any of you guy`s know if the iP965 chipset is the same as the "C2" P965 ? I keep seeing those iP965 boards :)

Um, no need to be rude, dude.
Use the search--this topic has been discussed already.
The new revision from Intel mostly just fixes some errata, but there was one good enhancement (don't remember). You may want to search the Asus thread as someone posted the spec sheets directly from Intel.
Hey all. What a great resource this thread/forum is!
Just got my P5W last week. RMA'd it because I felt the stock 51C idle mobo temp was a little high, even with AS5 on the NB and SB. My new board, stock thermal, has the same temps. Go figure. I guess I shouldn't worry about it if that's the case after 2 boards.
I've only been trying to overclock for a few hours, but I seem to be getting some pretty nice results. 3GHz at 1.275 vcore. I think I could even get the vcore lower as I have yet to have any boot issues/system instability.
The only thing I'm curious about are my temps. I'd like to run the OC 24/7, but I really don't know what's considered safe for regular use with the Core 2 Duo. With my Zalman 9500 at max I idle at about 48C core temp (36 speedfan) and load with Orthos at about 71C core temp (60 speedfan). Also, I'd like my system a bit more quiet, so I'd prefer to run the Zalman a little slower. Any suggestions on a good idle/load temp range for air?
Thanks!! Can't wait to keep on pushing this mobo!
here is what I got today ( running rig for 1h50 now) and 72h after remounting system ( chip lapped + better apply of thermal paste )Quote:

before changes my chip idle at 46° under asus probe .....and TAT /core temp still good ^^
Those are the temps I would like to see. I'm stable (for at least 1.5 hours), but these idle/load temps just seem too high for my comfort.Quote:

I have the same case as yours. Would you suggest replacing the stock fans? I think I have to replace at least one because it's rattling my case.
Here's me...

Good news - thanks for sharing. This issue has been bugging me for someQuote:

I replace front fan and one rear fan stock with 2 papst more efficient IMO @1400 RPM 120 mm , still quiet , stock gigabyte are only 900rpm .Quote:

So i just flashed the BIOS from Asus' FTP. No Problems using AsusUpdate. So it restarts and i set all Settings like before. Only that this time is try FSB335 for fun.
Booting right away and i start SuperPi 1M to check if the 1MHz+@FSB(9MHz+@CPU) shows up in a Test. And than SuperPi shows me a great 16,812s with the first run! the weird Thing is, that with FSB334 my best run of many was 17,015s! Thats -0,2s faster.
I cant explain it, neither have i any theory. Is there any1 out there with the same weird Results? Maybe i was on the wrong/slow Strap before with FSB334? Anyone can do i fast 1M with the same FSB to check my Result?

Got a problem with Vcore settings.
When I set to Auto (which is default CPU Vcore), Asus Probe and the BIOS Hardware Monitor gives me 1.17V-1.18V.
But when I decided to o/c the chip, the lowest Vcore setting in the BIOS is 1.225V! :eek: Setting to 1.225V gives me the same reported 1.18V and 1.25V gives me reported 1.21V. So I'm wondering is the board pumping 1.25V, or it's only 1.21V as reported by software?
I'm on the 1305 BIOS that came with the board. :)
And I got another qn: The earlier chips had higher default Vcores of around 1.30V and the 'general guideline' is 1.50V on air-cooling. Now that we're seeing chips with 1.2V-thereabouts default Vcores, is the safe limit still 1.50V, or it should be dropped to 1.4V-ish (meaning we follow a +0.2V max. limit)?

I got my rig up to 380 x 9 stable with Orthos running over 12 hours.
I am approaching my goal of 3.5.
However it requires 1.51 volts to be stable with Orthos. I can get into Windoze with 400 fsb, but stability is the #1priority.
I see some of you have temp monitoring programs through Windows, could someone provide a link for those? I would like to get a reading on CPU temps as I am running Orthos.
BIOS says my temps are 32-33C which is decent with 1.51 volts and air cooling.
I am still on the 1201 (shipping) BIOS and running SPD.

Systool is great, and it can be used to provide data for Samurize, so you can make your own displays..Quote:

hi, i am looking for the best bios for P5W DH? what do you recommend for me?
1503
I tried several different bioses for this board but overall so far I would have to say 1503 also. Good luckQuote:

This is at 405fsb with same bios settings and corsair 8500c5.
I like that the board dosent cut off all the power with 1503 but the memory thing now sucks.
The 1503 bios didn't resolve my CL4 issue with my 8500 C5.
Still not able to boot with cl set to 4 - gets a BSOD with a error on a 'USBxxx.sys file.. Any suggestions?
What about the Checksum error (just after flashing) 1503 is that a none issue?
sparx
It is perfectly normal to get a checksum error first boot after a BIOS flash. What would not be normal is if you had a checksum error on subsequent reboots.

Ok
Thanks Phil
