X7007 you should be running your mem at 2.3 daily if oy uput a fan blowing right on your memory. I run with G.Skill but, it has the same D9's as your and I have been running it since July of 06 anywhere from 2.25 to 2.4 without any problems. I have a 90mm fan that puts a lot of air cooling over my sticks.

I got a quick question, it does not seem that the BIOS will recognize all of my RAM. Is this normal?
Here is my ram setup:
Slot 1: 512MB
Slot 2: 1GB
Slot 3: 512MB
Slot 4: 1GB
Now, on post it only shows up 2688MB's (see picture attached). I expected this in Windows since I am running a 32bit OS and have 1GB video card memory. But shouldn't the BIOS pickup all the memory regardless?
CPU-Z reports all the sticks and shows 3072MB's.
Just enable the memory remap option in bios ;)Quote:

Hey 50H here is a bios shot from my system. Here you see C1 disabled.
I have reloaded 2301 bios to check this. Now when I leave C1 enabled it still has no effect on cpu core voltage. Is your bios page set the same way?
Make sure everything is set as you see in my pic.

Let me know if you had anything else set differently Thanks 50H, let's see if we can get this worked out or if it an issue with only your board.

If your wondering why only 400fsb I am just experimenting with this 2301 bios for the first time with 4 x 1024 megs of memory. This bios is handling it very well I am currently
running 400fsb 1:1 and my timings are set at 3-3-3-5. I through out 2301 and 2302 but decided that 2301 was defintely the better of the 2 for me. So I reloaded yet again to work on your problem and test it further.
Could someone please give the latest revision of this board ? Is it 1.04?
Thanks.
My latest P5WDH I purchased was a 1.04G. I bought it from Newegg 6-1-07.
I believe it to be the last revision. I have built 14 systems based on these terrific boards.
WZ
Here's a couple of pics to give you a better idea of the 'AUTO' problem. Note the C1E and CPU Voltages are set to auto and can't be changed. There is no enabled or disabled option available. BTW: My board is a revision 1.02GQuote:

you may want to drop back and run Lawry's modded 2004 bios to go with your quad core. It would suck to have to change mobo's otherwise to get more from your quad.

Try to set your AI Overclocking to AUTO, then change value for C1E ........ After that, you can change AI Overclocking to MANUAL...... ...
Tried that and it didn't work. Thanks all the same for your suggestion :)Quote:

Even though I'm able to set the Vcore I can't get the board to go beyond 9x340MHz with a Q6600 CPU. I've went as high as 1.6V with all other voltages maxed, but it's a no go :( I have another identical CPU to this on a P35 board and it overclocks to 3.4GHz on air, so it's not the CPU.
Time to retire this mobo I guess.
Has anyone had any issues with the main IDE port?
I've had both the Slave and now the Master drive attached to the main IDE port disappear within the last week, and only when I pushed on the connections did they come back. I plan to buy a new IDE cable just to be sure, but if there's a history of the port failing I might just get a cheap one. The rounded cable I'm using has been trouble-free for several years, but a little after midnight today the Master drive apparently just stopped being connected.
Since my A4 (good version) Neo HE550 power supply is in, working on all the internal issues at once seems like a good idea...
The bios is limited to addressing the memory by a setting called Memory Remap. You should only change this if you use a 64 bit OS. XP and Vista both have a 64 bit version. I have the same issue with my 4Gb installed. I currently run 64 bit Vista and the bios reports all 4Gb with right setting.Quote:

Good luck.
I remember reading in here that the multiplier has been disabled in the bios by ASUS.
My question is this: Is it still disabled for the EXTREME Edition X6800 Core 2 Duo? I am using this CPU and am wondering WHY it was ever disabled since I'm pretty sure the CPU is sold UNLOCKED and we are 'allowed' to change the multiplier.
Thanks,

Maybe i should remount it? I have a new bios?
So it couldnt be that and it seems like everything else is seeing the cores..device manager etc.
If anyone has any idea i would be grateful.
Hey 50H don't use that OC profile crap. Go into your bios set what you want where you want it then hitF10 and enter and get out Don't ever use OC profiles or OC by percentage. Geez that is all just garbage. I wonder how many other having problems are using this crap. I'm sorry but just too many of you just aren't up to this. Everybody just wants to buy the sh*t hit a couple buttons and just like magic you get a massive overclock!! And when you don't the board is garbage ,the ram is garbage,the cpu is garbage oh and lets not forget that F'ing no good psu!!
Arlequin this was covered just a couple pages back!!.

Bios 1601 was the last to allow upwards multiplier. (see my sigg ;) )Quote:

Oh lawry relax I will get to your bios. Good grief take a pill. Oh and in case you are unaware, this is a thread started by you but it and all posts that get submitted here are the property of Xtreme Systems. Not yours, not mine, all theirs. Look it gets a little frustrating trying to bring peoples systems along when it takes forever to get just what they have for hardware in their systems and then trying to find out just how they are attempting to Over clock their systems.
I will make a Blanket statement to all right now that the P5WDH Should only be Overclocked Manually. Use no profiles, No %ages. Just Manually.
Let Heat determine your cpu voltage. i have excellent liquid cooling.
My e6600 is coming up on one year of 1.65 pretty much daily. Some days higher, some lower, it has never seen less than 1.55volts in bios. Never.
Don't be afraid, your cpu can take it. So long as you can keep temps in perspective.
I don't post here to make anyone person happy and anytime someone is only posting about ditching this board for their favorite board that is thread crapping and I am sure as hell going to say so.
I am not made of money. I have the same 6400 and 6600 I started with. I can't afford to cherry pick out of dozens. I get what I get and I make that work. I don't use super cooling as it is for the most part best suited for benching. All my computers live in cases. I try to bench not at my highest most clock but rather my highest stable clocks as I use my systems for video rendering. I need tham fast and stable. At 3825mhz daily my e6600 on this P5WDH is extremely fast and stable. my 6400 runs at 3600mhz daily and is air cooled. that is on a different board and I don't discuss it here.
w2richwood I don't think there would be any advantage in going back to either of those bios'. Unfortunately the 6400 is not really a great match for these boards as the board just can't hit a high enough clock for the chip. I ran the 6400 for a couple weeks while i waited for my 6600 to come in. I found my max stable to be around 435fsb which was just well below what the chip could do. But, that was all this board would do (Stable). It does much better with the 6600 simply because of the higher multiplier.
I believe the best bios may well have been the 1707 at least for me. Best bios seems to vary board to board.

thankz for the reply weldzilla yea i would love to have a e6600 some day owell 3.0 works good nuff on the e6400 dayly
I have a problem with speedstep
First i had the E6600 Prosessor with the 2004 Bios and speedstep was working fine. Then i changed to Bios 2206 because i was to change the prosessor to Q6600. I donīt know if speedstep was working then.
And now i have changed to Q6600 and speedstep wonīt work. Everytime i set speedstep Enable it disable it automatic everytime i restart the computer, How come? I have even tried the 2301 Beta Bios with no success.
OK, so when I replaced the power supply and cranked the OC back up to my previously acceptable speed listed in my sig, Orthos went way over 62C and leaving video transcoding to run overnight found the computer rebooted in the morning.
So, I reinstalled the Thermaltake V1 cooler with fresh AS5 and it didn't help. Even the 30% OC profile seems to run hotter than before.
Can you break a motherboard so that the cooler doesn't clamp down tight enough to dissipate the heat? Is it obvious when you look? I'll admit I wan't careful when I moved the computer back when the Arctic 7 cooler was on, but I didn't think I had done permanent damage: I figured the cooler had stopped working. All 4 legs seem to be firmly in-place, but I'm no expert.
I'm now wondering if I should pass on buying once of those CoolIt peltier coolers and get a fresh motherboard. I'd be ticked if I spent the $500 and found that even that cooler wasn't able to do a good job...
w2richwood so you sit at 3000mhz. A fsb speed of 375, where are you running your mem? How have you got that page in your bios set up? ARe you sure that is not the reason you can't pass 375? At that speed you may well run it at 3-3-3-3 easily I should think at 3-3-3-4. Or are you running a divider? One thing people need to remember is when you get your cpu as far as it will go. it is time to turn to your memory and get it as tweaked as possible.
Hey michaellundmark did you read the last section in the P5WDH manual that came with your board about finishing the setup of EIST pages A-1 A-2. for the life of me I don't know why you would want your cpu to throttle back for any reason but hey different strokes.
w2richwood Memory settings look like this? Well at this point perhaps your timings don't but everything else?

hey lawrywild does your bios 2004 G0 45mn edition support EIST enabled ?
I want to buy a Q6600 but i dont know if your bios does support EIST.
And can i change the multiplier from 6 to 9 in the bios with your bios version ?
Yeah, EIST works but you can't adjust vcore with EIST enabled and multipliers are adjustable. (just like any other bios)
Okay but EIST doesnt work with newer version bios newer than your 2004 G0 45nm edition (correct me if i'm wrong)Quote:

if i enable it what can i do with it or what it do ?
Sorry for this noobies questions :P have to learn something about newer features of CPU's
I have now a Intel D950 clocked @ 4,2Ghz so that is not the problem overclocking i can do it myself, its only the newer features.

First off, I'd like to thank you all for the amount of information I've picked up on this thread.

As this is my first ever system build, I went with the P5W but I'm still not finished picking up parts.
Now I might have a small problem and one I'm trying to nip now instead of one that occurs after I build the system and have to take it apart again.
Basically all I need to know is this... I picked up a Q6600 G0. Now I don't have a socket 775 cpu apart from this one. Will this motherboard boot with a Q6600 G0 and give me a CPU ucode error and then allow me to flash the Bios or will I have to order a bios chip/p4 775. As I don't even know what bios is currently flashed on the board at the moment...I'll be getting a PSU for it next week. Just wondering if anyone has had any problems with G0 on an older bios as I haven't seen this mentioned in the thread?
Again thanks for all the information it really has helped this noobie a hell of a lot.
if your have just ordered the mobo then you should be good the bios will support quad core if for some resson you get a older board and the bios is out of date you will most likly need to get a new bios chip flashed.Quote:

Thanks for the quick reply, I only picked up the mobo 3 weeks ago, I figured it should be OK for quads. When I looked at the board it had rev 1.03g which made me wonder- I thought it would be a 1.04g with a new-ish bios. I'll probably pick up a P4 anyway, may as well have a spare.
Thanks again.
I too have spent the last few weeks reading all "245+" pages of this massive thread. The info here is invaluable and could almost be consolidated into some sort of Overclocking white paper or technical journal on the Asus P5W. My system is as follows (approx 5 weeks old):
Asus P5W Deluxe
Intel q6600 quad core G0 Stepping (boxed August 19, 2007)
Thermalright 120-Ultra Heat Sink and 120mm Antec TriCool fan
4GB Ballistic memory
ATI Radeon 2900xt
WD 150gb Raptor
Antec p182 case
Running Windows XP w/ all updates installed
With that said, I received a 1.04g revision of this board from ebuyer, and the BIOS on it was 1901. I installed a Intel Q6600 quad core cpu, and it recognized it immediately with no issues. I do get the incorrect CPUcode at bootup, but everything still works fine.
I read throught all pages on this forum before I attempted overclocking. Disabling everything I didnt need, I'm able to get up to 3.2ghz (fsb 1422, bus 355 ) with no problems. The system remains rock solid at this OC and I can run 20+ hour loops of Prime taxing all CPU's without a lockup. Half Life 2 Lost Coast Stress test can run for hours also with no issue.
I've had to adjust my MCH voltage to 1.65v, Mem voltage to 2.2v a FSB voltage of 1.4v and a CPU voltage to 1.4v also. PCI Express freq is at 110. Memory timings are at SPD.
Running Prime for a few hours, CPU 0&1 reach about 55C, while CPU 2&3 reach about 51C.
This is all on air colling only. I can get the system to boot and go into Windows at 3.4ghz (bus speed 378 x 9 multiplier) and remain stable with Prime for 20+ hours also taxing all 4 cpu's. Temperatures go up ofcourse, with CPU's 0&1 reaching 59C and 2&3 reaching 55C after several hours.
I can not run 3D games at this setting though. Half Life 2 or Bioshock will launch, but after 2-3 minutes, the game crashes and I get some sort of ati.dll error and thrown back to windows, or a hard lock will take place and the system will reboot.
Can anyone recommend some settings to adjust to try and get the videocard stable at these settings? Obviously the CPU has no problems at this OC, but the videocard doesnt want to make the leap from 3.2 to 3.4ghz it seems. Would increasing voltages in certain areas help this?
All in all, I love this board and CPU!! I'm amazed how much the G0 stepping allows me to overclock and temperatures remain very low. I was a bit leary initialy reading other peoples problems getting the G0 to overclock with this board though. I'm not sure if its the combined factor of having the latest rev board, or still using the 1901 BIOS, or possibly getting lucky with a good yield on all the pivotal components I've place in the system so far? But I'm amazed that an off the shelf quad core CPU could go from 2.4ghz to 3.4ghz so easily?
I'm confident I can get the videocard stable somehow at 3.4ghz, I'm just not sure what to adjust at this point voltage wise?
Cheers!
-Chris
Edit: An added note:
I originally had a second ATI 2900xt in crossfire configuration. I could not get the system stable in 3D games at anything above 3.0ghz (and even then, games after a few hours would crash, getting ati.dll errors). The performance of Crossfire also was dodgy at best with some games, so I returned one of the Radeon boards. Using only one Radeon card, I was then able to get up to 3.2ghz rock stable running anything. Clearly, running in Crossfire configuration seems to limit the potentials of Overclocking in some way?
try putting your pci-e lock back to 100 see if that helps
Rich
Firstly nice o/c there orrimarrko, I could not get my Q6600 stable above 340fsb on this board unlike my E6600 which sat 400-420 fsb 24/7( which bios? , I used lawry's), anyway was really posting to say this thread has been very helpful over the last 12 months and to wish everyone who continues to use this board all the best. I have jumped ship to a P5K-Premium which has allowed a 400fsb and my target of 3.6 out of my Q6600 and will also post and prime @3.8, although temps a bit toasty. Hopefully this will not be seen as thread crapping , more a farewell.

Hello, i can´t pass 388mhz ddr2 corsair xms2 TWIN2X2048-8500C5, and if i pass the 388fsb in the motherboard the system become very unstable, i´m using the 2206 bios, what is the best bios to overclock that have best stability ??
thanks!!
sorry to tell you i had that same kit of ram and was never able to get it to run at 1066 or even close it has to do with the motherboard not supporting the ram at that high of a speed.Quote:

But like I say, with a lowly E6300 and an old P5W DH that tops out at 1.65V vMCH, I'm not sure any of my results can be compared to what other folks are getting...
I Got my new Q6600 today and popped it in. It runs pretty well. I have not had time to really play with it yet.

As you can see with my liquid cooling heat won't be an issue
Than I ran 4 x pi just to see

It went pretty well.
Then a shot at 3D06. I was very happy with the CPU Score!!

My 4 sticks of memory liked the lower fsb. The timings are nice and tight!!
I will tweek on this machine over the next few days and weeks and just see what it can get out of this chip. Right now it is off to a good start.

Hey Lawrywild
I use your bios:
P5W-DH-ASUS-Deluxe-2004-G0-45nm-Edition (Modified by lawrywild)
Does it support with a Q9450 if i buy that processor ?
I wanna buy that proc but i dont know if the bios you made can support the Q9450.
But if i flash the bios to 2302 i think EIST and other problems with Vcore and Audio enables after boot are back if i flash it to 2302.
If it not support the Q9450, do you make a new bios that support the Q9450 and that have no problem with EIST and Multiplier and the Onboard Audio and the Vcore ?..
Forgive my ignorance but is there already a bios out that allows tRFC and tRD changes?
Nope, pretty sure there never will be.. :mad:Quote:

- the 66M0AG has been working great since July 2006, 6700 QX B3 or Q G0 @ 3.0g, with either 2 or 4gig RAM @ 500/1000, 3:5.
- not as stable at FSB320/3.2g and 4gig RAM, however...
my box is 6AM0AG from zipzoomfly on 10/16/06Quote:

thanks
we need to know what cpu you have and what bios you currently have installed.Quote:

It has seen volts as high as 1.675 today and tonight, but now it is running nice at 1.6 in bios. here is a shot of my latest 3D06.
I am running the memory, all 4 sticks on turbo, with 2.3V 1:1 with my timings set at 3-3-3-5. Soon I will be over 400 and climbing.
As you can see temps are not a problem!:up:

The issue is that the "onboard audio" and the "serial port" stays enabled, "NOT" disabled.Quote:

Donseba you will have to go and snag afudos 211 load it onto a floppy along with the 2004 bios image stick it in the floppy drive go into bios and set your floppy as your first boot device and boot. it will go right on into a dos boot and just do what is needed to install. Now if you have done something wrong it will let you know that it can't read your bios or whatever. do not panic just pop out the floppy and restart it will boot with your current bios and then start again. when I went back I edited the number portion off of the bios.
Instead of putting P5WDH2004.rom on the floppy. Rename it to P5WDH.rom
this is how i went back from 22xx. Still if you are going back I think i would fall back to 1707, run it for awhile and see how you like it. if you don't then load up 2004. stay away from the 19xx bios' as for me they sucked too.
Good luck, you can read tutorials on using afudos, it is really easy but, for a first timer it can be nerve racking doing this stuff. If you totally screw the pooch there is asection on bios recovery in your P5WDH manual.
If you read up you can do this!!
WZ
used to disk one for dos boot and one with afudos and bios boot to the boot disk then put in the afudos and bios fallow the directions good luck

I want to change my ram, now im using corsair xms2 6400pc cl4 2x512. im looking for sth not expensive 2x1GB pc6400 which will allow me to set them 1:1 with 400fsb. I had some problems with corsair while there were working in dualchannel with 400fsb(errors in memtest random sequence number).
what do you think about it?
i have upgraded bios to 2301 and it seems to working fine for me with 400fsb... So i dont know what to do now, buy 2x1024mb or buy another pair corsair 2x512?
Turn on the Asus update, choose Options and put a mark on Bios Downgradable. Then you can flash the older bios.Quote:

My target for this machine was 3Ghz and I never quite made it, and if going "stock" with a new CPU would do it, that's the way I'd prefer to go now...
I have this Mobo(obviously) and I currently have:
E6600
2x1GB Crucial Ballistix PC6400
Should I upgrade to:
Q6600
4x1GB Crucial Ballistix PC8000
Or should I just get another stick or 2 of PC6400? I don't know which is better memory wise nor processor wise on this board. I am assuming quad core for twice the l1 and l2 cache. Let me know, thanks!
I'd go with the second choice.Quote:

Your next upgrade will most likely be DDR3.
hello, it´s normal the temp of the chipset on my p5w dh deluxe, 45° with 1.65v ?? and the cpu e6420 @ 3.1, FSB is in 1.3
thanks again!
Say I already had the PC8000 Crucial Ballistix and I was coming from PC6400 Crucial Ballistix. I currently have 2x1GB PC6400 Ballistix, but would it be worth it to throw the 4x1GB PC8000 Ballistix in or not? Thanks.Quote:

Is it safe to run a Q6600 @ 3GHz 24/7
I know that the prosessor can take it, but will the motherboard?
My motherboard just became extremely unstable after running 24/7 with 3Ghz. Suddenly it just can't run 333fsb anymore. Only just about managed to get it stable at stock with 5-5-5-15 @ 667 =/
Sad to hear lawrywild :(
Could be almost anything; your PSU, RAM or CPU giving in. Have you visually inspected your board? It might be a blown cap or a burned mosfet.
This thing used to happend in the '875 -days', when overclocking Prescotts had a nasty tendency to kill mosfets and caps around the cpu-socket.
Have no profe of this, but I have had a suspicion for some time that the PWM on this boards is to weak for Quads (oc quads that is). My advice is to sink the mosfets, at least when using watercooling.
Hope you find the faulty component.
Brgrds, Roger.
Not looked yet. I went for a nap in the afternoon. Woke up 2 hours later and pc was rebooting itself constantly and wouldn't boot up for like 10 minutes. There wasn't any burning smells or anything but I'll have a look.
Nevertheless, I will buy a new motherboard around xmas time..
I've been running my G0 Quad @ 3GHz (334fsb) for more than a month now, with pretty much the same setup like u... 4GB Gskill HZ, 2x TT spirit II but w/ active fan... and also 2x 120mm side fan for memroy and sb... everything is running on stock volt... I just never had any problem with it under any circumstances tho. Could it be a heat problem to your nb/mosfet, or maybe not enough power?
yes thats normal, asus tech has told me that nb/sb chipset shall not exceed 65°C, search for my previous post, I've quoted asus tech support about this issue.Quote:

lawrywild may i ask what rev is you board i havew a 103g am thinking of getting a quad myself since i can find a e6600 under 170 or so. so may as well go quad
Rich
103g here and its seriously holding my X3210 back :(
Had it @ 3.4GHz in my other board......Only reaches 2.8GHz on the P5W DH
Hey guys...
i think i had seen once here, i am not sure in which thread, a thread with many pictures from several bios settings with the volts from o/ced P5W DH boards...
Rings a bell to anyone?
ps: Is there a guide for o/cing this board...?
Thanx in advance...
A rookie-one
well you can read all 248 pages or do a search or google it or ask questions in here
Rich
1.02G, the orig
I am sooo relieved right now! Opened up my case and my TT Spirit II was lieing on my graphics card!!! It managed to lever out the soldered U (n) hooks that was nearest the ram. I managed to bodge everything back together using the hole next to it, that you use to mount the motherboard to the case and everything seems to be working fine again! Soooo happy!
The chipset core was just completely bare so clearly was overheating like mad causing the freezes, hopefully that heat didn't do any damage though. Seems not to have done so far but I'll prime blend again tonight.
Wonder how long until the next hook gets yanked out... :(
Lucky sod! :D
It's a miracle nothing shorted on your videocard.
:up:
Good thing the mobo survied!
I had 2 Asus 875 mobos died because of this very same thing. (Used a waterblock that loosend)
My P5WDH is modified in this regard - drilled open the holes on the two 'missing' hooks and soldered 2 more in place. Pretty straight forward.
brgrds, r.-
I know! No idea how that worked, the metal clips were like going across about 5 caps and mosfets lolQuote:

Also I remounted my cpu cooler and temps dropped 2'C idle so far and AS5 no where near burnt in yet :)
glad to hear your up and running again clo call there could taken the board out or the north bridge:up:
Rich
Wow, you mean the darn hook just popped out of the pcb?
I thought the lever of the cooler popped out of the hook.
If the solder join is just broken a bit bigger soldering iron will brighten up your day.
Using the 2 unused "holes" in the pcb might be a good idea.
I've always had a dislike for this hooking mechanism, especially with aftermarket coolers, i hope Intel takes notice and ditches those hooks.
I haven't seen 'm on the newer chipsets, let's hope it 'll stay that way.
Yep the whole hook. The metal didn't break, the solder just couldn't hold it and out it came. It has happened to someone else in this thread before, using the same chipset cooler. probably around half way through this thread. He mounted it back by a similar method to what I did. Luckily for both of us it was that hook and not the other one..
The Paperclip solution :cool:
:up: thanks thats great now i know how to fix think that was done wit some of the old p4c800s also years age good to refesh your mind
Rich
:up: from me too
This is the first Asus board I've owned that has this retention system for the NB (owned many others), and I have to say that I am not completely comfortable with it. I also currently have the TT Spirit II installed and my first reaction after Lawrywild's post was to check my own installation.
I'll soon be switching to water-cooling, but will still have the same concerns regarding these 'hooks'. At least I now know how to fix the problem if/when it happens :)
Thanks for the info.
