Now that Im on the P5WD2 things are going very well but Im still having issues. Are you guy's FSB fluctuationg at all? Mine still changed by almost 10mhz on the FSB still.

I will pop some heat spreaders and let you know what D9's I have.
Thanks for the mod info, it will surely help.
I just put in a 660 in stead of the 640, and with the 14x multiplier so far I'm running @ 345 Mhz fsb without any problems. My fsb does fluctuate a little bit, but it never goes below 345 Mhz and it only increases 3 Mhz max. Also it doesn't fluctuate under all benchmarks, just some.
I have had the system running at 350 Mhz fsb also, but my memory was more than maxxed out when I did, so I did get some odd results. However I'm still on the standard passive northbridge cooler and I have not done any mods yet, so I'm quite happy. My Corsair PC5400UL does seem to max out at around 4500 MB/s in memtest86, pretty much regaerdless of memory/ fsb Mhz and timings, it doesn't want to go above that. I'll hopefully get the mod done pretty soon. I'm also doing the cap mod (thanks The Stilt for that also). Gonna put some decent cooling on the Northbridge as well I guess :D
Damn, guess my 650 needs to go.......... Hello Ebay!
I wrote a little P5WD2 mod guide for Akiba-PC.
Read it here .
Wow, thanks Stilt =), but where is the "capacitor" addition modification there? hehehe...you missed it ;)... :stick:
Soon :)Quote:

I don´t have enough time to test those cards in SLI, sorry :(Quote:

There is atleast two different Micron D9 stepping that overclock best.
One is MT47H64M8BT-3 and one is MT47H64M8BT-37E.
If you want to get some really good stuff, get Corsair 5400UL ;)
Are you getting FSB fluctuations? Also could you link me to the BIOS you are currentally using?
I haven´t noticed any FSB fluctuation in "normal" use.Quote:

cpuclock show me a different fsb and the fsb fluctuate heavy. is cpuclock to old for this new board or show cpu-z the wrong? i have 7200 mb @ sandra mem benchmark with DDR733 and 4-4-4-6. this can´t be right.
Yes, that's one of the programs I use to see if the fsb is fluctuating. However at 360 Mhz fsb and beyond, even 3dmark says results cannot be published because of cpu speed variation. Also SiSandra and other benchmarks shows really borked results. I know the cpu is stable at this spedd as I've run benches at almost 200 Mhz more at the defaul 18x multiplierQuote:

Do you have a link to the BIOS you are using? We all really need a copy of it. My vcore settings do not work at all on this set. PLZ link us.
Can someone tell where are the critical PLL and mosfet chips that need extra cooling ? Like the FSB PLL generator ?
Please put a pic of the P5WD2 with some kind of indication where are those critical chips.
It's because I would like to put some passive cooling sinks on those critical hot spots !
thanks.
Sentential: I'm using 0408 and it works pretty well.....
You can find it here. If there's a newer one out there, I'm not aware of it..........
Thanks
New versions 1.29 of CPUID works good for P5WD2. Correct memory speed and core voltage.
Yes it works fine here as well. It doesn't seem to show any fsb fluctuation under load anymore either.Quote:

I only see 3 things different than yours:
1. I am running with HT enabled (But I already tried this. made no difference)
2. I am running 1:1 on the Ram while yours are at Higher Mem Multi's (my Mem won't run at this FSB with 3:5 or higher)
3. I am running 0124 Bios (will load 0408 later)..
I am starting to suspect Asus's Hyperpath only runs at a 1:1 ratio.
Loose the 0124 bios it's bad. The motherboard is doing so much better with the 0408 bios IMHO.
No problem here running the 3:5 divider, even without mods I've had it stable @ 300 Mhz fsb and DDR1000 @ cas 4-3-3-8. However with the 660 cpu @ 14x multiplier, the memory gets taxed much harder pr. clock, but still it runs fine at 4:5 till above 350 Mhz fsb. I can do 3:4 at relaxed timings, but 3:5 is currently a no-go @ 350 Mhz fsb regardless of timings. I'm hoping a volt mod will help solve this.
I have both Turbo and Hyperpath 3, as well at Hyper Threading enabled all the time.
This is why I asked.. :eek:Quote:

You boot up with 200FSB, right?Quote:

Try to boot up with 266FSB (1066FSB NB Strap) and see how much the results will be decreased ;)
I am booting up at 340 FSB on the CPU FSB and 1:1 on the Ram..Quote:

BTW: Nice work on the WR..
Let you know.. I am not using SETFSB right now..
