks, each by itself. Tomorrow will check is any got error. If not I will be totaly lost!!!Quote:

I just bought a second 36Gb. Raptor Hard Drive!!!! I would like to RAID 0 the two drives for my OS, what is the best way to do that on a ASUS P5W???
(I also have 2 data drives, but I will not need a RAID on these).
If I understand correctly, there are multiple ways to setup a RAID on this board.
What should I do????
Edit: new info below.
I have tried default jumpersQuote:

Ok, hopefully I have a cure for your pain. Please follow these steps exactly, as they allowed me to set it exactly as you want it.
1. Power down, and place EZ-Raid jumper in center position.
2. Clear cmos. (Important as per page 5-50, If jumper is not changed upon first installation the system applies the default setting of RAID-1.)
3. Connect your two raptors on the top two ICH7 SATA ports.
4. Connect your optical drive to the orange EZ-Raid SATA port on the right hand side.
5. Do not connect your Data HD as of yet.
6. Power up.
7. Enter bios, select Advanced page -> DH Feature page -> Enable EZ Raid Mode change.
8. Reboot.
9. At message press F1.
10. Enter bios and set up as per your normal routine. (Don't forget to enable your Raid. Save and Exit.
11. Power down.
12. Connect Data HD to the remaining ICH7 SATA Port.
13. Power up.
14. You should have success, because I did. If not RMA.
15. Smile.
Hey, i got an e6600 and i want to know whats the max amount of voltage i can put into this baby before damaging it. Highest ive gone has been 1.52v.
Basically i just want the pc on for 10 minutes to do a super-pi run. Thanks in advance!

Solved finally.
Somehow after countless resets I was able to get it to work if the LG SATA was NOT in the EZ_RAID 1, and the Seagate was.
I could swear I attempt a setup similiar to this near the beginning, and it resulted in being unable to detect the Seagate when it was in EZ_RAID 1
but here I am with 4 SATA devices under ICH7R control, which was my goal.
So I'm not sure how you claimed to get their SATA optical working off the EZ_RAID 1.... either you're mistaken (maybe?), or something was/is up with my board, OR something to do with LG SATA opticals maybe not being able to do it, but maybe other brand SATAs can work off that port. NOT MINE!!!
anyways thanx for the help, pretty much the only help i really got across numerous forums
How? I'm interested in running 2 raids off the ICH7RQuote:

So far I have tried changing out the floppy drive and changing floppy disks. Nothing has worked yet....
Help!!!!
Did you forget to setup raid in bios?
After I made the floppy disk, I went into the BIOS (not the RAID BIOS, the main bios) and went into IDE config... and changed the way SATA drives are configured to "RAID" instead of IDE.
So yes to the best of my knowledge, I enabled RAID int the BIOS
Uhm, there's one more step involved. Did you enable Raid bios? You need to go there too (Ctrl-I), and configure raid proper in that thing :)Quote:

Yup,
I built a RAID in the RAID BIOS
what XP did you use? an original or a mod one?Quote:

Try with an original or non mod...... nlite make OS crash
in Raid configuration I tried several and all crashed in P5W
If you can try in Vista....
No Mods, original.
I think its kinda crappy if you have to make a custom XP cd just to install some RAID Drivers...
I never claimed anything. That is exaclty how I set it up. I have a Liteon drive though. Anyway, your welcome.Quote:

Here is some discussion from ASUS forum:

Do I just add that string of code at the end of the default stuff????:confused:
crazyea,
As you suggested, I replaced the scsi = iaStor_ICH8DH with scsi = iaStor_ICH7DH. After trying that it actually loaded instead of giving me an error when I pressed F6!!!!
However, In the list of drivers it lists:
"Intel(R) 82801GH/GM SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH)"
Instead of what the Motherboard manual tells you to choose:
"Intel(R) 82801GR/GH SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH)"
Ultimately it picks up my full "array" later in the install but is that ok to pick that one or should I try to find a different version of the drivers???
Well, I'm guessing the 82801GH part is the is the same??Quote:

It picked up my Array just fine and is running my OS and Programs pretty good.
However I really can't tell a HUGE difference with the 2 raptors in RAID 0 compared to just one. Then again I really haven't tested it yet...
Soooo I guys in the end i guess the RAID driver I picked was the right one because windows recognizes my RAID or what???? Or will it show up in really crappy performance or something?.....
If it said "desktop ICH7R" then it's the right one
