Haven't seen that before - the CPU o/c okay on your previous board. ? have you got anthor CPU you can try on the board or another board to check the CPU on? If not I would go back to build basics. What PSU do you have? - check 24pin and 4 pin 12v connectors. Take the board battery out - clear cmos . Take the CPU out -clean and reinstall with one stick of ram and the video card and try again. If it dont work I would RMA the board.Quote:

I guys:up: I am from Portugal, it's my first post.
I have a Asus P5W DH Deluxe, Allendale 3.2Ghz @ Ultra 120 Extreme, Corsair Value Select PC2-5400 1Gb DC 667Mhz.
I have a problem, after a bought my Thermalright I tried to make some OC, but there are a few problems with it.
If I set in the BIOS 1.35V Vcore, its not what appears in the hardware monitor, it appears 1.28V is this normal?
One more thing, I just can't boot with 400Mhz of FSB and SPD Disable, can someone explain this?
Thanks, and sorry for my English.
i set mine @ 1.375 i get 1.325Quote:

i was thinking of sending it back"2 days left" n getting the comando but i dont really need that high of an overclock since the 975 chipset is faster
i was thinkin of the p5k deluxe but all you get is a better overclock right?
it seems the p5k is slower that the 965chipset
any thoughts on this?
Good start with the P5W -lol. Heres a good o/c start guide which indicates all the BIOS settings ro disable http://forumz.tomshardware.com/hardw...ict197995.htmlQuote:

ZSAMZ - you should check out the guide as it will answer most of your questions. The P5W has a .5v vdroop BIOS setting against actual reading reported in windows
I think that news chip7 needs to have the compatibility with DDR3, and some more experience i think
Maybe its too soon to buy a new mobo like P5K and it doesn't support DDR3, only Asus P5K3 deluxe support it.
Its my opinion, if we want a new mobo, with support for the future we need to think about DDR3 and other technologies that could appear.
Bye;)
Is anyone actually using the matrix RAID AS matrix RAID?
How I mean is well I'm using just RAID 0 atm but the whole point of Matrix technology is you can RAID 0 some of the drive and RAID 1 the rest, so if one drives fails, you only lose the RAID 0'd stuff and the RAID 1 stuff is still there on the living drive - but you get the benefits of the extra speed on the RAID 0 section and security on the RAID 1 section.
I hope to try this on my next Vista install..

Only 23 pages, but well worth the read.
Sorry asking this but after I read sesdave post, and checked the link to the guide, I realize this:
With this mobo we can't set manual timmings in the BIOS?? I have 400FSB and the mobo just don't boot with SPD disable in the BIOS...
:up:
Thanks a lot and yeh, at first I thought there would be some kind of performance loss with this technology on the RAID 0 side of things, but when you consider you're only using the first sections of the drive, the performance is crazy.Quote:

Enjoy!
Here's what I am thinking:
Would It be better to have 3 RAID 0's rather than 2 with one being partitioned in half?
EDIT: errr LOL that first bit is supposed to say 10GB per drive :p:
and btw the 600GB isn't an error too lol, that's how much they total when formatted :p:
Edit2: actually, 20Gb isn't enough for Vista, would have to be 30 or 40GB but that means lower performance :( lol.. :D

Sorry mate... you're absolutely right lol. I haven't used 2 x drives for a while now and completely overlooked that aspect. :clap:Quote:

Not true - remember its only a guide not a bible! Only some have to use SPD enabled to boot above 370. There could be many other reasons why you cant run 400 with manual settings on memory. Do you know if you CPU can run 400 FSB - you arent guaranteed that it will. What settings are you using in the bios for your overclock.Quote:

Hi guys,
I have been upgrading my renderfarm to Q6600s, and I am wondering if it is even worth trying on my P5W-DH boxes?
I have done ok with my P5B Deluxe/P5K Deluxe systems, getting 3456 to 3500 MHz on air. (thank you Ultra 120 Extreme!)
I have heard terrible things about the P5W and Q6600s - anyone had any success with them?
well its official my p5w pissin me off
? u guys recommend the commando or the p5k or the p5k deluxe
i am gettin the q6600 in july
P5K Deluxe
What are the benefits of the 2004 BIOS? Any at all?
P5K Deluxe is what I'll be gettingQuote:

A general point which I hope most agree with - as of late there a quite a few posts b****ing about this board. I thought the purpose of this thread is for people to state P5W problems and get advice from the large audience of people who have good experience in overclocking especially on this board. That way all can achieve the best performance they can from using this board. Be nice to keep it focused on that and the posts informative!.
Well all I have is praise for this board, since August last year it has not missed a beat! I have had no problems with ram timings,no problems with raid 0 and since changing from a l624a to l644g it sits happily @3.6 with manual timings.I can not say the same about previous Abit or Gigabyte boards!:D
I agree that this is one seriously stable mobo - after settling the early teething Jmicron driver issues, been running mine without much problems till now.
Still on BIOS 1506, I wonder if the latter BIOS versions allow a manually selected Vcore and still allow EIST/C1E to work (just like on my previously owned P5B Dlx)?
I am running with 400FSB, full stable with orthos, but with very bad timmings, I don't know if it is because of the BIOS version, mine its 1901 and I have tried 2004 also.Quote:

I don't think we're going to get anymore updates for this mobo, since the chipset mobos are coming out.
Are you trying to run 1:1 DDR800 with the memory in you signature . If you are I am suprised it runs at all at that speed with any timings !. You could really do with some 2 x 1GB PC2-6400 at least. What timings are you using..Quote:

That corsair I think has same chips as my old ADATA stuff which did ddr2-920 4-4-4-12 with 2.2v so it's not bad stuff ;)
i'm keepin board cause its stable
tried flashing back bios to 1701 but afudos cant load bios
had renamed it P5WDH.ROM
tried by usb verry weird
p5w just died lol
rma here i come :)
Lawrywild: I was just checking the pics of your rig in your sig, and was wondering what chipset heatsinks you are using on the NB and SB. I've been having problems trying to install the Thermalright HR-05 on the NB (retaining clip supplied doesn't work), so am looking for an alternative.
Additionally, you seem to have kept the original mosfet heatsink, which suggests you cut the heatpipes. Is this as simple as it looks, or is there a secret to it?
They're thermaltake extreme spirit II's and yeh, it's as easy as it looks.
I have tried running with 800Mhz and 600Mhz with my mems, the SPD was enable because even with 1:1 or 4:3 the computer just wont boot with SPD enable.Quote:

Tanks for helping me:up:
Yeah, they aren't Micron for sure sesdave. (my ADATA's weren't Micron ;) )
Mine also did not boot manual timings. It was definately the ram like I've said right from the start of this thread. Same board now with 4GB Ballistix and booting manual timings is no problem at all.
I was lucky and sold mine right before the price drops on ebay and managed to basically trade budget ram in for D9 Ballistix at no extra expense :D
Ra7or, if you can, I suggest trying to sell the ram and get some D9 while it's so cheap. I recommend Ballistix ofcourse ;) plus Crucial have an amazing RMA service.
Thanks for the advise;) I am going to do some more OC and than bye bye value pack.Quote:

Woohoo, finally I got a hold of a BIOS editor which will open recent AMI bios files :D
http://rapidshare.com/files/34110860/AMI_tool_8_RC1.rar
Run AMIBCP.EXE in the archive then open a ROM. Thing is there isn't much to edit in a P5WDH bios :(
There's actually a lot you can change if you open up the tree like structure for various sub-menus.Quote:

Hi all,
I have a 6420 C2D with P5W DH. Right now I'm using Geil DDR2 800 modules.
I can get 400 MHz FSB, 800 MHz memory, but only with SPD which produces awful timings.
I can also get 333 MHz FSB, 1000MHz memory, 5-5-5-15 manual settings.
I'm thinking to get G.Skill 2GBHZ memory modules because I heard they can post 4-4-4-12 timings in SPD. It seems that regardless of what memory is in the banks, the P5W won't post with 400 MHz FSB unless SPD is enabled.
Do the G.Skill modules actually produce SPD 4-4-4-12 at 800 MHz? Anyone have any other memory recommendations? My target is 400 FSB with 4-4-4-12 timings at 800 MHz.
Thanks,
RoughTrader
Erm maybe you want to read 5 posts above yours :rolleyes:Quote:

Before I buy, I want to make sure these modules will SPD to 4-4-4-12 with P5WDH. Any info on this?
Thanks,

Whats the max fsb for a q6600 on this board?
No everything will run 5-6-6-18 with SPD timings above 266fsb.
That is entirely dependant on the board itself and the cpu.Quote:

Well the P5K something (probably deluxe) will be my investment for sure. I had all sorts of trouble with this combination and just kept tweaking the settings. But the one that got it to boot and stay booted at 3240 was setting the MCH to 1.85v and it started to respond but then I ran into the vcore problem.:( Been running @345 FSB and Folding@home 24/7 for the last three days with core temp averaging around 52 deg at the hottest core so it seems pretty stable.:)Quote:

Edit - my mistake its booting from SPD EEPROM. So u could probably use editor to change SPD on most memory to tighter timmings and a VDIMM mod (or BIOS edit ?) default volts if it need more than 1.8v after CMOS clear..
What is the corsair model number for your memory?Quote:

Thanks.
My Corsair Ram xms6404v1.2 0626098-3 Micron D9Gxx (B6-x) runs at manual speed timings 1/1 @400fsb I assume because it is D9s used on early revisions.
Yes - its rev 2.1 so its Promos chips. Runs fine 1:1 @400 but dont o/c much. If you want to run FSB higher or tigher timmings you would be better of with Micron D9s as lawrywild has indicated as it offers a lot more o/c capability. Heres a RAMlist for what chips are on what memory - doesnt have latest higher rated stuff.Quote:

Also check one of my previous post which has a link to an memory article which concludes that FSB 400 1:1 DDR800 with tightest timings is better than running FSB 400 4:5. unless you o/c the CPU above 400 FSB.
Thanks for the info!Quote:

Weirdest thing happened to me just now:
I started a video encoding job pegging my CPU at around 100% load.
The drive attached to the silicon image controller starts going nuts. At first I'm in a command prompt browsing directories, then next I can't list files in a few directories, then many directories.
I check event viewer and see the following:
- The device, \Device\Ide\iaStor0, did not respond within the timeout period.
- The shadow copy of volume F: could not create shadow copy storage on volume F:.
- The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume \Device\HarddiskVolume4.
Stuff on other drives were fine, no signs of instantaneous corruption.
I did a warm boot and the BIOS gets stuck detecting the drive on the SIL controller. Cold boot, it detects fine and I can access all of the files no sweat. Chkdsk reports no problems!
Damned Asus and EZ-RAID ports.
hi
i've problem with a p5wdh and 4 dimm pc5300 value corsair
when i put only 3 dimm system boot correctly but with one more system can't boot
windows xp didn't start
i 've test the 4 dimm they are ok and the 4 slot of the motherboard they 're ok too
i down know what's the matter this MoBo support 8Go normaly so..
i'm waiting for help thanx
I am unable to use 4 GB of the OCZ Platium Rev2 RAM on this mobo. Has anyone been able to do it? Boots up fine but Windows crashes after a few mins. Orthos also is a NO GO.
The only option I see is to exchange the additional 2 GB I got for some 4 GB of other brand...unless you guys have any suggestions.
Mem voltage: 2.0
Memory Remap: Off
Works perfectly with 2GB, very stable but No go with 4 GB
Try to enable memory remap. Mine is working great with 4GB and Vista Ultimate 64 (2GB G.Skill 6400HZ + 2GB OCZ 8500SLI).Quote:

How do I rset the SPD to factory settings?
up plz
Have you tried raising the memory voltage top 2.2VQuote:

The power consumption in watts for the Q6600 is approx 102W measured off 12V rail between CPU power circuitry at LOAD, the power consumption for an e6600 is 61W LOAD using the same measurement technque (LOAD = Prime95 x4).
I belaive the P5K is your best bet for this chip, in act the P5K is the best bet period, hence the Crazy Eddie price, "Insane"
memset doesnt change the memory SPD. That will be what it was when you bought them. Memset allows you to change memory settings in windows and apply them at windows startup if you hit 'save' which sounds like what you have done. I would uninstall memset and apply any manual settings in the BIOS. If you still want to use memset change settings and use apply which only applys the changes for the duration of the windows session. Once you are happy they are stable then save or set manually in BIOS.Quote:

I never installed memset, its just a standalone exe in a folder called "MemSet" - doesnt even load at startup, so how would it be integrated with windows?Quote:

Hi guys,
I want to know if one of you have made a bios mod for these mobo with the American trend program's? I ask you because i have the locked multiplayer on my qx6700 and anymore bios that i tested unlock it!
Can you help me with a bios mod? Thank you
Very good question. The answer is no, not yet at least. Only BIOS 1506 and earlier allow changing the multiplier on Extreme CPU's. I don't know why Asus is being as pathetic to not understand this.Quote:

With my latest P5W DH I have broke into the 12minute50xx range with G.Skill HZ
You will note I had to loosen the timings just a bit!

Hello, i need some help...
What ram shold i select? i shall have 4GB
Corsair Dominator TWIN2X6400C4D 2048MB, DDR2,2x1GB(KIT),DHX,E.P.P, CL4-4-4-12T
or
Crucial DDR2 BallistiX PC8500 2048MB CL5 ,Kit w/two matched BallistiX 128Megx64
I am currently running at 395 x 8 = 3.2 ghz, and are not planning to overclock any more, maybe raise it to 400, time will show...
Is it possible for the the P5W DH to boot up from a RAID card? I have a Rocket Raid 2310 PCI-E card with 4 x 320GB HD's and want to boot using these as I'm planning on getting rid of the Raptors.
Does anyone know if it's possible to run one IDE DVD burner and one IDE HDD on the same IDE cable/channel on this board? I have one IDE HDD and one IDE DVD burner in my system, and it's so annoying that I have to use separate IDE cables for both of them. I have yet not gotten it to work, no matter what I've tried. It would make my cable management so much easier if I could ditch the other IDE cable!
easiest fix for this board ??
Buy a P5K Deluxe...... all your problems go away :yepp: :D

Well graham if all you are getting is 3600 with those lame memory timings , uh...... no thanks. Come back showing a daily clock of over 4050mhz with your p5K on air or liquid and I'll take a look as long as it has tight timings and can run pi in under 13 and hits over 23,000 on cpu score on aqmk3 and over 3500 cpu score on 3D06 and if not . go crap a different thread cuz 3600 is embarrasingly low and lame!

Only thing I dislike enough on this board to make me want to change it, is its crappy ram clocking ability. I can't even reach ddr2-1000 stable grrrr. I know some boards are better but mine just sucks with ram clocking but can do decent fsb on air, kinda strange...

Hi,
Im new to this forum so i hope this is the right place to post
I am having problems booting up my computer, my specs are as follows and all components are new;
Intel Core2DUo 6420
2Gb Corsair Ram
**Asus P5W DH Deluxe**
**Antec P150 with NeoHE 430W**
The light on the mainboard is on when the NeoHE's power switch is turned on but the machine only occasionally powers up when the cases' power button is pressed. It sometimes powers up fine, sometimes not at all and sometimes comes on 30secs to 10minutes later. I have rebuilt the system out the case many times and bought a 2nd Asus P5W DH Deluxe to check if i had a faulty mainboard but the problems persist.
I would like to RMA my case+PSU but i have read that the Neo HE series did have incompatiblilities with this mainboard, is this the case? I dont want to RMA it only to find that the PSU works fine and theres just an incomaptibility between components.
Please could you suggest what i should do next,
Thanks in advance
So, now that it's summer time here on the east coast and with things heating up i decided to grab another case fan and Northbridge cooler to keep the temps from raising in the warm weather...
First off i went with the easy install and threw in the case fan and attached it to Chassis 1 pins. Powered up, and nothing. Moved it to Chassis 2 and still nothing. hrmn. Plugged it into CPU and guess what, nothing. So the thought was that the fan is defective but i decided to prove it by unplugging one of the Power fans ... guess what this time, it worked! The deal was the same with the NB cooler so it's not defective products that i bought.
Trying to resolve the issue i tried default BIOS settings, various Q-Fan on/off and all sorts of combinations. The bottom line though is that with default settings everything should work, right? One thing i've noticed in the BIOS fans settings is a N/A reading for all but the PWR fans.
As a side note - PC Probe is not detecting any sensors whatsoever and i can't see or modify the position of the monitoring panels, it's stays stuck on "right" no matter where i change it. WHen i hit config, all i see is a blank white box .Could this somehow be related? CPU-Z, SpeedFan and Core Temp all seem to be working fine.
Is there something blatant that i'm missing or could it be a corrupt BIOS issue(2004)? I've looked here and elsewhere but can't find anything similar. Any ideas?
Well I took delivery of my 14th P5W DH today I Have had great success with the previous 13!! Well I had to pull my P5N-E sli board out of WZ3 first. So tonight I tore apart one system and put together 2. A few shots of the action
It came from the Egg!!

I repaired widows so I could get my Intel ICH7 raid drivers back on so my raid would work. Then had to reinstall all the Windows updates including service pack 2. So while that was happening I put my P5N-E sli back together.
Oh and here is the speed I have been running right out of the box!!

See it is easy to get these P5W DH boards to run nice and fast!!!
Their little brothers too!
You will note I run G.Skill 6400HZ on both systems.
I also put on bios 2004

Gday
Im new to this sort of thing and have been researching overclocking over the last few months.
I have been able to get my pc to 3.4 Ghz but sorta chickened out and am now running at 3ghz.
My question relates to Ram timings on this motherboard.
When i first overclocked the Cpu the motherboard automaticly chose 3200 as its ram setting and after reading this forum i have changed it to 834 Mhz. It now correctly shows me as 6400 in the bios post. I hope im making sense here. And now my question.
Since now my ram is running at 416Mhz will this make me out of sync with the bus speed of the cpu 333 mhz and is it safe to do this since i cant determine the temperature of my ram ?
I hope you can give me a few pointers as i have tried to make sence of all the forums but still have many questions.
My current specs are: ( is this a good system for overclocking ? )
