HAHAHAHA No, You asked where do you get them and he said the seller. As in ask the seller for them. :rofl:Quote:

OK, thanks for the info.
How do I know for sure which revision board I have?
its printed on the board by the ram slots 102g 104g etc

I have a question for lawrywild, what's so different about the P5W-DH-ASUS-Deluxe-2004-G0-45nm-Edition bios that you created for this motherboard ????
Your answer is already in this thread. Just go and do some reading, I'm tired of answering the same question. (In future, anyone asking this question will be ignored).
I Just flashed the bios to 2302 and speedstep still doesent work!!!
You ignored my questions to..Quote:

I'm still using 1503, its been running smooth for a long time but i have some sound problems in vista with games, i read in other forums that updating my bios would do the trick.
My question is what is the most stable bios out of all of these that would maintain my 3.2 gigahertz overclock of my core 2 duo 6400 and also be stable with no bugs? Or hopefully allow me to push to a higher overclock if possible. I'm using OCZ Platinum Revision 2 2GB DDR800 PC6400 ram. It wont boot even if i go one megahertz past 400, so yeah. Can anyone please lend a helping hand?
EDIT: just tried the 2004 mod bios, booted up ran load setup defaults, did not clear cmos though, but still runs great. I went into bios set up my overclock options and it runs awesome, all i gotta do now is run it with games and see if it solved the problem, vista needs a lot of work.
What is memory remap feature and what is better for OCing disabled or enabled. what is dram throttling too? do i need it? and what about the CPU thermal control what would that do if i disabled it. sorry for all the questions guys its just i always wondered if i really needed these options or not and what they did.
Google search of this site for "dh modified 2004 bios"
http://www.google.com/search?as_q=dh...ghts=&safe=off
yeah you right i can use the search funktion.
But its to diffecult to search what you want for a answer.
And i see nobody with Kingston Memory so if i search i dont find something thats give my a answer to my questions..
My ASUS died yesterday after shutting down the PC using the PSU switch (i shut down using Ubuntu 7.10 but the PC was still poweron for some reason then i decided to use the back switch)...
So... i tried to use the ASUS recover bios utility with the CD and also using a pendrive and nothing happened :( so i guess i am one of the owners with the EPROM chip screw, no? )
The system now doesn't post at all and even the 8600GT bios doesn´t appear. The PWON led also turns off after 15secs but the systems is still pwon... no idea..
My mobo is rev1.04 and i hope the store give me the same one at least, is there a higher revision ?
For sure its the mobo or i should doubt about the E6400? i don't thinks so, should i?
PD: I tried everying: ClearCMOS, CLEARCMOS after having the baterry out for 45minutes, unplugging every power cable.... :'(
Hi all,
I'm not sure if this question has been answer or not, i try to search and can't find any solution on this.
Let's me cut to the point, I have 2 SATA drives Maxtor 200GB SATAII and Maxtor 160GB SATAII, I would like to use those 2 drives as an individual drive (JBOD) on ICH controller with AHCI mode (if possible). I tried many configuration.
Let's me break it all down to you
Config 1: 160GB connect to the red port and 200GB connect to SATA 3 black port and IDE DVD burner to black PATA port --> none of the drive show in the BIOS (Jmicron disabled, IDE set to AHCI).
Config 2: 160GB connect to the red port and 200GB connect to to SATA 2 black port (the one close the CPU) and IDE DVD burner disconnected --> only 160GB show in the BIOS (same setting as Config 1).
If any of you have a solution for this, please share, I would really appreciated.
Thanks
Tommy
there was this memory utility i was using that allowed me to customize my settings in windows, i forgot the name and cant find it when i google it, anybody know what it could be called? its not memset, its something else. more comprehensive.
How do i find out what revision my mobo is?
Are you sure the PSU is allright?Quote:

OK, then mine is 1.02g, too. Lawrywild, if you get a chance you may add to the first post where the board revision is located at, for future reference.
I'm going to be upgrading my HDD's (hopefully this week). When I get everything backed up I think I'll play around with it a bit more to see what I can do. I did have some trouble getting my 2GBHKs to run 4-4-3-5 @ 2.1v, so maybe I can work that out. Any suggestions?
Same question I just asked, and got a reply here:Quote:

Try Exper Tool.
I'm using it in XP with a XFX 8800GTS but dont know if it works on Vista..
You can find it here:
http://www.gainward.net/support/XPRT_50.zip
If you have an E6750, the default multiplier is 8, correct? That means in order for you to run 4GHz you need an FSB of 500 x 8. Admittingly, I haven't seen everything, but I've been told these boards top out around 480 with a v-mod. That means 3.8 GHz roughly.
OK, just out of curiousity-
I am currently running the board with 2 x 1GB G.Skill F2-6400C4-2GBHK. Would I have better results running this board with a set of F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ?
On my rev 1.02 board with a vMCH mod running at around 1.8V the max FSB I can hit is 420fsb stable with two sticks of ram. With 4 sticks of ram 400FSB is the stable max.Quote:

I spent over $200 on a new case and Thermaltake V1 cooler thinking my previous equipment was faulty, and it turns out that the room temperature seems to be more important.
I'm now 10C cooler most of the time (as low as 42C instead of 52C; Orthos ran up to 62C a few times now 54C maybe), while the room temperature has only dropped a few degrees F. The AS5 didn't seem to miraculously cure weeks after a desperate reapplication. All that happened is high 80F's and low 90F's outside has turned into low 80F's and high 70F's.
It's really annoying to find I'll be overclocking from October through March then overheating from March until October, but unless I do something I expect that pattern from this year will repeat itself soon. The upgrade to a hotter CPU will likely require liquid...
I don't have an E6300, but I did have an E6400 and now have an E6850. From my extensive heatsink testing with the E6400, I had the following temps in the attached image below. I can assome you would see similar temps under similar conditions.
BTW, the stock voltage is wrong there. It should be 1.35v. All temps are listed in C degrees, and room temp was kept within +/- 1 degree.
Google says: 25 degrees Celsius = 77 degrees Fahrenheit, which is close I guess. That's what the thermostat in the other room is saying now.
OC'd to 2.87Ghz, my idle tonight was 44C. What qualifies as Load: Orthos?...
For my testing I ran Orthos "blend" test and took a reading at exactly 30 minutes.
You are at 44C idle with the V1? I find that hard to believe. From everything I've read, the V1 should beat the Max Orb, which I had tested above at ~30C idle. How did you apply the AS5? It should be in a thin line across the center (lining up with the notch on the IHS). What about your BIOS fan settings? Are they all at stock?
No fan control, all spinning at will.Quote:

I guess since I've never seen temps as low as the 30s while OC'd since getting the P5W DH, it's always been good enough to get by on but not great.
I'll work on it. Thanks...
Huh. Dropped back to no OC and the temp fell no further than 41C so far after 15 minutes. Maybe the heat needs time to dissipate, but I'd expect just like post-Orthos testing that it'd fall faster than THIS...

I'll worry later if/when the temps do jump up...
I upgraded BIOS from 1602 to 2004 last weekend. With 2004 the vcore is locked on "auto" and will not let me change.
I decided to revert to 1602 using ASUS Update and checked the Options menu radio button accordingly, but now that says that 1602 is not compatible with this mobo and won't let me downdate.
So I'm stuck on stock.
There must be a way to get past the "AUTO" limitation on 2004, eh? WhattaIneeds2do?
phogger
Hm, I think you have to be in manual oc mode in order to customize the vcore, I haven't touch mine for a long time, so I am not 100% sure
Yes. I had it running in manual mode with 1602 and expected to be able to replicate the rest of the setting with 2004, but could not change vcore after working my way down the page. . .Quote:

Finally received my 2900xt, and put it all together so here are some of my initial findings with a Q6600, board revision 1.03g running bios 2301:
Q6600
2GB Gskill HZ
2900XT 1GB DDR4 (o/c 838 Mhz Core 1150Mhz GDDR4)
Max stable FSB I cold reach 350 X 9 3.15Ghz
VMCH 1.85 Volts
Vcore 1.35 Volts
All other volts on stock
Gskill running at 2.1v 890Mhz 4-4-4-12 (This stuff is great I had it running at 1000 Mhz 2.3V and it was fine, just backed off as I'm new to this overclocking stuff)
Temps are 30c idle, 40c load- Thermalright Ultra 120
Orthos Stable for 9 hours
I tested Lawrys 2004 G0 bios but prime/orthos failed within minutes at 333 x 9
(Although Bioshock ran for about 4 hours at 1920 X 1080 with no problems)
The 2301 bios was much more stable for me, The system will even boot with a 400 x 8 but it hangs after post or will crap out at the windows loading bar. Anything between 351 - 400, The system will boot but highly unstable.
By the way.. all of the above is running on air.
That's my 2 cents, If anyone knows of any other settings I could try as I think I got lucky and there might be some more in this board for me.
Thanks again for starting this thread, the amount of information I learned here is staggering. This is my very first system build and I didn't have 1 problem assembling everything and setting the Bios thanks to this thread.:)
you know I have been running this board for well over a year! This has been for me the absolute best board and system I have ever had my hands on. I have had my hands on many systems since 1979!! It has completely out-performed anything previously thought to be fast. I ran my Presler daily at 4800mhz my prescott 3.2 daily at 4400mhz, My 3.0C daily at 4086mhz and my 2.4C daily at 3637 mhz these were all extremely fast systems but they all completey fall by the way of the Conroe. now I have moved on the the Q6600 and with this new processor it is time to move on to a new board also. I just this evening ordered a new Asus board with the X38 chipset to run my new processor. My 11 year-old son Matt will take over the P5W DH along with the E6600 Conroe processor. We have a P5NE-sli board here but he want the P5W. I don't blame him So if there are to be any more posts from my place it will be from him and his thoughts. Good luck to all of you that run this board. I still believe it is worth the price you pay for it.
WZ
Good stuff :) I totally agree, this board is now in my other rig and still performing brilliantly, along with a E6600 also. Never had any major problems with it and has been the most stable board for me to date. :up:Quote:

You're definitely being held back by the board. I have a good feeling that E6300 has more room in it. Try max FSB testing @ 6x multi.Quote:

If you have a clean disposable surface to work with, you might squirt out what you can and mix it up, then carefully apply it in a line like AS recommends. I would think a small rice-sized squirt like we did on the AMD CPUs would not be enough to fully cover the core on these Intel chips.Quote:

The real work will come when I get my next CPU (best 45nm 4-core I can afford since 8-core sounds like a 2-year wait for good price), so I'll stick with what I've got for now...
I was using SpeedFan to monitor mine (CPU reading, not Core 1 or Core 2). If you'd like, try running that and see how your numbers compare. I'm at school ATM, but I might try Core Temp later on.Quote:

I'm in the EXACT same situation as you. I've had 1503 running for a LONG time now (since it came out) with a nice stable E6600 @ 3.4/3.6GHz OC. I don't wanna mess that up, but I'm going to be installing Vista x64 this weekend and want to make my box is "ready."Quote:

Turn out one of the hooks that hold the NB cooler in place had completely broken off and cooler was just dangling there and not making contact with the chip. I superglued the hook back on, but it was too weak to hold the CL-C0034 in place, so I had to put the original NB cooler back on.
Few weeks after that the top PCIEx16 slot malfunctioned, so I had to move my video card (Sapphire Radeon X1900 XT 512MB) to the bottom slot, but not long after the video card died completely (tested with 3 different systems and monitors).
Bought a 7600GT to replace and just few days ago the 7600GT is also dead. Now here’s a nub question: can overclocking the CPU with increase NB voltage kill or shorten the lifespan of video cards? The video cards were not overclocked.
It's either that this mobo is shortening the lifespan of the graphic cards I put in it or I am just very unlucky.
I'm about to buy the 88000GT and now I'm unsure about putting it in this MB. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I decided to use 2004 (Larrywild's-BIOS) until just reading about an "Official" 2004 BIOS-- Which one? :confused:
I have an older P5W-- Revision 1.02G. All components to remain the same as well as XP.
Yes I intend to overclock but do not expect to hit 3.6 as with the E6600.
Appreciate input.

i would use Larrywild's BIOS the official bios dosent support quad's

Thanks w2richwood-
I suppose I need to flash before I install the Q6600?
well yes if its the go stepping it may boot but not be right

It will POST OK but you will get the CPU microcode error which was happened in my setup, just flash to the next BIOS and you are good to go.Quote:

What is the difference between your modded 2004 and official 2004 BIOS?
tia
Sparx
The only difference is that his modded bios has the microcodes for G0 and 45nm CPU's added.
Yeah, so yesterday I got my other 2x1GB sticks of OCZ Plat Rev2 6400 memory for a total of 4GB. I'm planning on going Vista x64 this weekend.
Anyway, I installed the additional 2GBs in my box and completely lose stability. I ended up having to drop my total OC from 3.4GHz to 3.2GHz on my E6600. I'm kinda pissed. I spent 3 hours trying EVERYTHING. RAM timings, voltages, MCH, etc. I'm not fully certain I'm totally 100% stable @ 3.2GHz - I only let Orthos run for an hour.
Damn. There's no way I'm forkin' the $$$ for 2x2GB DIMMs either, so I guess I'm stuck with this. I'm on 1503. A newer BIOS wouldn't allow anymore stability, would it?
Brahmzy-
My experience is much like yours over the years. Two sticks of RAM overclock better than four. Not really your fault, just a fact.
I want to get 2 sticks of 2gig for a total of 4 gigs but I wonder how that would effect my OC. Time will tell.
sparx
you need to up your ram and nb volts when running four sticks of ram
Rich
Been there done that. I tried about 20 different combos of voltages trying to get things stable - no go. The only thing that brought stability was dropping my OC by 200Mhz.Quote:

i cant downgrade bios from 2204 to 2004... i tried to dwonload 2103 and the same errors occurs: version of bios is older..
what can i do ?
I had the same issue when adding 2gigs a few months ago, but I think my bios update may have helped. I'm using 2302 and XP runs perfectly with the same overclock.Quote:

One other annoying issue is the fact that if I play videos in winamp 5.5 I get hangs with a loud beep coming from the speaker. If I use windows media player, that issue disappears - odd...
Use afudos v2.11 or 2.17 or use asus flash in windows (not recommended) and tick 'allow downgrade bios' or whatever the option is.Quote:

I thought this board was bullet proof, Didn't have a single problem with my first system build running 333 X 9 Q6600 3.0Ghz and then....
I went to burn a cd last night and the system froze, Rebooted, to test the burner NEC 3500-A played a DVD, copied a DVD, played a CD, everything fine. Went to burn a CD again and the system froze and I got a bsod. Rebooted and tested again, another bsod. Gradually this got worse until the drive wouldn't read or burn anything, it would just cause a bsod as soon as it tried to read a disc. I figured the drive was broken as I have a 250GB hard drive also connected to the ICH7R IDE which was working fine.
I removed the DVD drive from the ICH7R and tested it on the JMicron. It worked fine. Attempted to reboot and the system wouldn't boot. Reset CMOS still would not boot. I removed the 250GB hard drive from the IDE on ICH7R and system booted up fine.
Now anytime I connect anything to the ICH7R IDE the system won't boot. I checked the pins, all fine and tested 3 or 4 cables. Although I'm also running a 40GB SATA hard drive on the ICH7R and it's fine. I guess the IDE is dead- great, that lasted about 3 weeks for me :-(. Thank God the Jmicron can do ATAPI. Hard drive and DVD that were connected to the ICH7R are now running perfectly on the Jmicron.
Anyone come across a similar problem?
Lurker I have found the ICH7 ide to be poorer than the jmicron yes.
Hey guys, hope someone can help me, I have VERY irritating problem here now with my new ram (Crucial BallistiX PC8500 4gb).
First I will say that the ram can run up to 1180mhz CL5 stable without problems with 295fsb on cpu, but the problem starts when I want to use 380fsb. When I choose that I can choose between 950mhz, 1013 and 1140, I want 1140 ofcourse. So I choose 1140 with CL5 on 2.4V, XP is loading... and then BAM Bluescreen and restart! 1013mhz don't work at all, black picture only. So now we have only the 950mhz remaining, and that works, but I have paid for ram that almost tolerate 1200mhz and then you understand why I dont want 950.
PLEASE, what is the problem here, what can I do to get 1140mhz to work with 380fsb? I consider to buy Asus maximus formula, but I dont want to because p5w is good enough, please dont let me sell this board.
I have the latest bios, 2302. Im grateful for every help I can get.
Cpu-z now:

I am waiting for ASUS to actually come out with a non-broken Bios...
As Station Drivers already lists tons of new Bioses for the whole P5B series, I am hoping that
ASUS also has some of their coders doing a debug of the P5WDH bios.
It is so annoying to be stuck with a broken Bios for now, what, 4 months?
I am VERY interested in this - I've never heard this. I just ordered a 3rd WD740ADFD Raptor to make 3 in RAID0 and a 4th WD2500KS HDD. This is forcing me to enable the JMicron BS. If I don't have to, that's great news.Quote:
