nice find arrarro! :D
hmm .. the beta is the same as the file, the CRC32 hashes from the zip files (one from asus, one from deluxx) match. Both 0EC1F93D. Nothing new here folks :(

The randoms 256 degree CPU bug is fixed for me in 1407.
At what temp should I begin worrying about my mb? Its pretty much always at 42 degrees.
Hello guys ,
I cannot get the eSATA onboard port to work. When I plug in eSATA to SATA cable for the storage Seagate HDD , WIN XP do not recognize it :confused:
However, with the USB 2.0 cable the HDD works flawlessly.
Apart from that , everything s OK.
THX.:)
When I put my intake fan on high, my mobo reaches 34c. When my intake fan is on medium, it reaches around 43c. And with my intake set on low, it reaches 50c. I keep it on medium. I have two x1900xt's which run at 85c in games. The temp sensor is around the southbridge so it is kind of close to my videocards, which is why it can get a bit warm sometimes. But yeah, im curious as to what you guys are getting for temps on the mobo?
did anyone suggest a heatsink for the clock gen on this board, because it gets burning hot when overclocked.
im getting highs of 49, and i dont like it.. but apparently they put the sensor at the wrong place so anything up to 55°C should be fine, but dont quote me...
I also dont know which cpu sensor to trust, the ones from coretemp or asus probe. Seems weird that the cpu is as low as room temperature but all other components are ~40°C
At the moment...
Asus Probe:
Cpu: 26°C
Mobo: 42°C
CoreTemp:
Core1: 40°C
Core2: 40°C
Sisoft Sandra:
Motherboard: 42.0°C
Cpu: 26.0°C
Power / Aux Temperature: 37.5°C <--- is that case temp? and why would it be higher than cpu, doesnt make sense
AtiTool:
GPU: 44°C
setup is; e6600@3.0ghz (stock voltages), g-skill 2gb "hz" ram at 1ghz @ 2.1v and a x1900xt at stock
so basically, which temperatures should i trust? the temperatures are generally low bar the motherboard one but apparently the temps with this board go pretty high

I pulled the SB sink and found that the thermal gunk on the southbridge was only touching the left and right ends of the chip. The middle swath was completely clear of any of the stuff. I cleaned the gunk off of the chip sink and I lapped the southbridge heatsink which was pretty un-flat. I also removed the shroud then reinstalled using AS5.
I cleaned the same glue-like hard thermal gunk from the northbridge chip and heatsink, but didn't lap because it would have been difficult with the heatpipe hanging off and I didn't want to risk damaging the pad that contacts the voltage regulators. I removed the shroud, applied AS5 and reinstalled.
After that, my MB temp had dropped from 45c to 37c.
The northbridge and southbridge heatsinks both felt really hot---I couldn't even hold my finger on the northbridge for more than a second or so--,so I decided to put a fan on each. That dropped my MB temp to 32c and now I could probably hold my toungue on the northbridge sink all day if I were so inclined (and gifted).
its the most important problem found since the mobo has been released. I dont know why didn´t they fixed it yet...strange no??Quote:

how long does it take you guys to post also?
it takes me a good 10-15 seconds.
Try disabling all Q-Fan as shown in the first post. If that doesn't work, set the temp sensors to Ignored in the hardware monitoring section.Quote:

I updated my BIOS to 1407 (from 0801) and it looks like 400 FSB is now stable.
Been blending my E6700 at 400 x 9 @ 1.52 vCore (BIOS) for 1 hr 22 min now, where before it'd crap out randomly between 0 to 35 minutes.
I approve! :)
The 1407 also lets me adjust my CPU Ratio now on my L624A E6600. I second the approval.
I've been slowly working with the CPU. My first wall seemed to be at 356FSB with 1.5 volts. I just bumped up to 376 @ 1.52ish and its holding its own crunching on a small Orthos for 3387. But with my luck it will BSOD right after i hit the SUBMIT :eek:
Ahh man, the CPU ratio adjustment exploits EIST. So much for that idea. :|
Sitting with a comfortable lapped E6700 @ 320 x 10, Auto everything, GSkill ZX @ DDR-800 4-4-4-12, 2.1V. C1E and EIST enabled for power savings.
Big Typhoon also lapped, P180 with two Yate Loons, all at 640-670 RPM for some very quiet computing...
The exhaust fan from the building across the street is louder than my computer, even with the window closed! :)
Hey guys. My sytsem will not go into stanby. Sometimes it locks going into standby, and sometimes it boots as if the system was off if it does manage to go into standby. This occurs with 1305 and 1407 Bios. Any suggestions?
I installed 1407 yesterday, and this morning Probe 2 is still (once again) showing 128/256 as the CPU temperature. Everest works fine.
470MHz ORTHOS stable with my P5WDH "1.65vMCH version", copper cooler on NB :)
Which bios are you using?Quote:

my problem lately is that the hardware monitor has been acting REAL slow... Like PC Probe takes forever to load and messing with the settings in it has a very long response time...
Any ideas? All Q-Fan controlls are disabled.
Hey Folks,
i got my ASUS P5WDH for about 3 weeks and am still fighting to get it absolutely stable. Right now i am almost running out of ideas what my problem ist.
First of all, i am able to get my E6400 Dual Prime stable (been running for 11-12 hours, no errors) at 3,2ghz, 8x400mhz with 1.3850 Vcore in Bios and about 1.36 i'd say real, as far as CPU-Z shows it under full load. Anyways, Vcore doesn't seem to be the problem, since more of it, let's say 1.415 doesn't help either.
Anyways, i am running to Samsung S-ATA's in Raid0 on the Intel ICH7 controller. PCI locked to 33mhz. I use to compile my own Firefox and Thunderbird builds quite frequently, no problems before on my A64@2.6ghz, same raid0 setup btw on a K8N Neo2.
What happens now, is that my compiler runs bail out about every 2nd or 3rd run with errors on corrupted libraries or internal compiler errors.
Now i read in the Anandtech Forums, that some people have trouble with data corruption and overclocking on the P5W-DH.
Anyone else experiencing this? Or might it still be only the CPU at it's limits and not able to do 3.2ghz?
On the other side, it seems absolutely Prime stable, which makes me wonder. Since on my A64 i had really trouble getting Prime stability, but on the other side, even with Prime bailing out, i had no problems what so ever compiling my stuff.
What is more, max. cpu load during building is 50%, since the compiler and make do not use both cores simultaniously. This again makes be think that it isn't a cpu issue but maybe more a motherboard or raid setup related thing.
Next thing i'll try is to do the compiler tests on a single, old IBM DTLA drive that i still have left here.
Thanks for any ideas or suggestions on my problems ....

Lock PCI Express bus at 100
Set MCH voltage to 1.55v
Either the memory or the power supply is the issue in your rig. Did you test your memory after a reboot and before Windows loads?Quote:

Thanks for the suggestions so far guys, but i also played around with voltages as well. had MCH on 1.55, VDIMM up to 2.25 (though i ran memtest86 to check the dimms on that speed for hours). but right now i am on auto on all the voltages cept for cpu and dimm, but gonna try upping some again.
what i didn't do so far is removing the nb/sb sinks ... that might be my next step. what is more i wanted to get a new power supply anyways going 500W+ . though i am not too sure about the enermax being the problem. it's supposed to be a very good and stable psu, and the voltage readings don't look bad at all, even under full load.
still, what do you guys say, that this one task is basically the only application i get those errors? i can even play HL2 EP1 for hours and hours without any issues at 3.2ghz.
you sure, that this couldn't be in any way raid/intel driver related? anyone of you running raid0 with a cpu and the mobo at 400mhz fsb?
