1506 is sweet! 1506 is the first bios that allowed me to do 400FSB 1:1 ;)

So is there any bios that can eliminate this problem yet? I'm getting my G80 on Monday and if possible I wanna be ready.. :)Quote:

I had a bad board too. But it was more like not recognizing the Raptors on Raid and not being stable after 20 minutes. No overclocking at all. The temp was also 47C (normal for that board supposedly) but the replacement board I got is only 39C with a Zalman 9500 AT and a Antec P180B case (total crap if you ask me get something bigger).Quote:

Also, another weird thing I've experienced is, even if my ram can handle ddr-833 1.8v, at 333fsb 4:5 = 833mhz ram I have to set over 2.00v to get stable. Same thing happens at 356mhz fsb, where I need 2.20v to run 712 lol??
So I'm thinking if you have D9 try pumping 2.40v and setting 2:3 5-5-5-15-5 and see where that gets you.
Thats some buggy RAMsetting ASUS:slapass:
i got GSKiLL 2GBHZ - need 2,1V to boot at FSB335 divider 4:5 = PC836 - on FSB266 i need 1,9V. WTF asus!
Now we need the RAMspd Problems fixed
+Vcore adjustable when C1E+EIST enabled^^

Downloading and installing latest BIOS & Drivers helps reducing installation problems and instability of your system. Don't use the drivers on the accompanied ASUS CD of your P5W HD Deluxe motherboard!!

Hey everyone!
Been a while since I was overclocking the opteron...decided to jump the gun and go for a Core2 Duo:
E6600 L631
ASUS P5W DH Deluxe (1506)
OCZ PC2-8000 Platinum XTC
Triple 120mm Rad Water Cooling on CPU
X1900XT
OCZ PowerStream 600W
I'm having a problem getting to 350FSB for some reason:stick:.
vCore=1.6v (in BIOS...1.55 actual)
vMem=2.2v
vMCH=1.65v (more doesn't help)
vFSB-Term=1.4v (more doesn't help
vICH=Auto
DRAMfreq=700Mhz (I've used it over 800Mhz without issues)
Hyperpath3=Disabled
DRAMtiming=SPD
PCIfreq=33.33Mhz locked
PCIEfreq=100Mhz locked
PerfMod=Standard
Any ideas? CPU's not the problem...I've hit 3.02Ghz and am now running with a multiplyer of 8 instead of 9 and still no go. So the FSB needs some work. Also...I am running Windows Vista RC1 and I get BSOD while login loads.
Looks good to me. . . .Quote:

I've hit 400FSB and total stable at 370 FSB/3.33GHz.
This is my first shot at overclocking:

verification is here
My voltages seem low but the system is stable. Going to get a phase change unit from jinu117
next and see how hard I can push it.
F.E.A.R. with max settings is a real treat on this system! I bought the Dell 24" widescreen and it is AWESOME. No dead pixels and 1920x1200 rez....SWEET!

Thanks for the info! :)
As I suspected...Vista isn't as stable as I'd like it to be...but then again...it's RC1 that I have...I gota grab RTM soon;)
I'm on XP now @3.15 and still going:banana: Idle: 37C full load 51C
Hope I'll get to at least 3.6...more the better :D
As a side note...I understand Windows XP installation taking 15min...but Vista also took 15min...and that was at stock 2.4Ghz!!!
Does this motherboard still have the problem mentioned in the other thread where the shipping BIOS is not compatible with core 2 duo CPUs?
It's very unlikely that you'd get one with a BIOS that old now.Quote:

Wow, cool. :D
Is it possible to take the heatpipe cooling off also? It'll be watercooled, I'd rather add a cheapo waterblock to the chipset at the end of the loop than use passive.
Gigabyte mobos make it a real pain in the ass to remove that stuff, almost as if it wasn't meant to be removed.
Also, are open box models on newegg older models?
Heatpipe is very easy to take off.Quote:

I doubt u'd find one that doesn't support Core2...unless if ur buying it from someone that had the board for a long time.
My board that I got 2 days ago came with 1305...so my local store did have a load of these from a while ago but ASUS officially supports Core2 with 1011...and as others said earlier ones will work as well.
As an update, I'm enjoying this board very much as well as the chip!:toast: I am now at 3.86Ghz with memory 1:1 at 430Mhz. I can't go any further now though, I actually think it's the FSB that is limiting me now as I attempted 8x multiplier on my E6600 and going for higher. Though I'm pretty sure the CPU is at its limit with my cooling system anyway. All in all: :banana: :banana: :banana:
All that's left to do is Orthos!
I've read that a lot of conroe mobos will not POST with RAM that requires higher vdimm.
Is this one of those mobos? Is there a recommended RAM list for this mobo? I am looking at this right now.
My RAM is spec'd @ 2.2v and the board posted fine. You might want to read the reviews on that RAM. Maybe a lot of it is user error, but there seem to be a lot of unhappy owners with Conroe systems.Quote:

I have 4GBs of ram which the system sees but where it states "system memory", it looks like this:
Size: 4096MB
Appropriated: 1152MB
Available: 2944MB
What causes this? What is "appropriating" 1152MBs of memory?
