thanks for the reply. i've actually just bought a p5k deluxe cause i'm sick of this mobo. with raid 0 on easy raid, 80% of the time at boot it doesn't see the drive so i've got to restart it. combine that with the inconsistent frustrating overclocking i'm fed up.Quote:

Coretemp is what u use to report internal core temperatures.The data is collected from a Digital Thermal Sensor which is located in each individual processing core, near the hottest part. Running 24/7 upto 1.55v on air if you have good low temps should be fine - you are overclocking after all!.Quote:

Would you say that 25/27 are good idle Tjunction temps? Thanks again.
I run 1.5v set in BIOS vcore. For comparision I run 48c idle - 58 load using coretemp. So compared with me you have very good temps!.Quote:

Sweet... I'm Orthos stable at 3.6Ghz with 1.4875V and 1.55 vMCH. I set my ram back to 4-4-4-4 2.1V, and it's working great. My full load temp fluctuates between 55 and 60C in CoreTemp... not sure what the idle temp is since I'm still running Orthos right now. Anyway, just wanted to say it's working and thanks for the help!
BTW, is it safe to up the MCH voltage if I don't have any kind of extra cooling on my NB? All I did was replace the thermal compound with AS5 and took off that weird cover on the heatsink.
If you have a revision 1.04 board does it matter which bios you update to? If someone has a 1402 bios should they attempt to update?
As you already know this is the MB that has the increased voltage for mch, etc.
Nice o/c - you can probably get more out of the CPU if it will do 3.6 on 1.485v as long as the memory will run 1:1. MCH increase of .1v isnt that much but helps stablity- I stuck a small 40mm fan on it to be sure. Check the MB temps. MBM 5 version 5.3.7.2 reports temps and volts okay on this board with a little calibration. I stuck a post in this thread previously as did others.Quote:

I think I'll go ahead and try it out and see if it affects my CPU temps.
I dont have this MB ( or ne intel for that matter or DDR2) but Im trying to help a friend OC his system ( over the phone) . I will list what I have tryed so far ne imput small or large is a great help .
So far this is what I have had him do .
updated bios to 2004
Set ram Divider @ 533
Under Chip set disable By spd
Vcore set to 1.4
I am Aiming for 3.2 with this setup .
He has a p5w dh / e6420 / d9 2x1gig ram /stock cooling.
So far we have hit 385x8 . It passed Super Pi 1m and 10 min of orthos. But was random reseting in CSS .
Like I said I dont know much about these new toys , Should I get him to up the MCH and NB voltage ?
Thx
MCH is the NB setting. As with any CPU overclock BIOS settings for memory,Vcore,NB,SB and other settings will decided on what you can achieve Read the first page on his thread and this setup guide may be of use http://forumz.tomshardware.com/hardw...ict197995.html.Quote:

I bought some and have installed one on the SB, but the NB uses the clip type installation, and the clip provided will not work (although the installation instructions illustrate a different 'universal' clip that would work if it was supplied).
I know Thermalright officially state that it's not compatible with this board (due to the heatpipe arrangement), but I would be prepared to forego the mosfet cooling if I can get this on the NB.
Hi aoe, I had the same problem, so what I did - you're not gonna believe it - but I used AS5 and screwed the HR-05 to the top of the nb cooler, and - you're not gonna believe it - it worked unreal. Before - nb heatsink very hot to touch @ 1.65mch. Now - nb heatsink only just warm. I've now lapped the HR-05 and will lap the top of the fins on the nb cooler before glueing the HR-05 back on top with thermal adhesive. I understand if some of you think this is whacked.
That is an ingenious solution :clap:
I ended up reseating the original HS + heatpipe and putting a small fan on the top of the NB. Seems ok, but would really like to get that HR-05 on. The annoying thing is that the installation instructions show an illustration of a retaining clip that would work (2 hooks on each end oriented perpendicular to each other) but this is not the retaining clip that was supplied.
I've recently changed my case (from CoolerMaster Stacker STC-T01 to Silverstone TJ-07), and the ventilation on this new case isn't as good. I've been working on improving both the air circulation and cooling (additional 120mm front intake fan, HR-05 on SB, replaced Scythe infinity with Thermalright Ultra120 Exteme, Scythe Kamakaze 120mm on HS, trying various case fans - SilenX/Scythe/Thermaltake). I had to drop my OC to 3.2GHz as I was getting some instability (and some video corruption during POST).
System appears more stable now with the latest modifications, and I will try and put it back to 3.4GHz tomorrow. I did try vMCH at 1.65, but with no noticeable difference in stability.
Current voltages are:
vCore: 1.3750v
vMCH: 1.55v
vFSB: 1.40v
vICH: 1.20v
vDIMM: 2.2v
Temps (if I can rely on the readings):
tCase (cpu): 27C idle / 49C load [SpeedFan readings without offsets]
tJunction (core): 30C idle / 53 load [TAT readings]
Ambient is 22C atm. As summer is coming, I can expect ambient to rise by as much as 10C (then the fun will start).
I realise that the temp difference between tCase and tJunction is not within specifications (should be ~15C difference so I've been told), but as I have no single temp reading that I can definitely prove is accurate, I am unable to establish the offsets I need to apply. BIOS temp is the same as tCase at idle.
Load program was TAT.
If anyone has any comments or recommendations on voltages or whatever, please let me know.

edit: also, how is running the memory on the p5w dh in odd ratios (not 1:1).. when I had my p5w dh that didn't work too well for me.. I'm skimming now, but thought I would ask also..
*edited*
I was also expecting better performance from this HS. You won't believe the number of times I've reseated it though. Even though I can remove the motherboard tray, with the HS installed it won't slide back in (hs too tall).Quote:

I don't know about that. When I flashed to 2004 I could finally get my CPU all the way to 4GHz... although after I turned my PC off, the Bios craped out on me.Quote:

Hi guys.
So I still have this problem that my mobo won't boot with a 8x multiplier. It can do 9x400 fine, but 8x400 or even 8x266 won't work. Mem timings are SPD Enabled etc too, I have tried anything but no fix.
As I'm still using 1707 bios, do you think flashing to 2004 might fix?
i dont think it will Gig4moller
well it didnt for me either
I haven't checked this thread for some time now but I am wondering have Asus fixed the shutdown problem with the motherboard yet?
One shuts down in windows but the motherboard just reboots instead of shutting down.
I don't have such problem ....Quote:

Temps after the system had been on for a few hours browsing etc where between 36-41c, room temps about 20c and under load would never go above 52c not that impressive considering my w/c setup(as per sig).However today I managed to get hold of a l644g380 was wary of these chips as I had heard that they not the best of batches, but it appears I have got a better than average one , I can now boot into window 400fsb using 1.4875vcore and it is stable running games, encoding etc, however it craps out in orthos after 5hrs blend priority 9,sometimes with an error and sometimes just plain reboots? Temperatures now are incredibly low compared to my original chip, idling low 20s and under load 40c room temps where 22c so this is a definite improvement in 1 area and this is unlapped, unlike my last chip which was lapped! My question is how far would you raise the the other voltages safely? I have removed the heatsinks applied AS5 and have fitted 40mm akasa fans to the NB and SB, chipset temps never go other 39c. Ram has active cooling aswell.

No GascogneThe board has not done that since near the beginning. Mine never did it! I have had this board since June 06 and I believe it to be the best so far for ease of use and great speed at any given clock when compared to other boards at the same clock. I now look forward to the X38 board coming down the pipe. I also currently use a P5NE-SLI that is a Great OC'r. But I will always remember the P5W DH as a truly great board!!

Hello!
Anyone here who has 2 gfx adapters in this motherboard?
I've tryed with 2 Nvidia card, my main gfx card is xfx 8800gtx card and the secondary is nvidia 6200 card. I've even tried a pci card.
I dont want SLI, i just want 3 DVI outputs (2 monitors and one pj)
and it doesn't work? Have you configured the nvidia drivers correctly?
No... or... it dont show up in Windows. I've tryed to add the gfx adapter manually, but that didnt work.
i'm sure this has been asked, but I just can't figure it out!
I have an E6600 with Kingston HyperX PC2 9600 and an ENERMAX 500W. I have DD water cooling on the cpu, and just bought two thermalright hr-05 and one thermalright hr-09 mosfet cooler. Before I got the thermalright pieces, I was running a p5w dh rev. 1.02G BIOS 2004 at max 340fsb stable either 1:1 or 2:3. This is at very high voltages: 1.6v cpu, 2.3v ram, maxed out the rest.
(I don't know much about MEMtest or other windows ocing software.)
Well, yesterday out of laziness I tried to remove the stock cooling's push pins without removing the board - and ended up breaking one of the MOSFETS! :shocked:
I went to the market today and interestingly I found a P5W DH with a "1333 FSB effortless!" sticker on the box. I looked inside and found that it's 1.40G so I decided to try my luck with it.
Now, my question to all you 500+ fsb overclockers: What dividers and voltages can I use to go that far?!! Can it be done from the BIOS? :shrug:
please help! This thread is overwhelming - if someone can point me to a relevant post here I'd appreciate it.
Good joke - I presume that was a mistype and you meant 400 FSB because I think you will find hardly anyone (if anyone at all) has hit 500 on this board.Quote:

Well yes scaramonga I should clarify that. This has been a truly great board for some of us who knew how to get at it's goodness. Funny I have set up a dozen of these boards for people 4 of them bought new and 8 of them that were duds that the owner was just thrilled to unload!!! and every last one of them is running at 400+ daily and all will run over at 425 fsb just fine. I set them up based on their cooling ability so 1 of them besides mine runs at 425 daily, 4 run at 416, 3 at 412 qnd 4 at 400. not a one of them has needed anything. They just run and run. Yup you guys keep selling them cheap and I'll just keep buying them. I actually got one for $85 and a e6600 bad batch piece of crap for $160 and it is the one that also runs 425 daily............
All of them are running on the 2004 bios and all of them are running G.Skill 6400HZ ...... Oh scaramonga check out the scores in my sig I hardly find them laughable............

What are the benefits from running 4-4-4-5 vs the standard SPD timings of 4-4-4-12? Do I stand a higher chance of getting a corrupted operating system with the tighter timings? dVIMM is set at 2.1v.
I guess you have a higher chance yeh, but aslong as they remain memtest stable then you should be fine. 4-4-4-5 is only slightly faster than 4-4-4-12 though.
how to flash back the bios ? from 2004 to 1707
can you use afudos off a thumb drive ?
Quick question, i search but didnt found it now, wich slots is the better choice to put ram? Orange or black? Thanks.
For the BIOS flash what I find easiest is to download the utility Asus Update v7.09.02 which works through Windows. Then download the zipped bios file here 1701 and open that file. Open Asus Update and choose "Update BIOS from File" in the drop-down menu as seen below. You can also choose Chek BIOS Version from that ame drop-down menu. Before you flash anything make sure our CPU isn't overclocked and your system settings are stable (I'm sure you know this).
For the memory question orange DIMMs are primary dual channel.
Using Asus update to flash back to an older BIOS has never worked for me as it always says current BIOS is a later version and wont flash. Use this linkQuote:

Flashing back to an older BIOS I can help with as I have just tried 2004 and gone back to 1707. Download AFUDOS 2.11. Get the BIOS version you want and rename it to P5WDH.ROM. Create Boot Floppy or USB Flash boot - create Boot flash with either HP one posted or this http://www.weethet.nl/english/hardwa...musbstick.php#. Copy AFUSOS and BIOS to floppy or USB Flash. If you are using Flash USB configure BIOS to change the boot sequence so that the USB flash drive is boot before a hard drive, and also disable "Legacy Diskette A" on the BIOS Main pageBoot . Insert drive/floppy - Boot to DOS and run afudos /ip5wdh.rom
I have just remembered that I forgot to to disable all CPU configuration settings especially virtulisation when I flashed the BIOS to 2004 which might explain my spurios BSOD with that version and why I am getting them when I flashed back. I might give it another try as others are giving it good posts - might be worh checking you CPU settings. You wheted my appetite as I am getting RAM with more potential so I have been looking into the dividers - more info on 4:5 2:3 dividers from EVA2000 http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...7&postcount=33 points to memory with trd=6 being the culprit. He also refers t MB/NB temps - I stuck a 40mm fan on my NB which I found helped a lot. Here some more which all poiunts to TRD=6 as the problem .http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/.../t-115729.html
trd=6 being the culprit was the problem
Back to where I was :D
I apologize I forgot I had the same problem trying to flash back with Asus Update, this program was obviously named literally
:(
no need now anyways
2004 is working fine.
Damn picky board
P5K will sort that out :)
so, my cpu and motherboard are dead.... :(
I was trying to install a thermalright MOSFET cooler without taking everything out, I tried to cut the stock cooler's push pins with a scissor. I ended up breaking one of the mosfets. I didn't notice all this till AFTER I turned the PC on and kept turning it on several times.
Two days ago I bought another P5w DH (rev 1.04G) and found out that the CPU was fried. I came to this conclusion after several hours of troubleshooting.
Anyway, to make a long story short... I now have a choice of either an E6600 or an E6700.
I have three questions:
What steppings / batch numbers should I be looking out for?
Is the E6700 worth the extra price? On my old board with stock NB cooling / CPU water cooling, the most stable I got was 340 FSB and 1066 memory on 3:4 divider. This was on high voltage settings. How much of an overclock can I expect from an E6700 with this board?
I have 2 gigs of HyperX PC2 9600 memory. I know it can go up to 1Ghz stable but is there any posibility of reaching it's rated speed of 1.2Ghz on a P5W dh?
I'm sitting on my litle bro's laptop writing this, I need some cheering up :(
EDIT:
my specs:
*NO CPU*
2gb of Kingston HyperX PC2 9600 1.2Ghz DDR2
P5W DH 1.04G
ASUS 8800GTX
Enermax Liberty 500W
DangerDen Black Ice GTX, Laing DDC pump, 1/2" tubing, Core 2 Duo TDX copper CPU block
Unlikely you'll hit 1200 ram on 975x. My P5WDH can't even do 1000 stable, only for some superpi :(
hmmm, crap.Quote:

Does the E6700 run cooler than an E6600 at 3Ghz+ ?
Oh yeah, I got 2 thermalright hr-05's and one hr-09 moset cooler (the one that got me into this mess!). How well do after maret coolers do with this board. I had high IHCR7 idle temps using the stck cooler even after cleaning and using Arctic Silver 5. The readings on SpeedFan were 32C to 37C idle after the pc was on for some time (41C on load). That's why I got the thermalright coolers, I was suspecting that this was the cause for my low overclock.
Have you tried reading or searching on this thread - its all about overclocking conroes on the P5W. If you seek ye shall find!Quote:

Fair point - I am having a bad day! Note that Lawrywild has 4GB of ram which will stress the memory controller (NB) more so the fact he gets near 1000 is pretty good. Plenty are running memory higher than that with 2 Gb but that may not be to their advantage. I previously posted this article http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/mem...ory-guide.html which indicates that if you are not setting FSB above 400 then you are best to run 1:1 with tightest timings. The only real difference between e6600 and e5700 is the mutiplier. Bang for buck its the e6600 as they clock pretty good - later ones seem to run a bit cooler nbut its still luck of the draw.Most get 3.4 -3.6 If you get lucky and have good cooling they go higher. Batch 28-32 seem pretty good - there a few post that the latest 44g are not very good for overclocking. Whats your setup - could be your case that is causing the NB temperatures to creep although I run about 33-34 with MCH=1.65v and thats with a 40mm fan on the NB after applying AS5.Quote:

I decided to drop a 40mm fan on top of the NB (after cleaning and reseating). Seems to work ok.
Edit: corrected 'usb port' for 'sata port'
You really don't need much cooling for the SB, if any at all. I have a thermaltake extreme spirit II running fanless and it's barely warm to touch. I'm sure it's fine to run the ICH7R with no heatsink at all.
thanks for all the replies, I appreciate it.

I was having problems getting the right ratio before my cpu burnt. I could only run the pc successfully at 1:1 or 3:4. Are there specific ratios that are best for the p5w dh?Quote:
The ASUS P5W DH Deluxe mainboard has certain peculiarities as concerns support for memory at overclocking. That is, many memory frequency divisors do not work when the FSB is overclocked. Until recently we could use that mainboard at a 400MHz FSB only to test memory at either 600MHz or 800MHz (FSB:DRAM divisors of 4:3 and 1:1, respectively).
would an e6700 go up to 3.8-3.9 with water cooling? If it can without hassles on this board I'll go for it - already wasted a lot of money anyway.
Where's the batch number? is it the 2 digits after the "L6"?
you mean sata port? yes, it needs to be slightly rotated to allow for accessing that port.Quote:

I did add a 120mm connected to the top of the case, but it blows only on the NB and CPU water block(which is water cooling anyway). So the back of the card is getting some air but the part where the heatsink and fan are has little airflow. I have an old pic before I put the 8800gtx in. The 8800gtx goes the whole length of the case, from the pci slots to the radiator:

So whenever the 8800gtx starts to heat up, it radiates it all on the SB. 54C and 65C are too much for a little SB I guess :p
Note the article conclusion was optimum CPU/memory performance 1:1 @400 FSB with tightest timings unless the FSB was clocked higher. It implies no gain of running @400 FSB with a 4:5 lots of people are running okay with 4:5 dividers above 400 but the board/BIOS doesnt work well with all memory. Re temperature from GTX -have a look at the Akasa exaust blower - if you mount it a coupl.e of slots below your card you should get a temperature drop. Also worth replacing the paste on teh card with AS5.Are you running the fan ay 100% - if not use Riva to do so - that will drop the temps quite a bit. E6600 vs E6700 is an interesting google! Personally I would sticj with an E6600 - there is no guarantee that an E6700 will overclock higher.Quote:

I have the card at 100% with riva yes. It still doesn't help with the SB, I think the card's temps are affecting it because there's no airflow. I was thinking of water cooling the card, I'll get the blower in the meantime.Quote:

Stick a 40mm fan on the SB - its effective and cheap. I take it you have peeled of the shiny covers from the NB/SB and as you have w/c stuck the little fan supplied with the P5W on the RAM heatsinkQuote:

Hey guys,
I recently bought a new pc, and put it together using this Mobo.
I have 2 Raptor HDD with a Raid 0 Setup (using a Raid adapter), My Dvd-Rom is connected to the IHC7 IDE port, and i have a separate IDE HDD connected to the JMicron IDE port.
My issue is that i cant seem to get IDE HDD to work (The one connected to the JMicron IDE). In bootup, the Jmicron device detects it, in Device manager it is detected as a SCSI HDD, but i cant access it via My Computer.
Is anyone else having this issue?
I had the same issue and swapped the DVD and IDE over which worked for me. In the end I changed everything to SATA drives and SATA DVD and ran of the ICH7. The Jmicron controller seems to get a lot of issues.Quote:

so i gather the only way to go past the 380fsb barrrier is to set memory to spd
i went from a p5b to the p5w all i can say is i'm dissapointed with overclocking results
doig some reading and i thing the folks at asus need to fix the bois timings for the memory
wierd my memory went past 1000mhz on old board @ 5-5-5-15 @2.1i cant get to 970 on the p5w @2.2v "ocz plat pc6400 4-4-4-15"
anyone here get past these problems
runnin an e6400 do other cpus like this board better ? lol or maybe is it my memory?
Not quite true - Its all down to what memory you have and whether your CPU will o/c past 380. I run 400 FSB 1:1 with corsair XMS on manual settings quite happily as do many other people . Why did you change boards as the P5B can generally run higher FSB?Quote:

i was debating the comando and the p5w the remote n wifi sold me lol
i know the cpu can do over 400fsb and the memory can do over 1000mhz
i got 2 more days to return the board i wished the retailer had a p35 board
the worst part is on the p5k you lose a pci slot after installing the video card lol
its weird the pc is plenty fast i cust cant resist overclocking it its my sickness
if i keep the board any suggestions for a cpu that likes this board better?
Well that sort of makes me wonder why I've had similair problems. I have a kit of Mushking 8500 that di 1200MHz on my Asus M2N32-SLI n that was with the bad 903 BIOS which eneded frying a stck! On the P5W DH I can't get Mushkin beyong 1080MHz? Of coure they replaced a stick and it's probably that stik holdin me back. I have to try the flash SPD program, but if the stick is dead I guess no go, but perhaps fklashing the new stick they sent maybe i has different SPD settings?Quote:

It's not that stick holding you back, it's the 975x chipset holding you back.
Try setting mem voltage to 1.9 - NOT 1.8 or 2.0 but 1.9Quote:

hi everyone
I have just recently bought a p5w dh deluxe as i have read many good things about this mobo,but i have a big problem,my fsb appears to be locked,cant shift it from 200,does not give me any options,
thought it was the bios 1506 so i updated it to 2004 but the problem is still there,i am a bit confused,i have e4300 which was fine on the p5n-e sli board i had other than a few limitations on ram.
would really appreciate any help or suggestion with this as i dont have any ideas to be honest,
wanted to tweak and play but dont think i will for a bit,
thanx in advance

I have to ask this as you have said the BIOS dosnt give you any options - I take it that you have set A1 overclocking to manual to get the overclocking parameters for FSB and VCore etc.Quote:
