what power supply are you using? you may be right in thinking you were stable before you overclocked your video card.
The funny part is that EIST is there, it disappears only if you use 45 nm CPU. I put my old QX6700 back and EIST works as usual.Quote:

On our board... in order to increase the Mhz of the memory Ram... the only factor is the Vdimm?
Of course i am not talking about a tight FSB:RAM ratio...
I have the following ram:

Even with a 2.25 volt on them and 3:4 ratio, i can't get them over 870 MHz...

Any suggestions? (or my dimm sucks?)
I believe what he's saying is that you may not have enough power. I know in the past I had an Opteron 148 that could do 3.1GHz+, but after a while of video card upgrades I found the CPU would barely do 2.9GHz. Turns out I was over-loading the PSU, and in turn starving the CPU.Quote:

I Have a big problem. I've received today the E8400,. After installing the computer is not booting up, there is also no sound of error from the bios. I've tried to put back the old cpu, but the same problem...Did i do something wrong? I did not broke anithing on the mobo, aparently. The bios is 2602 version.
did you make sure to clear cmos after installing the new cpu?Quote:

I have my Q6400 OCed to 3.2 ghrtz, at a 1:1 ratio using OCZ DDR2800 2 gigs platinum revision 2 RAM. I want to throw in another 2 gigs of the same ram, would that impede my OC or affect it in any way? would i have to reduce my overclock?
Anyone tried some clocking E8400\8500 with this mobo yet? Speculating about buying one E8400, and i am waiting for x48 asus mobos.

Sometimes it stops at bios for about 30sec before booting OS. Did not have that problem with E6600. Hopefully ASUS releases non beta BIOS with support for Wolfdale.
Do you know which are the CPUs supported by the new BIOS?
On Asus website, CPU support page, nothing can be found as for the new bios 2602.
My principal interest is to see if finally QX9650 is officially supported by this main :D :D
Can someone with a E8400 at 3.6GHz post your 1meg SuperPI score?
13.016sec. I can post a screenshot later. This is with 1:1 divider @ 5-6-6-18 timings.Quote:

So you say you use 1.65v? i just switched mine to that last night. mind posting your other voltages? I'm trying to stabilize mine too and would love to know your voltages. thanks!
when i turn off the switch of the psu and then turn it on, the pc boots up!
why does this happen? How can i prevent this "auto-boot"?

the latest one, whatever that is. my daily driver speed on this mobo is 400 FSB. i can do that with all the chipset volts in the pink. i had to max my chipset volts to get it to run 425 FSB, so i figured the few extra MHz weren't worth all the extra voltage. i just set it to 425 for some bench runs and put it back to 400 when i was done.Quote:

2504 or 2602. i used 1707 for a long time, but recently starting using 2504 and i'm really happy with it.Quote:

i guess worst case scenario it won't boot.
this BIOS has crap options for the E8400. i have to set my Vcore to Auto because the lowest manual setting is 1.45, which is a bit extreme for these new 45nm processors. running it on Auto sets it at 1.225. stable as can be.Quote:

Im about to install the latest 2602 (2nd release within a month?! :mad: )
Last week after not being able to run a stable 3G overclock (around 5.5 hrs is when I got the 1stg error in Prime 95). I then loaded defaults and ran memtest for about 30min the next day thinking it might be the memory. After coming back up to my room to check the status...the PC had shut off...not reboot...shut off.
I then tried to boot up again and it would not post at all. It would simply shut off after about 30sec. I initially though it was because I was bumping up the mem voltage from 1.9 to 1.95 so I tried to restore defaults but it would still not post.
The next day I opened the box up and tried testing the RAM. I took both sticks out. I then put one back into one of the orange slots I've always used and it booted right up. I then tried the other orange slot with the same stick (same story). I took that stick out and did the same with the next stick (same results).
Next I stuck both of them (dual channel config. like I initially had). I booted up...the post took VERY long...after almost a min on the initial splash screen...I considered it a bad post and restarted. I tried again and it posted...very slowly (not sure if this is dual channel related-it seems to be).
So anyway I set the RAM to run 800mhz @ 5-5-5-15 with 1.9V (factory "overclock" settings) ran the latest memtest version for about 3 hours and it seemed fine...about 6 tests and no errors.
I booted up this morning and got the BIOS message the "overclock failed" :confused:
This board is beginning to be a real pain in the ass. I could have got an MSI Neo series for half the price and from Im hearing nowhere NEAR the amount of trouble that this board is providing.
T_Ski: thanks for the in-depth response to my posts, man ( appreciate that )
....off to try an other BIOS
yeah, i put it in the 8400 thread. it's kind of off topic in this one, seeing as how i'm not using my P5W anymore.Quote:

Please help me over here,
yesterday i tried to flash from 2504 to 2602 just because i love always to have the newest bios ver.
so from a weird way ASus EZ doesnt want to let me get the update running, it just freezed when i tried to enter it showing me the files from the USB Flash A:\ and C:\(was the usb) i tried without the usb flash and it was still freeze, freeze means i couldnt move between the files i had in the usb files i had like 3 ROMS, and without it i couldnt do CTRL + ALT + DEL thats how it freezed.
So i said i will update from Winxp using Asus Windows Flash , turned off all Overclocking ofc and before in Asus EZ. and everything was smooth, reset and to configurate to LOAD DEFAULTS, reset, booted, so it look liked it was freezed, so i reset again and it freezed again, ( i think it wasnt freeze because as you know when you do the Defaults it activates the slow FAN Controls so it gives it more 7 sec or something, and i forgot it at the time) so i turned the computer off, and when i turn it on it didnt boot. I Was IN SHOCKED*, tried everything, pulling memory sticks i have 4x, pulling the power cable, reset CMOS, everything i could think off. so i was at thinking i leave the computer for the day , thinking about RMA and such.
*I KNEW the motherboard is not dead because everything was smooth, no error and i did everything like i always did. but i just thought about moving foward.
So after the day i thought what the hell before i am going to store i will try to turn it on, and POOF magic, it booted and works. but i saw i cant change the CPU VOLTAGE and i dont have EIST anymore, where did they go ?
please help me restore them and if someone could explain the weird syptom.
***FOUND THE FIX FOR EIST. DISABLING THE CPU RATIO MAKE EIST TO APPEAR

I just tried this again with RAM at 667Mhz 5-5-5-15 with 2.0V. I got an error in Prime95 about an hour into testing so I bumped up Vcore to 1.2625. Im about an hour into it with now errors yet.
My plan is to run the Prime95 for about 8-9 hrs. If the results are good, I'll then run memtest for the same amount of time.
Again, Im not sure what is giving me the inconsistent and odd results (Im fairly new to this). Is it the BIOS, the RAM, RAM settings, CPU, CPU settings or MOBO-I dont know?
Im using an OC guide from Toms forums and have all of the basic settings:
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/24...ds-duals-guide
Do you guys have CPU VOLTAGE and EIST using 2604 Bios ?
because EIST is gone and it says to disable it for changing voltage, well of course but its not there and its Enabled. What's wrong with it grr, i cant do any overclock without changing the cpu voltage.
***** NEVER MIND : i found the fix, Disabling the CPU RATIO makes it EIST to appear and then i can change the CPU VOLTAGE.
The 2 HD3870 cards I used are both factory overclocked versions - Gecube Turbo III (810/1125) and Powercolor PCS (800/1200) so that might account a bit for the score too.Quote:

Crap. Forgot the other two points I was going to put in.
I am probably going to try to put an E8400 into this machine because this e6600 overclocks so poorly. I can do 333 for months, but will die at 334 in 5 minutes. Something weird happening there. If the e8400 runs in the new machine, I will be a happy camper. If not, I'm onto a new board. Personally I am happy if it works because it has been a good board until this morning when it died...happily it was memory related. Strange in that I am use to hearing motherboard beeps with memory issues.
Getting late. Time to go....
Um.......what?Quote:

But ENABLE CPU Ratio, and the Voltage is STUCK at auto, because EIST is not available to be changed??......
That means this BIOS is worthless with an Extreme edition.
This sounds like a complete fatal bug, don't you think?
Not really...the reference design of the 3870 has a lower 3d clock vs the 3870 X2 but has better memory. When you have a 3870 in CF it at times performs better then the 3870X2. The major difference is the GDDR4 vs GDDR3. That's why IMO it's better the GDDR4 X2's (when they start to surface).Quote:

For me, my main peeve with the Asus BIOS is that pesky "Config Disk" which appears now and then as a new Hardware Detected by Win XP... such a PITA. Do you guys get this too?
I have already removed both jumpers and disabled it in the BIOS and yet it happens once in a while.
:)
I used to get that but not for like a year. Don't know how I stopped it..
Lately my computer takes forever to shutdown and restart. I'm talking like 15-20 minutes. Has anyone ever run into this problem?
Be more specific? Sounds more like a Windows issue if you're talking about shutting down times..
Yes it is shutdown times. I'm using Vista 32bit Home Premium. It just started in the last week or so. I thought that maybe I might be losing my oc or PSU is going.Quote:

I did not touch my registry but I did go from a 7800gt to ATI 3870. I also cleaned the Nvidia drivers at least 2x.Quote:

a P5W can easily do 350 FSB. just put your north bridge volts in the pink. i think 3.6 is probably right around the limits on a G0 Q6600 on air though. go through your overclock one piece at a time, use the process of elimination, and find out which component is holding you back from going further. the motherboard is likely not what's holding you back here.
My G0 chip barely reached a stable ( 18 hrs+ Prime95 ) clock of 3Ghz ( 335 * 9 ) on the P5W DH yet it can do 3.8 Ghz on the DFI X38 board with less vcore.Quote:

I'm sure make users here will agree with me that i975 isn't particularly friendly with quad-core CPUs.
But if yours is indeed stable @ 3.6, then congradulation !!!
it was stable at 3.6, but like i said, backed it down due to heat. never broke 100°, but got damn close while priming it. and no, i only prime for one full pass, i don't go by the "prime it for so long" methodology...Quote:

2. 2 x 3870's
or
3. 3870x2
I hope to keep this mobo until at least September so 2 X 3870's seems the best choice.
I'd really really really....like to get 2 x 3870x2 but as the P5W is lacking PCIE 2.0 I don't think CrossfireX would run on it as the cards would be running 8x / 8x - Each GPU would run at 4x That just screams bottleneck at me but I had a Google around and there's been no mention of CrossfireX on 975x/P965.
FYI- I guess my harddisk is dirty according to Vista performance. So I ran a lengthly chkdsk and it work fine the first time. I think I going to uninstall all my video and sound drivers and start troubleshooting.Quote:

First, is it uncommon to set the DRAM Freq to 400 so that the ram will 1:1 with the E6400? I've tried various bios setups. The highest overclock I could get was with the CPU frequency set to about 360. SO I read about enabling SPD to overcome that 360 barrier, which I did, even got the machine to post, but couldn't get it to load windows. Could that be an overheating issue?
Right now, i'm booted up at a CPU freq of 375, giving me a clock of 3ghz (375x8), but with SPD still enabled, CPUZ is saying the memory timings are at 5-6-6-18! So I dunno, it's time to seek experienced help I guess. I was expecting SPD to set the timings as low as possible for any FSB under 400mhz. So the CPU clock is great, but i'm not where i want to be in terms of the memory, but if i take it off SPD, i can't post.
Temps seem ok- CoreTemp says cpu is 38-40 degrees, TJunction is 85 degrees. Or is that high...hm.
Other voltage settings: mCH-1.55, FSB-1.4, ICH-1.05, Memory 2.2v, CPU 1.375v
Thanks for any suggestions.

i have the sam problem of "POST lock up during Detecting IDE Devices" it´s common in the p5w dh or it´s a motherboard error???

Has anyone gotten an E8400 to work with a P5W? I got my E8400 in today and decided I'd try it in my p5w since I'm not getting my new dfi dk p35 for a couple weeks. The bios I was using was 2504 and I just couldn't get things going with the E8400. It would post fine and I could work in the bios with no problem at all, but booting into windows was a different story. Windows would load but before my startups were finish loading the computer would reboot. In the bios it showed the default cpu voltage of 1.17 and I'm pretty sure that's pretty low.
I decided to up the voltage a bit and found that the lowest voltage I could set was 1.375 so I decided to give that a try. Again, it booted into windows and then rebooted. I go back into the bios to find the cpu voltage showing 0.98.
I went to the asus site and they show that the E8400 should work with 2504. Do you guys think I should wait for my dfi board to get here or should I give it another try using bios 2602?
give the 2602 a try and let us know how it works

Is there a card reader on your usb printer maybe? This happened to me when I had a USB HP printer/scanner if I left an SD card in the slot at boot up. Can't check it though as the printer now resides in a landfill somewhere!Quote:

Ah I'm getting really pissed off
I have a P5W DH 1.04G and an E6420, and before, because of heat issues i wouldn't go over 3.4Ghz with it (425 * 8). I had an old Zalman 7000B CU.
I just recently bought a Thermalright 120 Ultra Extreme, and obviously all my heat problems are over.
But that also showed me that my board won't go over 428 FSB no matter what I do! Vmch is already at max (1.8v) and it's cooled properly.
What else could I do to try and take it higher? Do any of the other voltage options matter?
My mem sticks can go up to around 1000 easily.
It's also not a processor issue. This very same processor used to run at 3.8Ghz (475 * 8) at a P5B Deluxe before I put it in my mobo.
Could anyone help?
Thanks in advance
Hey, Khalmyr
Alot of mobos are diff i found that i cant bring my 6750 past 3.6Ghz without crashing and thats with the 450FSB wall. And my voltage is upthere but i got proper cooling which makes me sleep better.
Im running 3.6 stable... But if i go 1FSB higher i go BSOD. And thats with my voltages up there and tried every setting possible.
And this CPU i had it past 4Ghz on a Maximus Formula SE. Friend let me play with his mobo while he was waiting for his wolfdale. :)
well, 450FSB is already better than 428.
I'm very frustrated that even though I bought a new cooler i can't overclock any further than what i already did.
any special adjustments to be able to use 450FSB 24/7?
when i start the pc the detection of usb devices is too much, it´s normal ?
I've P5W DH Deluxe and an E6600 running at 340x9= 3060MHz with stock volt, Orthos stable... and I want to go higher but, if i go any higher it results in BSoD :/ I've read the thread and I wonder if you guys have any tips for me?
The cooling isn't a problem, I've a Scythe Ninja which's cooling my E6600 and the temps is like, 25/40 which isn't bad? And yes, I'm running latest BIOS...
So, any tips?
Sorry no tips but,Quote:

I tried my E8400 again last night with bios 2602 and got the exact same results as I did with 2504. It would boot with no problem at all but reboot just after loading windows. I put my e6600 back in and all is well.
Do you guys think it has anything to do with the revision of the board? I don't remember the exact revision of mine but it only goes to 1.65 for the NB. The chip information reported is accurate, but when loading all bios defaults and then looking at the reported cpu voltage in the bios it reads at 1.75. The lowest voltage available for me to choose is 1.375 and I know that this is WAY off.
Any ideas?
Anyone else having temperature reading issues with latest bios (2602)?
Last weekend I upgraded to 2504(?), and after doing so my CPU case temp went up from 36 to 42 C (C2D E6600). I thought I had high temperature before, considering I'm still at stock clock but now it's ridiculous. The core temp hasn't changed though, it's still 50-52C (which is pretty high too isn't it?). So I thought this was something that came with 2504, but after flashing to 2602 the issue is still there..... anyone else seen this?
Btw, what's the highest clock anyone reached on stock voltage for my kind of cpu (E6600 C6 stepping B2)???
i run 355 24/7 and i'm going higher when i get better cooling...Quote:
