Alright My mobo is officially ready :D
Thx
When will vMCH mod be available?
i don't know. im waiting for that too!!
so how long for the vdimm mod? can't wait. 2.4v is not enough.
My asus p5w dh is not working properly and on my very first boot i saw a flash by USB posts
After that everyboot has Powered On but i get no Video, and no BEEP :confused:
What could be wrong? ...is this because i havent flashed the bios?????
FCG, we need that vmods badly, I don't understand a thing about vmch/vdimm from pics that kyosen posted !
I'll second that:hitself:Quote:

Should I leave it? Or remove it and replace it with proper cooling paste?
Mate, are you using a PS2 Keyboard? If so, junk it and try a USB KB. I faced the exact same issue. :)Quote:

If anyone is interested I did a thermal IR scan on a P5W DH on the bench doing a torture test. It has a 930 CPU OC'd to 3.75 Ghz at 1.35 Vcore. Ambient is 20 degrees C. It's using the stock Intel HSF with Q-fan off (ie max RPM). There is no other active airflow since the board's on the bench.
Here some of the hot spots:
Marvel ethernet chip - 48
Southbridge - 47 (center of heatsink)
Northbridge - 40 (center of heatsink)
Mosfets - 40
Heatpipe/heatsink area closest to I/O's - 35
Silicon Image controller - 40
Everything else is <35 degrees.
CPU measures 47 degrees from Asus Probe.
I'll probably use the OP's recommendation for the SB but leave the NB alone. That Marvell chip get's a lillte toasty but I'm not sure is it's an issue once the MB is in a case with decent airflow. I also think it's wise to remove those silly decorative ASUS covers. (especially on the SB)
UPDATE:
I removed the SB HS, cleaned it up, applied AS5 and repeated the test. The SB now measures 46.5. It looks like about 1.5 degrees reduction come from this method.
aww man... i aleady sent the mobo out....but i'll definately keep that in mind....but hey how did u figure that was the problem because i wasnt getting beepsQuote:
