For those using the 1.85 Mch boards, particularly those that have tries 1.65 Mch in comparison to 1.85 Mch boards.
You all keep saying that you have better OC results with the 1.85 Mch boards. Are you getting better OC at the same Mch settings (implying the 1.85 Mch boards are actually more stable) or are you only getting a better OC as a result of using the settings above 1.65 Mch???
In my experience the boards overclock exactly the same - the higher than 1.65v only helps if you are pushing the FSB above 430 FSB or so.Quote:

Until those E6600 B's hit the states there's really no need for 450 FSB because no may cpu's run over 4ghz without phase, which this board suxs for.Quote:
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.
Hi all,I'm new in this community and in overclocking area :)
My name is Richard and
I have P5W DH Deluxe (Bios 1305),
Core 2 Duo E6300,
2x256 DDR2 Ram,
ATI X700 256Mb
I have some problem though with my older USB devices...:(
After installing Windows XP SP2 and all the drivers I shutdown the computer and turn the power off.
When I turned it on again it stop responding...
After the windows logo was gone it just stay blank...
after I tried to unplugged all the USB Devices and restart,
everything just fine,the windows start normally...
All the driver is already updated (or some of them is just windows driver)
here are my USB devices list:
- Canon D660 USB Scanner
- BAFO B120 Infra Red Dongle
- HP 3900 Series USB Printer
- US Robotic 56k Fax Modem USB
- Logitech USB Mouse
- USB Hub
- Gravis Gamepad Pro USB
- Intel PC Camera (WebCam)
And of course the USB Device that came with the Motherboard,The InfraRed Dongle for the Remote, which is i think is useless :p:
What do you think is wrong ?
Thank you to let me join this forum
Why don't you try to disconnect the USB devices one by one to find out which one is causing the problem?Quote:

Hi guys,
I have had this problem for awhile and I cannot seem to figure out what it is, hopefully you can help me!
Obviously I am using the P5W DH mobo currently on BIOS version 1305 (whatever) with a Core 2 Duo E6600, GeForce 7950GX2, 2GB GeiL 6400 RAM, Seasonic S12 600W PSU, Seagate Barracuda 300GB HDD. I have cleared the CMOS, already.
Now the problem happens randomly, sometimes it happens less to not at all but also more often then not (like recently). What happens is, when I boot the system after leaving it off for sometime (like overnight) it will sometimes startup, get all the fans running, HDD spinning etc.. but no signal will go to the monitor, there is no boot as the internal speaker stays silent and it'll sit there spinning away without booting until I unplug it from the mains power supply for a few seconds and then plug it back it and try again. Once I do this everything works.
As you can imagine this is quite annoying after awhile, can anyone think of what it might be?
Any help would be great, thanks.
Hey Seigal12, i had the same problem, no idea why, i was even thinking of RMA my ATI x1900xt but then i found it wasnt my gpu, i get annoyed also when this happens, thats the reason i never try to turn off my computer lol...
My question here, and hello im a newbie over here :) is that i cant move the FSB over 350, i can OC with the Asus autooverclokc feature and i reached a nice 3000 mhz, though i want more from my E6600, just to make some benchies and stuff.
My rig is: P5w Deluxe, 2x1 GB OCZ gold (4-5-4-12), 2x80 gb sata, ati x1900xt and Intel core duo e6600.
I did move the voltage, t he mem volt also, i have readt a lot and seen pictures of similar computers with a higher OC (3.2, 3.4, 3,6 etc) and i do copy/paste to their settings and cannot seems to make it, i have readt that to move the FSB past 360 or so in these boards is a bit problematic, but i cannot find a way to do it, i had 1201 bios or something like that, though i flashed yesterday to the newone that Asus just released to see if something changed, but nothing happened..
Any help would be apreactiated, i tried to read all of this post but 50 pages is way a lot, i did read like 15 pages and found nothing to help my problem. Thanks in advance!
Are all of these chained off one or two USB ports?Quote:

I used the two-plug USB connector (that goes in a card slot opening) they supplied, attached to a USB connector next to the PCI slots, as an internal 'hub' to feed a real USB hub in a 5-1/4 opening and a USB card reader in a 3-1/2 slot. You might want to use it in an open slot to get yourself another couple of no-strings-attached ports in the back.
If you already did that, maybe it's time to get another one since there are at least two internal USB connectors...
The board comes with it's own proprietry Infrared dongle, which has control to the power on/off function even without drivers installed. If you have your infrared dongle plugged into one of these usb ports that will be what's causing your problems. Try moving the IrDA dongle to one of the top usb ports ;)
I thought it was in the port nearest the sound connectors.( bottom) Or do you have your board inverted?Quote:

btw, did some testing with hyperpath3, compared mch configuration registers, both hp3 on and off.
the only thing i noticed different - was that when hp3 was on - tRD was set to 5. Normally p5w sets it at 6. and that was pretty much it.
maybe there's some additional hidden settings also which i believe/hope to be the case.
Yes, your right, they're the ones designed for the Asus proprietry IrDA dongle. I was saying not to use them if he's using a dongle other than the Asus one, and if it's not being used for the remote, because this might cause problems with the remote on/off feature of the board that's hard-wired to those usb ports.Quote:

Hey thanks for answering about my problem. I did try 1407 (wich is the latest bios right?) but still couldnt hit over 333 FSB if i move to 334 FSB the comp wont boot, and i did try a lot of options, hyperpath3 disable, cpu and mem volt bump, mch volt also, pci-e 100 or 101, etc, but i just cant make it over it :( right now i moved to another bios wich was supossed to be the best (1305) and still the same problem.... :(Quote:

Stick to 4-4-4-12-4 or 5-5-5-15-5 timings with sufficiënt voltage to your ram.
And try to run it at 1:1
Up to 435MHz I don 't need more than 1.55V vmch...
HP3 disabled, fancy PCI-e-:banana::banana::banana::banana: to disabled or "normal"...
Maybe post an everest-sensor-screen to see if all the temps are ok.
I got this board today, and quite honestly the SATA setup on this board is a bit confusing. I have 2x 200GB SATA WD's that I want to set up in RAID 0. I figure I should run them on the Intel controller for best performance, but which SATA connectors should I use? 1+3?
Then I have 2x 320GB SATA WD's that I want to use for storage, ie, no RAID. Which ports should I use for these? The EZ ports?
I am interested in the EZ-RAID ports too, but for another reason. I am running 3 WD2500KS drives striped together on ports 1,3 and 4. Port 2 is split between the 2 Sil EZ RAID ports. Now I have a SATA DVD Writer and wanted to use one of the EZ RAID ports, but it apears that you cannot run them in normal SATA mode. I Haven't had much time to play with the RAID1, RAID0, BIG jumper block, but I have a nasty feeling that they will make no difference, the SATA Writer pretty well gets picked up as an unknown device, so I have it running off the Jmicron controller. This works just fine but it slows bootup somewhat and Ideally I would like it on the SIL controller. Anyone else had this or got it working in the way I would prefer?
Cheers,
Nick :).
If you put the jumper to 'BIG' then you can use the EZ raid ports as single sata drives, I have - works fine.
