The southbridge heatsink is very hot to the touch, whereas the NB heatsink is pretty much cold... not sure whether I've just got a bad contact on the NB or not.
I've taken the cover off the southbridge but haven't yet mounted a fan to it. Can I get a 10mm fan on and still be able to use Crossfire? Will a 10mm fan even make much difference?
It is getting the SB temperatures...Quote:

Why oh Why are people Enabling Virtualization Technology When it only gives gains if you are running VM sessions, Like running a VMWARE server or Micorosoft Virtual Machine software. I dont get it. I see so many people on here with it enabled, but it doesnt help anyone.
Default is ENABLED... So why disable? :p:Quote:

This is my EXACT experience as well. Week 23 on air. 24/7 Orthos stable @ 1.45V, anything over that requires WAY too much voltage and produces WAY too much heat.Quote:

Then again, on AIR (Zalman CNPS7000Cu if I'm correct) I could run 378*9 without much problems... Hyperpath 3 disabled?
Well 2.4ghz to 3.2ghz on AIR isn't THAT bad for an OC :p
ofcourse ES samples got us to much hyped :(
Yeah, I just need to be happy with an 800MHz OC.
This thing is so much faster than my A64 box was in every way...so...
Somethin' about seeing 3.6GHz on the BIOS screen though just sparks up an inner greed in me like nothin' else, hehe. :)
Almost greedy enough to go get an E6700...and that's just silly. How much would I notice 400MHz in what I do? I probably wouldn't.
Although I defintely do notice when I go back to 2.4GHz from 3.2GHz.
Yup...tried everything. I do think my RAM sucks though. That's what I get for cheapin' out for $149 shipped - still haven't seen my OCZ $50 rebate. Prolly won't ever see it.Quote:

In a real life not that much :D
Weird.. I just came home from dinner. Pc wouldnt turn on. Took out power supply cable, plugged it back in. Pc booted fine. All bios settings back to stock. Set 3.2 overclock and noticed that the DRAM ECC mode option has completely disappeared from the bios.. :eek:
I'm beginning to suspect that my RAM is bad. I bought the Corsair CM2X1024-6400C3 RAM, which is more than twice the price of the C5.
The thing is that I can't get it above 899MHz no matter how high I set the Memory Voltage. I've tried just about everything, but the bastard won't run the #5 Test on Memtest, it freezes directly.
Am I overlooking something major? I tried running it with my E6600 OC'd to 3,2 GHz and also with the default settings at 2,4 GHz (but with the voltage turned up on the RAM).
Anyone got a clue as to what in the world is going on?

EDIT: added the link to Anandtech's test of the RAM, where they got it to 1067 with good timings.
I'd like too :)Quote:

Hi all,
Was hoping someone could let me know what the highest safe voltages for 24x7 use are for a system running on Air with default chipset Heat Sinks: -
Is it ok to set the vMCH to 1.65v for 24x7 use or is this overkill as with my E6700ES I cant seem to get above 300FSB without issues.
vCore = ?
fsb = ?
vdimm = ?
vMCH = ?

hi,
i wanted to ask that if others here with this board get some random lockups ? since yesterday i got them twice...but on the last one but pc didnt wanted to boot...no display only fans turned on...i took out the powercable and let it sit for 5 mins,once i put back the powercable the board turn on itself for 3secs...then went off, but it booted fine when i pushed the power button in front of casing...anyhow idea what causes that ?
i||uSi0n^
EDIT: im using bios 1101, board came with 0701...and all settings are on auto/stock.
Any ES owner tried bios 1001 ? wondering if multi unlocked with it
Well well.....I took apart the NB/SB heatsinks applied AS5 and my mobo temperature has dropped a staggering 5C under load and 3C @ idle.I never go above 40C under load now :) I reccommend it!
Poblems with E6600 + P5W DH + 2G OCZ 6400 + 2 Optical Drives + SATA 320G + ATI X600
1, One of my DVD drive (Pioneer 106) is connected to the Jmicron PATA. It cannot be detected in BIOS, but shows up in the Boot device order list. Every time I turned on my marchine, there was a message about the DVD drive showing something about Jmicron.com and in winxp, it works just fine. What should I do to let the BIOS see the drive and get rid of the message?
2, My CPU idle temp is 43~45, MB idle temp is 44~45. Are these temps too high? Currently, I 'm running everything at the stock speed and using the stock HSF. What should I do to lower the temps? My computer case is TT's armor VA8000BNS.
3, The OCZ 6400 firstly detected as 5300 and I have to manually set it as 6400 in the BIOS. Is it normal?
Thank you for your help!
I have a real problem and I am at a loss to work out what I can do.
I currently have 4 x 512Mb Corsair XMS2 cas5 RAM but there seems to be a problem when using all four. If I have all four sims in the computer wont post. nothing at all, just sits there. If I take out the Dimms from slots 1 and 2the computer boots fine.
I then shut down the PC, take out the 2 "Working" sticks of RAM and put in the other 2 and the computer boots fine. If I put one of the 512's in to either slot 1 or 2 the computer wont boot.
I initially thought it was a motherboard problem so I contacted ASUS and they suggested I return the motherboard which I did. Now I have just rebuilt my computer after I got a replacement today and the problem is still as I have described above so obviously the Mboard was not faulty.
Has anyone else had the same or similar problems? I really have no idea now what to do. All 4 sticks of ram came out of my old Motherboard and they worked fine.
Okay not really a problem but a bit curious. Has anyone try ripping a movie off dvdshrink? Okay well I did and here's the weird part. I tried it at stock speed 2.4 and it came out like 15 min 15sec. Then I overclock it to 3.6 and it came out 15min 12sec. I thought dvdshrink is dependent on cpu, so shouldnt it make a difference?
Can someone else confirm this, it's kinda bugging me. I'm not sure if there is some kind of IDE limit on this board. Thanks
To answer your question 2 read my post above.

Does anyone elses DVD rom drive take a long time to displays files on the cd through Windows Explorer on this P5W board?
Mine takes like a minute almost, that is so anyoing, anyone know what the problem might be?
I tried a different cd-rom drive same thing,
i repalced IDE cables, same thing,
i installed all drivers found on the asus cd. still the same thing, weird.
Sounds like its running in PIO mode when it should be in DMA?Quote:

Floppy Controller Failure
No keyboard detected
CMOS Checksum bad (happened after I took the battery out and turned off the PSU)
If I plug in a USB keyboard, it'll detect but not function properly. If I plug in a PS/2 keyboard it says not detected. If I plug in both, it'll detect the USB and still not function properly.
The floppy is unplugged right now. If I plug it in, it'll sit trying to detect storage devices... it'll finish the SATA, IDE and USB, but then just sit there trying to (I assume) talk to the floppy drive.
Does Asus consider pull off that "Digital Home" and "Asus" heatsink heat-trap pieces of junk grounds for voiding warranty? What a crappy problem since I just finished a quick leaktest on my water loop and wanted to see if this would make my rig any more stable... maybe the particular board I have was just doomed to fail since it was manufactured. Thanks Asus! </sarcasm>
Passive cooling FTL with this board! But if you must I suggest redoing everything with AS5. Otherwise, yea remove that cover and slap a fan on there.Quote:

I removed the mobo from the case, blew it with air and wiped around stuff with some cotton pads to pick up bits of junk (dust and plastic and whatever else is there).. it looks like it's detecting my keyboard, USB or PS/2, and letting me do keypresses. Not sure if the extended power out, or the cleaning was the fix... but at least I can interact again :)
BTW I've already reseated all the sinks with AS5. Doesn't help much though :)
I was pretty worried because at one point, unplugging or plugging in the USB keyboard would make the computer turn on... very very strange. My heart is still kind of beating strangely after the near-death experience of this motherboard. Gaggghghh!!!!
Normal behaviour because you're plugging the keyboard into ports 3 and 4. Use 1 and 2.Quote:

Suppose its best to leave the SPD Auto, while you clock the rest, less to think about ;)
You can always tighten the timings after, not that benching shows much change in the bandwidth department.

Hi, I am only running a sata hard drive.... my roms are IDE.
But at boot up, or reboot... it stays at the first screen forever, before booting

I have 4 x 1G sticks, and had to run slower 2T timings with my AMD X2, and I think Intel have the same limitations.Quote:

It cant be a faulty mboard, what are the odds of 2 motherboards having exactly the same problem. and Corsair are saying that this RAM is compatible with this Mboard.

Just annoying
well im using all stock settings and no o/c, i have tried putting stress load on motherboard etc to see if it will lockup but it doesnt, like i said its really random...i tried to look logs in windows but nothing there either...

1101 made mine freeze solid every now and then, 903 is fine.

Hi guys.
I've have ha problem.
I connected a P-ATA harddrive on my P5W DH.
Worked nice a few days, but now i cant find it. Not in the bios not in windows.
It's no big deal, planning to move the disk to an another computer anyway.
The P-ata controller is enabled, i see the message "no disk attaced" or somthing like that. My P-ata dvd rom works fine. (another controller)
I got an E6600 2.4@3.6 ghz, 400 fsb.
try another bios - or try to clock down and see - or get another cable
I updated to a P5WDH along with a Conroe 6400 and i'm having lots of issues with it.
First it a year to read from the dvd drive (propably PIO mode), second i believe that my raptor also is quite slow too and lastly i have numerous usb issues (with my bluetooth usb keyboard set, external hd not recognised plus others). I thought that it would be a very good companion from my 6400 but instead of oc'ing the hell out of it now, i'm dealing with usb issues... :mad:
I'm returning it on Monday for a P5B Deluxe.
lawrywild:
Can you add the "Board does not read negative CPU temperatures below -27.5°C" issue please? :) There is no resolution, it's just how the board behaves. In fact it reports a massive overheat (127.5+) in the BIOS at anything below this. I'm sure a lot of people running phase, like myself, are going to end up unduely worried until they are made aware of this fact.
Pretty much every board does that. The DFI Nf4's did that, it's nothing new...Quote:

Using the 1101 bios, I'm currently priming @ 3.2ghz with 1.5vcore set in bios which drops as low as 1.464v under load. I'm gonna try the cpu on the MSI board tonight after I pass 12 hours dual prime @ this setting.:stick: O and the ASUS Panel really suxs!!! It reads everything wrong.

I'm at 1.53 right now, its not too bad for daily with water cooling, but I'd like to see maybe even under 1.5v too :)
Yes could be , E6700 was my choice after E6400 I tried and effectively needed more vcore even to get 3.2 ghzQuote:

sorry I'll edit my post, 1101 shipped with the bios's asus sent me. I tried 1.45vcore up to the 1.5vcore I'm currently at. 3.2GHz is not bad, but I wanted 3.4ghz without extreme volts as a minimum. Gonna go for another cpu and sell this on if it doesn't do better on the MSI.Quote:

:confused:
very curious :D
yes this board is very moody sometimes..
I had to use less VCore on my DS3 than on this P5W for the same stable 356x9 OC. Kinda sucks.Quote:

It would also do well to have more memory options in the bios anyway for us tweakers. But maybe I've been using AMD & DFI for so long I've raised my expectations of an enthusiast board beyond that which is currently availabe for the conroe platform.
You and me both buddy. The only thing that has helped me get a stable overclock is more Vcore.
ive got my CPU stable @ 3060 1.3625 Vcore and can boot @ 3244 @ 1.3775 Vcore
but anything above that wont load windows i tried 1.4 Vcore @ 3.3 and it didnt like it am i trying with to low Vcore or did i just get a dud chip?
cooler is a scythe Ninja and im getting alot of diff temp readings
speedfan tells me 19C all coretemp reads 37-38 and ASUS probe reads 21-23
what temp is likely to be correct whats safe?
what vcore is safe for my cooler?
More VCore. Try 1.45V to start. That's very safe with decent air.
Your chip already OC's better than mine. That is, of course if it's Orthos stable at those settings.
dual prime for 4 hoursQuote:

which of my temp reading seems valid?
so vcore wise there the same as the AMD x2's they can take 1.5+ and still be somewhat safe? (my X2 4400 nedded to have 1.55 Vcore to run 3D mark @ 2.6)
Well I'm at the same stupid 3.2ghz dual prime stable limit as just about everyone else. I'm about to remove board & cpu now and give the msi a go.
http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/6...establenh6.jpg
NO probs here so far , I got one of the early series though, came with the 0401 BIOS-but after flashing to 0903 it s OK :D
IT would be interresting to have compared orthos stability at the same vcore /frequency ( Vdroop surely not the same )Quote:

P.S. How are you guys "Dual Priming"? I can only get one window to run.
for dual super pi
Copy the .exe into two executables and open both
Go to task manager and set the affinities so that one instance pertains to Core0 and the other to Core1
Run them simultaneously.
(copied txt from another post)
Thanks.
Now Asus' web site only lists 0801 as the most recent BIOS update. WTF?
Famich, that is a nasty OC. Your vcore for 3.6 is what my vcore is for 3.2 :(

OK check this out.
My specs:
c2d e6600
p5w dh
x1900 xt
So I have serious video problems. BIOS splash, POST info, Windows Logon screen, etc are all artifacted, skewed, etc. It is barely readable. I have 3 x1900 cards, and none have worked.
Now ocassionally, I get a normal screen. The last time I did, I loaded the Catalyst drivers, and now during Win logon, the video signal just dies. Any ideas?
I think that I have ruled out it being the gpus. Right now, I am stumped.
Thanks.
The new bios can be found here for those that are daring.....

thanks guys
Is what i'm experiencing below the so called 360-370fsb limit on async dividers only but not sync 1:1?
my P5W DH with 0801 bios with 2x1GB Gskill PC6400PHU2 HZ Micron D9GMH (0629) doesn't seem to like 4:5 upclock divider past 378fsb (gives 472mhz mem) for now :( Nor does it like 2:3 beyond 360fsb (gives 541mhz mem). This is with manually set timings of 4-4-4-12 regardless of vdimm used. Haven't tried setting SPD for memory to boot yet.
P5W DH i have doesn't seem to like 4-4-3 timings where tRP = 3 either, can't pass memtest86+ v1.65 higher than 460-472mhz 4-4-3 (manually set in bios) regardless of vdimm used or divider used. Same memory on Badaxe board did 488mhz 4-4-3-5 at 2.2v!
But 1:1 seems best for E6600 due to max fsb limitations I wonder how far i can go just for testing single Super Pi v1.50 32M :)
Testing max single Super Pi v1.50 32M:
vdimm = 2.3v (seems to help stable things due to tighter timings at 1:1 clocks especially when you get closer to P5W DH's max FSB wall)
Bios Settings:
vFSB = 1.3v
vMCH = 1.65v
vICH = AUTO
Performance mode = Standard
Hyperpath3 = Disabled
DDRAM Throttling = Disabled
* All tests are straight boot from bios with manual timings set at 4-4-4-8 4 at 2.3v
* All tests are untweaked with default P5W DH set timings. Have yet to even tweak with memset or drop tRP to 3 yet.

What bios are you using ? Do you have artifacts in windows safe mode ?
I only had artifacts in POST and in windows nothing but once i installed drivers i got black screen.
I have a 7950GX2.
Mine also booted while there was no plug from the psu connected to the 3d card, didn't even gave a warning about that.
I have seen other people with this problem and say its because memory of the 3d card is broken?

If you don't already know - PEG LINK is feature on nearly all boards, just called different things by different vendors, but it overclocks the card at boot-up and its handled by the motherboard. It handles nVidia and ATI cards differently. In my experience, it's never been a good thing. If you're running the "entire" system at stock/default levels - sure it can help. But, who the heck does that? Go into the BIOS and turn that nasty PEG LINK mode to NORMAL and see how things go then.
I'd like to know the answer to this too. I guess the easiest way would be to wire up the ChillControl board so that the power switch on your case switches the Vapo on, and the reset button switches your PC on (reset cable plugged into PWR-SW on motherboard). This would mean of course you wouldn't have a reset button, and you'd have to power off the Vapo manually after the PC has been switched off (using the power button).Quote:

i see, I come from a AGP board i didn't know this.Quote:

Could it be that the motherboard screwed the video card because of the oc?
Just a luck of the draw... bought in Germany :p:Quote:

I had two x1900s since I ran xfire but since Irun dual monitors and have sli on my other rig, running both was a moot point. So I sitched out cards in a single config. Then i RMA'd both. Anyway, I got a brand new card back, and still, same problems. Doh! I thought with my luck that i actually may have had two funky x1900s.
Anyway, I reinstalled the OS, and then I basically was able to get the CS drievrs in and the video drivers. Then the Windows splash would die. So I made ever basic fix noted in this thread in the BIOS.
I flashed to 1201. Also, I just reseated everything. I thought my dvi kvm may have been a problem. It is a Blekin that is temperamental and I don't know if it is the actual kvm hub or one of the cables.
Anway, it seems to be resolved. I don't know what fix did it. It got annoying, so I did not do a methodical pin point of the problem but doing individual changes.
it was exponentially annoying since I modded a Lian Li pc201, and spent a lot of time prepping the unit and waiting for parts etc. i spent a week building around work, school, modding, and parts coming in. so when i encountered problem after problem, it just got more irksome as things went along.
It always seems like with each new build i get a whole slew of new problems.
Nonetheless, it was worth it, because my mosheen is coming together. I'll post some pics again. I wish that i could provide some definitve answers right now, but it seems the 1201 bios is stable for me, and that about 90% of the BIOS settings recommended in this thread are relevant and vital.
hi,
i wanted to know that the temps for motherboard under "pc probe" or "everest" is for northbridge or the southbridge ? mine is alwayz @ 46~49C which i find pretty high....what temps do you guys get ?
