Does anyone know on Speedfan, what temp3 is?

Temp 1 is the mobo, i am positive on this
Temp 2 for me is the CPU, i know this also
temp 3 I have no idea. Its hanging around 42c now, but maybe a month ago it used to be like 80-120c on idle and would fluctuate randomly. But now all of a sudden its like 40-60c. And sometimes it will increase when CPU increases in temps, but it doesnt always.

HD0- HD temp

the problem I mean is that if you power on your pc from a cold boot, the fans and hd`s are going on and off like 3 times, this is killing your hardware if you do this 365 times a year :rolleyes:

I have 1 gb of these rams already, if i upgrade to 2gb do i need faster speeds? or is this good enough?

Is there a heat issue witht his mobo? What other duo 2 mobo is very cool?

what are PEG Root Control and PEG Buffer Length

PEG Root Control = Auto , Disabled,Enabled ?
PEG Buffer Length = Auto, Slow,Normal ?
Link Latency =Auto Long,Slow ?
Slot Power = Auto ? or one of the rest, light-er,normal,heavy-ier?

and do u have like Shutdown when u restart in windows and then back on when u go above 320FSB ?
^
does it ok ? the system like going off and then back on after 2sec alone.

Quick question. Do 1.65v MCH boards have a different revision?

go to the as web page and read carefully on how to apply it, and then follow those instructions carefully.

Well, since my IHS and infinity are so flat, the more I add the less contact between the 2 surfaces... kinda like filling in a flatland as opposed to a mountain range.

Any one think my logic is flawed?

To rephrase: "the more you lap, the less AS5 you should use"

---------------------------------

e6700 [Lapped] @ 3.5 Ghz 1.55v [Scythe Inf. Lapped]
Asus P5W DH 1407
x1900xtx @ 675/1600 [Accelero X2]
x1900 CF @ 675/1600 [Accelero X2]
2 GB Corsair VS 4-4-4-12 @ 700Mhz 2.1v
74GB WD Raptor
250 WD Caviar
BenQ 1655
BenQ 1655
5x 120mm Scythe 1600RPM Fans w/Controller
Enermax Noisetaker 600w
NEC 20wmgX2

Your logic has nothing to do with how you apply the AS5.
It's true that the more you lap the less you need, but you still need to apply the dab. Just a slightly smaller dab instead. It still has to spread out so the core part that radiates the heat directly to the Heatsink is covered.

Trust me.
please.
DO NOT spread AS5 on a IHS !
It does NOT matter how flat it is !!!
Air bubbles *WILL* get trapped when you apply a surface to another one covered with AS5.

By applying the "rice dab" method, in the middle, it starts in the middle then gets squeezed out by pressure evenly. And since the CPU die is in the middle of the IHS......well... the part that needs the contact gets it----without air bubbles.

The outer perimeter of the IHS is inconsequential. Virtually no heat transfer occurs there.

Now, applying AS (ceramique is safer) to the southbridge is a different story, as the chip covers the entire surface; there the 'dab' method won't work.

PC-5300/PC-5400 (DDR2-667) is fast enough unless you plan to significantly overclock.

I too put vCore to 1.60v, following the lead - not as brave.

Core Temp Beta temps are 48/47 C right now on air.

That's been the only way to get me past 3.2GHz in BIOS.

I assume you meant 1.85vmch? All of the older boards should have 1.65vmch but only those with serial 68MOAG will be 1.85vmch. Also below the ram slot it should be atleast 0628

Amen.
My board barely made the cut. But it did...
0628, 68moag, i think the serial was like 113000 or 117000, borderline....

i have an E6600 L626 running at 3510Mhz vcore 1.5V on p5wdh dlx 1.85vmch version :D

Do the 1.85v mch versions run hot?

my 1.85v mch board ran no hotter than my 1.65v mch board even when overclocking. My 1.65v version could pi @ 420-422 FSB and 3DMark up to 412FSB. My 1.85v could pi up to 440 FSB with stock "9" multiplier & 450 FSB with "8" multiplier & 3DMark06 up to 423 FSB.

Interesting, my 1.85v board runs (or reports at least) 4-5 degrees higher than my 1.65v - at same settings, same CPU, same cooler and fan etc.

Still VDroop I presume on new rev ?

vdroop is there on purpose. i'd assume it will always be there unless u mod your board
10-05-2006, 03:49 AM

what is vdroop?
10-05-2006, 08:53 AM
hot_fifty

it is when your cpu is loading the vcore will droop

hi guys,
well, i have like cpu with bad mojo or i'm just doing something terribly wrong. i got e6300 on p5b dlx with 2x1gb of goodram, 7600gt and a wireless card. the thing is i just can't get any serrious speed out of this thing now that i got oc. the last stable speed is at 330fsb, i tried like everything. got the bios stuff like in that thread, i'm runing 1:1 with ram which i think is not the problem since i had them runing stable at 500ddr, put the vcore to 1.4, cpuz reads like 1.352, bumped up the other voltages too, temperatures are nice since i got big typhoon cooling the thing, disconected everything i don't need in bios which is 0507, i could upgrade it but thisone should do it too. i can't get even 1m of pi at >335 fsb, the last idea i had was just to give it more juice but then that is quite high so i first decided to ask here what to do if anyone can do magic or i'll just have to settle for puny 2310mhz. thanks for all the help.

You're using 0507 ?? Does that even -support- C2d ? I thought you had to have 701 -minimum-.

Flash it to 1305. That version is trouble free for everyone, just use the ezflash in the bios.

And the only reason you're limited to 333 fsb is because I bet you didn't disable hyperpath 3. Disable that.

Awesome , asus keep going on !:clap:

seems P5W doesn't have so many issues for you .. :slapass: :slapass:

May give a try with abit AW9 ( doesn't like the only pci too close to 2nd PCI-e ) or the RD600 or the next DFI nForce 680i ...., please come quickly ...:p:
