okay :)
Sorry to jump in random here but I don't have the box and can't for the life of me find the serial number on the board. Is it on the board? Where can I find it?
ok, managed to get the board to have a more stable overclock now,
1.35v [default] now stays with in 1.33v under load with the QX6700 at 3.30 ghz [11x300]
also have speedstep etc working so it idles at 1.8ghz at about 1.1v which is great for my case temps
as i dont really have all 4 cores under load all the time.
Also got all 4 ram slots working at 1000mhz [pc5300] 12.4.4.4 which is great!
waiting for water-cooling now to overclock the chip more and GFX card
more :D
Bios version is 2205.
Yes, right where it says P5W DH Deluxe you will see a small number like Rev1.03G or so. Right above/next the RAM DIMM closest to the CPU.Quote:

Just flashed to the default 2004 now lawrywild, waiting for your definite report on the stability of your modded one and I'm flashing away :)
Seems all good to me, no problems thus far. :)
Alrighty then, wish me luck :D
Edit, flash succesful and everything seems to be working fine so far,

Yes, it's 1.02g but I'm looking for the SERIAL number to do an RMA. Should be something like 67MOAG... or whatever. I don't see it anywhere in that area, or are we talking two different things?Quote:

drjay2003,
P5WDH Serial Number: (two different boards, purchased 4months apart)
- side-panel of box

Here's the bios if anyone wants it:
P5W-DH-ASUS-Deluxe-2004-G0-45nm-Edition [BETA] Use at own risk!
I'm running Vista 64 Bit..
Asus update does not want to install on 64bit I guess.
I just took out my e660 and installed my Q6600 GO stepping..
Now on boot I get the message "INTEl cpu ucode loading error.
f1 To continue..
How do I flash the bios on Vista 64bit..
Currently using 2004 bios
Board rev. 1.02G
Hi, use a usb flash drive. Put the bios file on the usb drive and in bios, go to ez-flash 2 and use that.Quote:

PS: Oh yeah and give us results with that G0 on this board please mate! :D Lots of us are waiting for Q6600 G0's to plug in here :)
got lawrys modded bios and everythings a ok on my older revision p5w-dh board using a b3 e6600
Awesome :)
Now I just need someone with a G0 core to try it.
Thanks..Quote:

Can I have other stuff on my usb key aswell or just the bios?
If I use your bios is there any chance something could go wrong?
well done lawry for this thread i check it everyday, for all its faults i still think the p5w is the best all round motherboard i have had, i also found the 2103 a good stable bios but everyone seems top favour the 2004 so with your modded bios its the best of both worlds i suppose
That's correct and you can have other stuff on the drive no problem.Quote:

You have crashfree bios 3 available to you if it really did get screwed. If anything did go wrong though, most likely, you'd be able to atleast get into the bios to flash back to another bios. :)
I completely understand if you don't want to try it though.
Hi all.
First post here. But it's taken me ages to read through all the posts relevant to me.
I only had my first PC 4 years ago and everything I know, which probably isn't much compared to you guys, I taught myself - mainly through google!
So, a couple of weeks ago, I built my very first PC:
ASUS P5W DH MoBo
Intel C2D E6600 2.40GHz Conroe
2x1Gb Corsair XMS2 PC6400 RAM
ASUS EAX1950 Pro 256Mb Graphics Card
Quite a modest setup really, but to my surprise, the thing actually worked when I switched it on!
I've become very adventurous over the past few weeks and now the MoBo is in pieces awaiting some arctic silver 5 and a better CPU Cooler.
So, a big thank you to Lawry for starting this thread, to FreeCableGuy for his detailed guide on how to detach, clean and re-attach the NB and SB and to everyone else for their invaluable hints 'n tips.
Cheers
J
Ok I just tried 2005 bios using ez flash and no problem..Quote:

Does P5W-DH support E6850 cpu? I'm thinking of upgrading to this CPU but dunno whether it will work on this board. If it does support, any special memory requirement like faster DDR2 rams needed etc. I'm currently running on DDR2 5300/667 memory. Advise apprciated.
That CPU is supported since BIOS 2103.Quote:

- install 2206 with EZFlash 2 from USB flashdrive
- clear BIOS again (jumper, 10sec)
- set BIOS settings and reboot
- verify proper BIOS settings and power-off system
- set HD power to "on"
- power on system and boot to OS
RESULTS:
- no new "devices"
- no problems with onboard sound staying at "disabled"
- memory speed, temps, OCCT v1.1.1-b4, etc., all nominal
- did not test "multi" capability
- did not test Vista Ultimate 64b
Well I recieved mine yesterday via Canada Post..
It is indeed the Q6600 SLACR stepping..
Only took a week to get here from Vancouver..from Ncix
Total cost $321 including shipping.
This cpu was packaged on July12/07
Since installing today a few hours ago..
I also bought a new case yesterday, Antec Nine Hundred. dropped MB temps down from 48 idle to 34 awsome.
Everest is showing MB temp as 34 idle
CPU is 19-22 degrees idle BIG TYPOON IS AWSOME
I had to flash to a higher bios when I installed cpu on boot I would get this message. " Intel cpu ucode loading error F1 to resume"
It still worked just had to hit F1 each time.
Thanks Lawrywild.
I will try your bios later today when I arrive home from work.
Will I have any problem going from 2205 to your modded 2004
So far so good, 3dmark06 scores up a few hundred from my e6600 scores.
I would like to hit 10K with this setup, do you think it's possible.?
Thank you, I will try the 2006 today as well.Quote:

However, on the 1707 BIOS I get the problem documented in this thread that I can raise FSB only when I use SPD timings, and that kicks in around 300-330 FSB. That didn't use to be the in the 2004 BIOS. Obviously I can't do this. I have 8 GB RAM to drive and overlock at least 50%, so SPD values aren't gonna cut it.
Of course I can work around this with a variety of methods such as messing with the timings and divider after boot at low speed, this clock up, or by putting in new SPD values into the memory modules. It doesn't help that this BIOS doesn't have enough control over memory anyway.
But unless somebody has easier suggestions I'm afraid I'm through with this board. It sure is shiny and has no real clocking problems, but I really had it now with problems that Asus deliberately caused.
In any case, I greatly appreciate your help in this thread.
Saw it was linked earlier, noticed 2206 is now on the ftp.
ftp://dlsvr02.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/s...20DH%20Deluxe/
It was linked on the ftp earlier also. Been there for a day or two. ;)
What cpu are you using again?Quote:

It's a shame the sub-memory timings can't be tweaked ... or can they !
I still can't get my Corsair XMS2 rev 1.1 DDR2800 to boot at 1:1 with 400FSB and manual timings of 4-4-4-12
Hmmm, what voltage? Because I'm currently running Crucial Ballistix 1066 400Mhz 3-3-3-8 1:1 w/ 2.25vdimm for 24/7 use.Quote:

lol, I have the same problem, except mine is the opposite of your description - same thing with the vcore, sometimes its the value I picked, then on another boot its back at "Auto"! What a board.Quote:

I want a good bios...now.
Make sure that both the C1E and Intel SpeedStep options are disabled if you want to set Vcore manually else it will revert back to Auto ie. they are linked options.Quote:
same thing with the vcore, sometimes its the value I picked, then on another boot its back at "Auto"! What a board.
I wonder why this is so on this mobo cos they are independent options on my P5B Dlx and Commando boards.
Is it still a beta or does being on the ftp make it official? Or is it an official beta, lol.Quote:

By the way. Can anyone point me to a CORRECT picture to the vdroop pencil mod? The picture in the previous page is of a P5B Dlx.
I've googled my ass off but only found results for P5B deluxe's, and when I actually get a P5W page it's just about people saying how effective the mod was for them :D Or mods involving resistors n stuff
Thanks alot

Hey Lawrywild, maybe you can put this on the front page? Just a suggestion.
Ok. Done.
When you select 200 Mhz FSB, the bios, no matters what cpu you have (i.e 800, 1066 or 1333 Cpu), gives you the dividers relative to 533 and 800 strap:Quote:
Originally Posted by uOpt

Note that, with the 533 strap, you can have also 1000 and 1200 Mhz for the memory with 200 Mhz for the FSB...so you're right, why the hell you have only five dividers? Well, ask Asus...
Edit: Well, thinking about it, maybe when the Ram Multi is above 4X, the northbridge is not able to buffer the data between the Ram and the Cpu, so in this case is not Asus fault, but a limitation of the chipset.
When you select 300 Mhz for the FSB, the available straps are 800 and 1066:
450, 600, 750, 900 -> 1066 strap
800, 1000, 1200 -> 800 strap
Here's a table that i made sometimes ago where you can see all the available Ram multi as a function of the strap:
http://img74.imageshack.us/img74/1340/clp21zk0.jpg
The DDR freq is given by Multi x FSB.
Note that, for the P5W-DH, the last row and the 1333 strap column are not available.
I am aware of that, thanks...Quote:

i have 1.04G with BIOS 2004
when i boot i got New CPU Installed message press F1 to enter setup F2 to load default values and continue this happens very often
my first conclusion was the bios battery is weakened but when i entered the bios setup nothing change, they all set the way i set them, than i save the bios and exit. sometimes the new cpu installed message gone and more often i have to enter bios setup and exit and save changes many many times
finally after reading the user's manual i found a bios setup option in Boot > Boot Settings Configuration > Wait For "F1" If Error > Disabled
with that oiption disabled new cpu installed message still appear but doesn't wait for me to press anything, and continues entering windows xp
unfortunately my PC2-6400 4x1GB PNY RAM is detected as PC2-5300, and i need to manually put DDR2-800 in Advanced > Jumperfree Configuration > DRAM Frequency
so my workaround still has flaw, i managed entering windows but with PC2-5300
and for the last problem in ASUS website faq it said to use 4GB ram i need to enable memory remap feature in Advanced > Chip Configuration > Memory Remap Featured
i can't seems to find that option in BIOS setup and the BIOS only read 3200MB ram
and i'm using P4 631 if that matters
any comments would be much appreciated
I hate ASUS with passion. Technical support is the worst of anyone else, I swear I'll never buy another product from them. To explain why - my board died over a month ago, in June. Asus fiddled with RMA for a month only to send me an earlier rev of the board (1.03 instead of 1.04). When I complained, they claimed that I've sent in 1.02 according to the serial number (which was numerically larger than the 1.03 they have sent to me!). OK, I insisted so they carried out an investigation (a few more days). Well, they confirm I've sent in 1.04 and offer an equal replacement. Guess what? A week later I recieve another 1.03! WTF! I wish Asus was just wiped off the map, they do not deserve to exist.
EDIT: Alright, I'm venting a little, but really, just how stupid they think I am? I mean, each time they attach a piece of paper where it is indicated that I'm supplied with rev. 1.04 board but on the board itself it says 1.03... Jeez, what a bunch of incompetent fools.
OK, I won't say anything anymore :) Sorry about this, I just had to share this with someone. It's US ASUS, btw ;)
relax man, life is not perfect. I actually never had an issue like this with Asus and every warranty experiance which have been at least several fromvideo cards to motherboards have all been excellent. Just realize not everything goes perfect all the time, people make mistakes and trust me you are a lot better off with Asus then some other companies and their warranty procedures...Quote:

LOL, well the deal was I built a few rigs with the older P4P800 series and using an antec caes with the front usb header caused issues on 4 of them. Seems the header was not grounding properly (antec's fault) and it would cause the SB to fry. So that and one 6800 special gamer edition that served me for many year of overclocking and fail. The card was over 3 years old and Aus did not ask one question. I sent it in and 10 days later I had it back fully repaired. They are one of the best at warranty in my experiance...Quote:

Hey guys. I've been reading this thread for the past 6 hours..and still I couldn't find an answer to why my overclock isn't going over 3.0GHz. You guys seem to have so much more success than I am with this board. My overclock goal with my e6400 is 3.2GHz and I am currently unable to reach that goal. I need some help getting there and help is very much appreciated =).
I have a system set up with the following components:
Intel e6400 + Scythe Ninja Rev. B
Asus p5w dh deluxe BIOS 2206
OCZ platinum xtc 2x512 DDR2-800, Rated @ 4-5-4-15
eVGA 7600GT
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 SATA 3.0Gb/s 320-GB Hard Drive
Current stable (Orthos 8 hours) BIOS setup as follows:
CPU Frequency: 375 (Trying to get to 400)
DRAM: 750 (Trying to get 800)
Performance Mode: Turbo
PCI Express Frequency: 100
PCI clock synchronization mode: 33.33
Memory Voltage: 2.2
CPU Vcore Voltage: 1.4000 (tried to increase by 0.0125 increments to 1.5V)
FSB Termination Voltage: 1.30
MCH Chipset Voltage: 1.65
ICH Chipset Voltage: Auto (tried 1.20)
Config DRAM timing by SPD: Enabled (Tried 5-5-5-15 and 6-6-6-18)
DRAM ECC Mode: Disabled
Hyperpath 3: Disabled
DRAM Throttling: Disabled
C1 Control: Disabled
Virtualization Tech: Disabled
Intel Speedstep: Disabled
IDLE
Ambient Temperature: 24C
CPU: 38C
Core : 53C
LOAD (with TAT)
CPU: 50C
Core:65C
If everything stayed the way it was described above, except CPU frequency is set to 400 and DRAM @ 800, it will boot successfully into Windows, then be very unstable. If I let my system run for a while (surf a bit, chat a bit), I will eventually get a BSOD. When I start to run SuperPI or Memtest, the system will immediately freeze.
What other settings do I need to adjust to achieve 3.2GHz? Help is very much appreciated.
I can't think of anything other than your CPU, to be honest. :(
maybe turn off turbo mode?
Also I use 1.4v fsb and 1.55v mch
you have:
"FSB Termination Voltage: 1.30"
try 1.4 volts
so when is the next STABLE Bios available lol
meltdown this is.

And Gig4moller, I tried the CPU in my bro's P5k-C mobo @ 400FSB and everything ran smoothly =(.
Whats diff between turbo and standard mode, and do both honour the clock speeds for pci-e and pci?Quote:
Performance Mode: Turbo
PCI Express Frequency: 100
PCI clock synchronization mode: 33.33
Latest on my video problems.
I disabled intel speedstep and upgraded gfx drivers (had some trouble needed to use safe mode).
So far havent noticed anything major affecting video peformance and will be watching a few things after done this post to test it further, if this works I will try enabling speedstep to see if still ok, if speedstep was the cause of the problem I will be gutted since I wanted to run the cpu with lower power.
I've NEVER seen any difference between Turbo and Auto or Standard. Not in speed or clocks. There is a difference between the PEG Link modes on 3D performance and clocks though.
On a random side note, am I the only person who gets annoyed by the FSB always being 0.45555mhz above what is set? I just like to have my stock clocks to be like 2400.00Mhz not 2404.1 Mhz. But it's good at 370 fsb when you get 3333.3 Mhz :D
Hello everyone.
I am pretty sure this issue have been discussed elsewhere or in this thread but I couldnt find the info.
I just installed a e6850 (G0) in my p5w-dh board with bios 2205.
I have a 4gb kit of ocz (2x12024) with 5-4-4-12 stock timmings at 800mhz
http://www.ocztechnology.com/product...b_dual_channel
Now my only problem is that I cannot use my ram at 800 mhz. My bios either gives me 667 or 834. Is there a way to change and stay at ddr 800??
I have a friend that has a p5k premium board with the same cpu and ddr 800 memory and you can set the ram at 800mhz
Thanks in advance
Mcklain
The e6850 set the boot FSB to 333 Mhz, but the P5W continues to use the 1066 strap. Now, you get 800 Mhz for the memory with 333 Mhz FSB with the 2.4 Multi, that is however relative to the 1333 strap, that in this board is not selectable. The p5k has this option because her chipset supports officially the 1333 strap. So i'm sorry, but, in this board, it is not possible to select 800 Mhz for the memory with 333 Mhz FSB.Quote:

I just want to clarify I have this set correctly.
When loading XP x64 with Intel RAID 0 Should I keep 32-bit transfer disabled?Does it even matter with RAID?
Logic tells me that since it's a 64 bit OS I should not enable this option, but I just want to make sure this is correct. Anyone?

Just leave it at default.

I will replace my current Asus P5W DH Deluxe motherbord, OCZ 2GB PC2-4200 RAM and Intel E6700 processor, with a new Asus P5W DH Deluxe motherboard, OCZ 2GB PC2-5400 RAM and an Intel E6850 CPU.
If my new motherboard doesn't have the 2103 bios installed by Asus, can I bootup my system with my Intel E6850 processor to flash the bios with Alt+F2 method?
Second question, does anyone have a changelog of the revisions of the Asus P5W DH Delxue motherboard?
Revision 1.04G is the latest one?
Perhaps you should hang onto the E6700 a while as a fallback...Quote:

By the way, I'm still having this annoying problem that I havent found a fix for yet...
My P5W refuses to boot with 8x multi. It will boot fine at 9x400, but refuse at 8x400 or even 8x266 for that matter. I had this problem in 1707 bios, and I still have it with 2004. Does anyone know what causes this? :/
Just ordered my Q6600 G0, should have it tuesday. AWESOME! :D
It'll be a sh*t clocker though, always is. I'll be ready for needing 1.5v for 3Ghz or something :rolleyes:
nice to see you take the plunge lawry, it'll be interesting to see what fsb the go stepping quads reach on the p5w , where did you get it from scan
Does anybody know if this motherboard will support 45nm cpu in the future?
Nah Eclipse. See the other thread. £165 inc VAT.
I wanted to use Scan but I don't know how long they'll be and since I'm going away soon, I wanted to get it before I went.
I'm pretty certain, yes. The bios (2103/2205/2206) already have ther microcodes for 45nm ;)Quote:

I'm not going near 2205 or 2206, I'll test my 2004 and then 2103.
how the hell do i flash my bios. back to original. if i dont have a floppy drive??

USB flash drive. Make it bootable, put ms-dos files on, put afudos and bios on. Boot to it and voila.
If i am going to buy Q6600 is there possiblity that i will get the G0 ? how will i know which rev is it if i am going to the computer store, i could tell him to replace it with other if its not that, and they have computer there with internet so i could check the Serial number or anything else.
if you could tell me what to look for so i'll have some idea whatever its B3 or G0
i almost forgot the 2nd question, should i update to 2206 , i will must anyway if its G0, but if its not i dont want this beta to mess up stuff.
so its like if or if, should or should, because if they dont have the G0 at all i wont have the upgrade, but if they do i will need to check it so i will make sure i have to update. please inlight me m8s :D
thanx
Look for SLACR on the box, rather than SL9UM which is B3.
You can use my modded 2004 bios, 2103, 2205 or 2206. Your choice.
Awsome m8, any chance you could give me a screenshot of a cpu in a box which is G0 ?Quote:

i knew that but as i posted earlier the BIOS reads 3200MB instead of 4096MB because i can't find memory remap feature enableQuote:
