Anyone know the Return On Investment of 4GB total under XP? Do things work any better using 3GB of RAM, or is it more of a warm feeling knowing that it's in there come Vista time?...
wow

yes my q6600 is solid stable at 3.5ghz 390x9 i dont know how to check the verson of the board but on cpuz it sais REV0 and REV.1 XX. If you tell me how to check i will gladely do so and im using 2301. My fsb voltage is maxed at 1.5v and mch at 1.75v need to check this again will confirm but its definetly rock solid stable. but if i got higher its not working it just reboots when it shows windows screen at 400x9 i tried 1.5v still no go.Quote:

Yeah, I meant CPU temps. I'm currently at 375 * 9 = 3.375GHz @ 1.5v and I idle at ~40C and load at 71C. Wonder why yours seems so much lower with higher voltage and more overclock. I'll play around again and see what I can get.Quote:

3.6 and above for an e6600 on the p5w with your memory is good going - a lot of the E6600 's dont make it that far. I would not complain to much about a wall at 414 on a 9x multiplier. I could only get mine to 3.6 stable on air 400x9 before before I upgraded .Mine would not boot at 410 or 415 but it would boot not stable at 420 and 425 with more volts.e.g 1.55 but hot! MB likes 1:1 and can be picky on other ratios with memory as a rule . Increase NB volts as the FSB increases but 1.65 should be enough upto 420 or so. I would try ICH = 1.2 FSB= 1.3 and give it more vcore if you want higher than 3.7 . Try loosening the memory to 5,5,5,15 at 1:1 . Have you disabled all the other BIOS settings not required? e.g virtulisation,memory remap etc.Quote:

Hi,
I have a big problem. I just flashed my bios to lawrywild's recommended 2004 (http://rapidshare.com/files/48609629...eluxe-2004.rar) I used alt+F2, it was written compleated, i restarted system, and i can`t boot my system, everything seems to be working, no beeps, just monitor stays like turned off, just black screen. plz help. is my mb dead?
ok so this is interesting a further dive into the ide performance on this board remember I have a lot of hds so the problem could be linked to that and I expect no reviewers tested this board loaded up with hds.
4 winrar sessions unrarring at once, cpu utilisation and ram low yet clicking on each window is sluggish taking ages to redraw itself on screen so something is saturated probably the io bus.
Burning a dvd at 16x the old board did this with ease, the hd is thrashing hard at around 12x and read buffer running out, occasionally gets to 16x ok, put same hd in other machine and do 16x burn has no problems at all and not thrashing. I should get round to trying the raid drivers, hd is sharing intel pata controller with burner havent tried burning of jmicron or intel sata hds yet.
I feel your pain, the same thing happed to me when I used asus update from windows and corrupted my bios chip. Now at everyone recommendations I only use AFUDOS through dos. Not sure if the ALT F2 would do this but it sounds like you bricked or corrupted your bios chip like me as the symtoms were the same. If you cannot get it going you can mail the bios chip and I will hotflash your bios chip for you and DHL it back to you express if you like as long as you pay me for shipping. We can use paypal...Quote:

"ALT-F2" will work, only if the "safe-Boot-Block" area in BIOS was not damaged.

oops did not look where he was from... Bichi thanks for the heads up...
2BIG4U follow bichi recommendations.
but I do know I wiped my chip and the results were the same, pc would power up and black screen, no other responces.. ALt F2 did not work, not even the built in AMI bios recovery with the CTRL+Home on initial boot with a ps2 keyboard, nothing, system acted dead... I had to get another bios chip and hotflash the other one.. Now I have 2 chips just in case.
Good luck to you my friend...

They should send it with the latest non beta bios so I would say possibly 2004 or maybe one higher but your system will boot. Just go get the chip hotflashed in the same MOBO and do not worry about another chip... Just use AFUDOS in the future and you will be good to go... From now on do not use any custom bios unless you have a backup chip to play with...
Which procedure would i take to revert back to my original BIOS version.
As newer versions i have downloaded have failed to disable onboard sound.

older verion of afudos 2.11 or something there abouts and its work greatQuote:

Never ever use Asus Windows update for this board.. There is a serious flaw and you risk wiping your bios chip and ending up with a black screen.Quote:

What 'flaw'. Details please.
I use AU on 2 boards, never encountered any flaw. Maybe people forget to reset BIOS to defaults before updating (which is i believe recommended)?
Defaults means nothing, tried it still screw my chip, I used Asus update on every other Asus mobo I have ever owned and that is at least 6, Asus update will kill the bios chip on this board, read the posts in this thread. Tis FLAWED...
If you care to use this to flash go for it, but when you corrupt your bios do not say i did not say I told you so...
More here and prob one of the best posts on this board I have yet to find:

I steel can't reach 415 fsb
I tried everything
set voltages to high leve
lowered multipiler
lowered Ram frequancy
steel nothing
it means that mobo is blocking 415 fsb
how do people pass the 415 fsb limit? :(
What size fan fits nice on the NB heatsink? I'm going to remove the cover and put one on there. I'm guessing a 40mm fan is the right size?
Correct - 40mm fan will fit nice on the NB
i also put one on my south bridge brings mb temp down below cpuQuote:

Currently using the HR-05 SLi, but it's overkill and not the best-looking.

Hi,
I tried to flash bios by afudos with parameters:and there was only the message:Quote:
afudos /i.....rom /p /b /n /n /reboot
What is wrong? :confused:Quote:
USAGE: afudos /i<ROM filename> [/o<save ROM filename>]
all you need is afudos /ip5wdh.rom hope this works for you if not get afudos v2.11
"would not use the /pb if I were you... it reflashes the boot block. This is normally read-only and is where the "Crash Free BIOS" code resides. If you flash with /pb and have a failure, you will not be able to recover (this happened to me :( ).
The only time the boot block needs updating is when there are changes to the boot clock code. This is pretty rare and ASUS usually provide an update exe file."
I think I wiped my boot block clean... Anyone have this for me a clean complete image of an entire bios, I do not care which version with a boot block or how to program it back to virgin?
This board is good? P5W DH ?? I wold like to buy one... it's cheap... it's a good motherboard or not ?
I love this board.
I don't overclock, but this board is very fast with a Core2duo processor.
And have a lot of features on board.
I would like an additional Intel PATA connector and some additional Intel Sata connectors (2 or 3).
My previous motherboard was the Asus P5WD2 Premium and had more connections for harddrive.
I use on my P5W DH 2 Papst 412/2 fans on my north and southbridge.
Their are very silent, but cools very well.
Only the pricetag is some negative.

My board won't run ddr2-1066 whatever I try. I know that some do and some don't so you have to take a gamble. You can always run lower speed and tighten the timings though remember.
Thx Lawrywild, sad news for me.... do you have Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500 and P5w, what timing and memory voltage do you use for it?Quote:

Hi folks, I bought this motherboard last week as part of my long overdue PC build (well last month... but the first two boards were faulty - bad luck hey). I'd be really grateful if someone could assist with my questions. I'll be sure to show my thanks.
Firstly:
http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p...001/mboard.jpg
What could this PCI device be? I've installed the Intel chipset drivers V7221006; and although I don't use Asus Booster or Probe (Motherboard Monitor's much better) I installed the ACPI driver. The onboard sound (and for that matter the serial port and JMicron stuff, I only use 1 IDE drive) are successfully disabled in the BIOS, v2004, and thus I haven't installed their drivers. My PCI cards are a soundcard and TV card which are installed and work fine. Windows doesn't know what the device is. I'm sure at some point - probably with the first board I had - I got rid of this problem early on.
Secondly, I have a query about temperatures and sensors. The read from the program CoreTemp is 16-17C higher than the motherboard CPU sensor. So apart from going down the route of installing my own sensors, since that's a large difference how then do I know the motherboard's second sensor is even accurate? Currently, using a Zalman Reserator for the CPU, northbridge and graphics card my CPU at idle is 44C (well 27C if I believed the motherboard sensor), and the second sensor 53C (and my graphics card in the loop is 35C according to ATI's control center). I guess that's all okay if accurate, but since I can have little faith in the onboard sensor readings how do I know if the second sensor is under- or over-reporting? Have people reached a common consensus that the sensors report too low by x degrees? (E.g. x=-17 for CPU sensor.) I'd be quite unhappy if I discovered my 53C northbridge (if that's what it refers to) is something much higher. My Core2Duo 4400 2GHz is overclocked to 3Ghz without even trying, which is quite satisfying. At some point I'l learn about other overclocking parameters such as voltages and see if I can get more out of it.
Next, maybe someone could advise me on whether my PC is safe not running any fans? I.e. since the CPU, northbridge and GPU have their heat cooled out of the case, is it okay there's nothing actively cooling anything else in the PC? My hunch is it's oky, since the PSU - an Antec Phantom 500 - only spins its temperature-controlled fan once in a blue moon. My single hard disc reports 41C (in a very hot GUP Japan Smart Drive 2002C), it's an Antec P180 case, one DVD drive, RAM 2x2GB PC2-6400 and my 2 PCI cards. I hope I won't need the fans since I use the PC close to where I record my music. The soutbridge heatsink is only warm and I removed it, cleaned it then reseated it with Arctic Silver5, removing the cover logo. But since the Asus heatpipe thing is removed due to the Reserator, does that mean the part of the motherboard it was stuck to near the top of the board is now missing some cooling? Or maybe even the onboard wifi card wants some?
My final query is about maxing out the CPU. I ran Prime95 among other things to check my overclock was stable (it was and never got hotter than 59C). But never did the CPU usage in Windows Task manager read more than 50%. What can I use to get 99-100% activity? Edit: it's okay, I found http://sp2004.fre3.com/beta/beta2.htm. 100% usage only adds 2C to the 59C.
Many thanks.
i am thinking that the device with the "?" is either something U download from asus website for some acpi driver device or has to do with your onboard soundcard.
I know that there has been a few times that I've come across that while reinstalling XP on my 2nd PC & I have to go to Asus website to get the download for that driver...
After that, it worked fine... Although I'm still unsure of what it does...
However, since U have said U use a PCI souncard. then it looks to me that U need to download the device driver from the website... Will try to find more details of it & post it..
edit 1:
I prolly would try to install at least 1. 120mm fan either at the front or at the back to improve airflow for components that tend to get hot like the mosfets & stuff when running with WC...
Also would tend to more believe coretemp than the onboard sensors as the onboard sensors use the mobo readings whereas coretemp uses the cpu die for readings (if I'm correct... pls correct me if I'm wrong)..
Please help me out, ever since I installed my os onto the Seagate 320GB SATA drive, I discover a problem with the quick power off function. After I wake my computer up from sleep mode/stand by mode, my 2x PATA storage hard drives which were connected via JMicron IDE port (the one near the lowest pci slot) would disappear from "My Computer" menu, only my SATA Seagate 320GB remain avaliable for access...
I have contact Asus tech support about it, and they only respond me saying "This is going to point to a hardware failure of the J-Micron controller on the motherboard." Could this be related to the BIO settings instead??? I am using Q6600 G0 with 2206 BIO, 320GB SATA (OS), 160GB PATA (storage), 250GB PATA (storage), DL-DVD burner connected via the other IDE port
alexlyc, this is a Jmicron driver issue and it's needed for the P5W if you use S3 else Win XP will choke and complain of missing devices on S3 resume. Look back at my past posts in this thread to solve this.
Funny thing is that other C2D mobos (Commando, GA-P35C) I have tried did not require specific Jmicron drivers for S3 resume to work properly. Maybe the BIOS plays a part here too, P5W BIOS just isn't the nicest around so far- would be a much greater o'cing mobo if it has independent Vcore and EIST/C1E options.
Thanks MacClipper, the JMicron JMB36X driver did fix it! Now I realize how bad Asus tech support is... rma my @$$...
You are welcome. :)
Maybe the technical, marketing and aftersales support guys are not on talking terms. After all, the Asus manual also proclaims that the JMicron doesn't support ATAPI devices but it actually does and does it very well, in fact.
:D
Thanks Miniboy for your reply (and g'day to you in Melbourne!).
I have already installed the ACPI driver (I reckon, since Asus Probe needs it, it's something to do with allowing OS applications to interact with the fans speed or something). If I attempt to install it again a DOS-looking window flashes up and disappears too quick to read. So I'm still stuck. I wonder if anyone has had this prob when they know the onboard sound is disabled already?
What is (or are) mosfets that you mention?
And have you - or anyone - come to a consensus as to how accurate the second motherboard temperature sensor is, since we know the CPU one is crap?
Cheers again.
Hey Maxclipper, I disabled the JMicron IDE controller because it stops Acronis True Image working from outside Windows (i.e. restoring); True Image stalls.
passed the 415 FSB too :)
here is my new record on air (3924.12 MHz):

when i close the side panel the temp goes as high as 92 celsius at core temp? but when i remove the side panel the temp reduce from 92 to 66 (on full load). Is my temp ok? And i want to know what is the best overclocking for my core2duo e6750? what are the right values to be adjust to the bios. Any comments or suggestions is greatly appreciated...
good clock but a lil on the warm side but then again you'll never run full load even gaming so probly ok
ok.. by the way, which is better? the dram frequency or cpu core speed? which is better of the two? lower multiplier but higher dram frequency or higher multiplier but lower dram frquency?
cpu fsb gives your more 1 & 1 is your best bet far as i know
i aint checked it in prime95 used OCCTPT and i usually leave my pc on for 2days or so in a row before its shutdown.Quote:

hi all
I have a win ME Boot cd which i can boot with CD rom support.
works the same as a floppy disc.
I tried to flash my bios back to 1901 as i am 2206 at the moment.
but it said the bios was too old and to download a newer version.
Which procedure should i take to flash my bios back to the 1905 version?
chris
Finally got my Q6600 :D
L720B058
1.262v VID :D
Running 3Ghz stock volts for now, can't go higher due to 4x1GB ram. Temps are better than my e6600. Proper stoked :)

He used the Black Ice Extreme and felt it was too big. I agree and took his advice and went with the Black Ice Pro from DangerDen. The Extreme is very think and placing it back in the case, while doable, is very tough.
You will need the blue poly-elbows he describes and a dremel to mod the fan housing. Kathi at Danger Den is very helpful and will send you the right stuff if you ask.
:up: congrats man keep us posted wish i had your old e6600 oh well some dayQuote:

So what kind of OC do you get w/ 2 sticks of RAM?Quote:

If I can't get the OC stable at higher speeds, I may dump this board in favor of an X38 (once I see how well they are clocking).
CPU:FSB ratio 1:1 is the best option. You could plan for. As anything higher like 5:4 is a waste of power.Quote:

Finally on the '45nm-list'. Good news.
Bios 0203 must be a typo??
if i could switch my p5wdh deluxe rev1 for the latest revision at no cost, just the messing around swapping them over... would it be worth it???
would i get a better overclock if its a perfect board with the higher mch and possibly other refinement through each revision...
would i have to change anything in the os or will everything run just the same. wondering about the chipset drivers and firmware. or will everything be stored on my hard drives. will it boot up a G0 with an early bios or should i just swap the bios chips... or should i just hope it boots and then flash....
thanks for any assistance, i just like to be reasonably sure about what i'm doing.....
Exactly. It stuffs up Ghost as well. It's a piece of junk, as it has been for years. Asus should stop using this trash on top end motherboards and go back to Promise or something better. The best thing to do with JMicron is to disable it in the bios the first time you boot the motherboard.Quote:

Does anyone do a swap with the old install intact...i.e. a Windows Repair install. I would be fascinated because many times for me it is not the cost but the headache of losing a night's sleep having to rebuild the new board to the way I used to have it and the way I liked it.Quote:

no i have the board for a friend who doesnt mind if i swap mine out for the later revision.... at least he knows mine is stable and works.....
Just don't break anything when you do the transplant, easy to do with all the components that'll be lying around!
I haven't given up on my unknown PCI woe from the other page, if anyone has another idea.
