Which Fry's did you go to? I'm in San Fran, CA and usually go to Palo Alto or Sunnyvale. Cuz Tankguys posted 68 series mobos, I just ordered from them, but I may need a "backup".Quote:

But don't get your hopes up yet, we still need to find out if 0628 boards have the 1.85v option.
So far everyone who has replied has at least an 0630 board, but no replies from anyone saying that 0628 68M0AG or 0629 work or don't work yet...
And I may not have my CPU until late next week :(
Seems to be alot of peope wanting these boards but is it proven yet that these boards are any better at high FSB's?
Well, even if they aren't amazingly better the fact there's an extra 0.2v available for vMCH should make a pretty big difference. All of the big overclocks (450+) I've seen on the P5WDG2-Pro have been when using 1.8v vMCH, and FCG needed to voltmod his vMCH to get 4.6Ghz (10x460) stable at 1.82v.Quote:

1.85v mch versions don't seem to be better than good 1.65v mch versions just helps with maxing out fsb
i.e. my board at 1.65v mch gets to 434-438fsb with 1.75v gains 5-8fsb and 1.85v gains another few fsb to around 449-452fsb so far for 32M and 460-473fsb for 1M...
some good 1.65v mch boards do 450fsb easy so depends
eva2000,
can you please check the date code that is stamped on your board PCB, if you can see it? It should be right next to that Asus logo around the northbridge. (also sent you a pm on that).
Thanks.
all covered up http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=115040 hehe maybe you can see it at http://i4memory.com/reviewimages/mot.../asus/P5WDH/1/ or http://i4memory.com/reviewimages/mot...diicalchipset/
Argh!
Just received my new board and it's even older than the one I had already... code is 66M0AG or something. Not even going to bother trying it, straight back to the retailer. :mad:
Newegg just got it back on sale http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131025
Ok getting a bit desperate here, was hoping to get my new PC up and running this weekend and I just assumed (stupidly?) that since the place I ordered my new P5W-DH from had only just received stock that it would be 68M0AG....
Can someone tell me other than rlsupplies (who don't answer the phone, and don't do Saturday Delivery) where I can get this board in the UK?
Thanks,
Daz
you can try http://www.overclockers.co.uk/ - they seem to have the board in stock, and my experiences with them have been good.
Also http://www.scan.co.uk/ is another UK option.
Eva,
it looks like your board is 0625 (I really can't read the numbers that well in the one photo where it was showing), but surely that can't be right..0625 seems too early for 1.85v .....
Anyone else with 0628 also have 1.85 ?
well mine was a board direct from Asus so probably early one ?
Don't think OCUK will give any kind of specific product information out, they've never done it with CPU steppings so no reason to assume they would with motherboards.Quote:

Received 1 from Newegg and 1 from Antares this morning and both serial numbers start with 68...
-pickles
Ok, after the P5WDG2-WS-Pro fiasco of yesterday, I picked up a P5W DH Delux this morning, from i-Store in Springvale Rd, Nunawading (Melbourne)
Bios will allow MCH to go up to 1.85Vmch, and codes on the box are 68MOAG**, part no 90-MBB2X0-G0UAY.
Bios came out of box supporting Conroe, so hope this helps someone.
I am hoping to get a replacement for my P5WDG2-WS-Pro that came DOA, and will see which board is more suitable to my E6400, and which likes the E6600 better.
Will keep you guys posted. For now it seems my E6600 max out around 3.65gig on water, so obviously not a good sample.
Will tick over very nicelt at 3.40gig, and 1.425Vcore, mem setting at 667strap, so would go well as a racing sim rig.
congrats MrBean :)
Just one question..is that Jet Li with a wig on in your sig?Quote:

congrats MrBean
Running the 6600 now, and giving her around 1.425Vcore to keep stability at 3.40gig.
This cpu should make for a very nice compliment to my gaming rig, especially sim racing, and I think a single 7950GX2 should drive the 30" ACD quite well at 2560x1600 in GTR2.
This is by far the easiest and most stable Conroe board I played with, I have a S3 and Infinity too. The S3 can get 483 on FSB from Bios, which ain't to shabby, but it's a constant struggle to get it to run proper.
I will prolly get the new Ws-Pro from Rex (PcManiacs) early next week, and wil do some comparos between the P5W and the WS-Pro.
Will keep you guys posted.
Good job, Mrbean.
Can you also check the date code (Right by the Asus logo) that is stamped on the PCB? Should be around 0630, 0631, etc....
Hey Falkentyne,
Date code is 0631
;)

I can tell you it has 1.85v :banana:
Good, early model already updated a little, but it seems ser no must start with 68......so is there any earlier than week 28 that will have 68 code?Quote:
68M0AG
Would help the guys out there to know...
Hi Falkentyne
The boards that i received that both came with bios 1011 and 1,85v were both 68MOAG / GOEAY and 0628 on the pcb.
Am I correct that you cannot change the multi on this asus board - i cannot get it to change my x6800 multi from 11.
