Asus P5WD DH @500fsb 32M TT BT chipset cooler

I dunno if somebody already done it but to gain higher fsb i build a Thermaltake Big Typhoon cpu cooler on the chipset :)

Asus P5WD DH Deluxe v modded
Intel E6600 es Mach II cooled
Thermaltake Big Typhoon chipset cooler
Ram sink's on the mosfets
corsair xms2 8000UL
WD Raptor 36gb hdd

cpu temp -21c (doesn't measure further)
chipset temp 30c at bios
chipset vmch 2.04 v

original cooler was given problems at high load, the TTBT is doing a lot better :D

if somebody got more extreme cooling on their chipset feel free to post.:D

mother of :banana: :banana: :banana:

thats incredible :toast: :toast:

Nice work, Rol-Co. That's the biggest chipset cooler I've ever seen. :eek:

I noticed you were running memory at 5-5-5 with 4:3 ratio. Can you get the timings any tighter?

2ghz fsb = teh new hawtness

Watercooling anyone? We might be seeing where better NB cooling may yeild to better results.

Watercooling the chipset generally yields about 6-7 more MHz on FSB with P5W DH. Not huge. More importantly, Rol-Co is using modded board with Vmch at more than 2v. Unmodded board only goes up to 1.65v.

How much did the BT increase your max FSB vs the stocker?

2.Xv instead of 1.65v also increases max FSB how much?

I'm going to have a similar setup, except I want the system to be 24/7 useable and I do not want to use mega voltage.

I guess if you are going to do the vmch mod for higher FSB, this Big Typhoon, water cooling, or something better than the stock passive heatsink may do the trick to prolong the life of this board.

Looks like I'll be cooling my NB with a TEC or something :)

omg !! i use TTBT to cool cpu lol wow ur insane man. whats next? tunic tower 120 for chipset ?lol

SICK. That's sick :) Congrats!

@sierra
thank's ......isn't he nice :) it fit's on the milimeter :D
i'm running @5-5-5 becouse the memory can't go that high on the 4:3 divider, verry strange imo
1:1 i've tried and stops @ 482 , both 2.65v
so something weird is going on on the asus with divider 4:3

Maybe gonna try a waterchiller too, got one here (-10) with swiftech chipset cooler

@vengance_01
seen phase chipset cooling somewhere in the topics :D

@andrewzorn
the tt bt increases the fsb from 504 max load 1m til 520 1m vs stock cooling, most increase is @ load, the ttbt is a good cooler for heavy load, it amaized me too
2.04 increases fsb from 454 (1.65v) til 504 @ stock cooler and 520@ ttbt

this is not for 24/7 , becouse the use of a pci-e graphic's card isn't possible annymore above 1.90 v
1.75-1.78 (max 480fsb) is ok for 24/7 use with good cooling.

Is that limit because of the boards design or because of the bios?

Maximum chipset voltage in BIOS is 1.65v. Everyone who's done 500+ FSB has done Vmch mod. Hehe, now Rol-Co is going to remind me to do mod on my board. :D

@Rol-Co
With 4:3 ratio, I was able to run 3-2-2 timings (Corsair 8000UL) with FSB at 465. Maybe I'll try loosening timings to see what happens.

Holy crap :slobber: That's one :banana: BIG nb cooler :clap:

Absolute_0 was trying watercooling the chipset, but found it quite difficult, because of the crappy clip mounting. The waterblock had trouble keeping a good mount.

Thats why you want to instead locate the two closest holes to the NB in the mobo that are not for cpu mounting, and use them for mounting.

May you show the max possible in 1:1?

Thanks

the closest mounting holes are on the edge of the board, more there isn't
only the two clips

but with 2 hooks it is possible

the ttbt is standing on 4 pieces of sealstring prevent from falling over.

@sierra
got same thing here, 3-2-2 timings is possible @450-470 fsb but not faster in pi as 4-3-3, losen the timings this time to 5-5-5 to be sure i got no probs with the memory

thats sick but with this u have to use pci gpu

Max 1:1 ,.......doesn't matter what voltage on the mem , if its obove 2.50 its ok

or you keep the voltage below 1.85v and pop in a pci-e :D

I've a question..how can you use these cooler with the orrible retention clips of asus' chipsets?can you post an image of the clip you used?
thnk you very very much:)

this is probably gonna be viewed as a puss question, but do any conroe boards have fsb to ram ratios taht are less than 1:1...?

The P5W DH can run 4:3, 1:1, 4:5, 1:2, etc.

anyone having onboard network issues ? Neither of mine work for more than 15mins

I have that problem in linux. Windows works fine for me though.

No onboard network issues here.

For mounting, all you got is two clips with a hole by one of them. It's not much. I'm determined to fit my MCW30 on it though, i paid good money for the damn thing.

what bios did you use for the high fsb?

@PcCI2iminal
works verry good indeed, the 60 degrees is verry high for the 330 fsb, got the infinnity here too,can't pass 370 fsb
did you gain higher fsb already with this board?


@fabius88
no clips used, the cooler is "standing" on the chipset, it's not possible to put this in a case becouse of the weight/length
it wil pull the clips right out of the board

@graham h
bios used is 0602, and working fine no problems here

I downloaded the latest drivers from marvell & also disabled the Wifi device , in order to stop the lan from freezing .

Rol-Co,
I have the same problem with the 4:3 divider on my board. I came to the conclusion that the board just can't handle tight timings at high FSB with tight timings. 5-6-5 is fine with 4:3 thou.

At 4:3 you can run very tight timings (3-2-2) up to around 465 FSB. After that, you need to loosen a bit.

Hi,

what's a safe voltage for VMCH if i use the stock heatpipe-cooler (with capped cover) for NB and a 80mm fan blowing on it? Can i use the full 1,65V for 24/7 or is it too much?

Sierra,
In my case, 390FSB using the 4:3 divider at 4-4-8. 4-5-4 doesn't help any, 5-6-5 all the way up to 415FSB at least thats how far i've tested. Seems the 4:3 and 1:1 dividers are the only place i have problems with tightish timings. I tested 4:5 to make sure it wasn't my ram, 4-5-4 all the way up to 455mhz on the mem (not sure on the FSB). I've had about 4-5 guys help me and we've all came to the same conlcusion that is must be the board.

Could be the board. Results also depend in part on the RAM. I've been using Micron Fat Body modules which can run very tight timings. In order to get up to 470 FSB, I loosened timings to 4-4-4. Using 5-5-5 did not really help.

NB on phase anyone?

Already done with LN2. ;) Cooling the chipset will only get you so far. Vmch voltage is much more important IMO. Just about everyone who has done 500+ FSB was using a modded board. Some unmodded 965 boards have done 500+ with Allendale. But as both Anandtech and guess2098 have shown, 965 is slower than 975 chipset. Doesn't mean you can't be happy with 965.

That's insane. Good show!

Sierra,
Intresting.. i'll pick some generic DDR2 up from work here tonight and see what happens.

Sorry for going semi-OT rol-co.

Are there any detailed threads on the NB v-mod for the P5W-DH? Been searching but haven't seen any descriptions, just mentioning it.

Doh.

doesn't matter m8, i'm interested in the memory/asus mystery too
you said , same problem.......not realy
i can run tight timing if i want at 4:3, try'd different settings like 3-3-3/3-2-2/4-3-3/4-3-2
they all work fine, but maxed out on 370-380 so if you can do 480mhz 4-3-2-8 1:1 why not at 4:3?
same timings @ 4:3 max of 390-400 5:4 getting even worse, tryed the mem on the dfi infinity and gettin a nice 530+ c4-3-2-8 with less voltage
asus give me 482 max doesn't matter the voltage , bin to 2.9v :D , so its the board.

i got same memory as sierra, the 8000ul fatbody chips and 6400 c5 (also fattie chips on it)
so both shall be the same but i'll try the 6400 sometime too
maybe some team memory will help, safe this for the infinnity.

1.65 is ok for 24/7 , maybe higher also but rip of the digital home thingie and skrew a 5cm fan on it, the power connector is already on the board for it :D

or a 8cm fan blowing on the chipset in some other way.......it's gonna get hot if you don't

only 380 @ 4/3 0707 bios (water)

Holy :banana::banana::banana::banana: batman!

Nice work there. Hmmm, looks like the P5WDH might get the nod here. Wonder what ATI and nVidia are going with their chipsets...

ziet er goed uit :) ( nice :cool: )

I stumbled upon this north bridge cooler while surfing the web. It is the Forcetake JTS-0006 Heatpipe Chipset Cooler from JingTing.
i wonder if it is better than the stock cooler.
There is a review at hardwareXL.
It is sold in the US at Sidewinder.
Don't know if any supplier carries it in the UK/EU.
What do you think of it? Is it worth it? Would it help in overclocking the MCH for a 24/7 cruncher? Thanks.

Doesnt look like that has any mounting attachments for hooks? All the reviews I've seen of the "Forcetake JTS-0006 Heatpipe Chipset Cooler" from Jing Ting have shown them being installed on AMD motherboards, with holes around the NB.

I see what you are saying. Sorry.
That said, I noticed that PcCI2iminal has posted a picture in this thread back on 19 July of a NB cooler that somehow he managed to "mod" to attach to the hooks. Picture is not very clear, cannot tell.

picture is verry clear, that clear i can see its a intel badaxe mobo......

oh and he wrote it above too ..:D

I mounted this to my using the retention clip from the asus stock sink put through a rubber washers in the middle to help hold it down. Then I used mini cable ties on each loop. It's not super tight, but it more or less stays in place. he only thing about that unit is that the heatpipe is quite loose when you put TIM around it like it says in the instructions and the top pushes back and forth very easily, still it is better than the stock pos.

Appreciate the info. Any chance of posting a picture to help would be very nice of you. Thank you very much.

I've been following just as many threads as I can find on this P5W DH and i am having no where near the luck that these folks are. My FSB wall seems to be 356 with a E6600 B2 step, and i have to hit it with 1.5volts just to keep Windows stable. Back and forth on the MCH voltage isn't helping that any. More food for thought here, thanks guys.

can one boot at 1,85 ?from biose .couse im having trouble ,booting anything higher then 1,7v. 1.7mch boots fine ,and work myself op in windows . im i missing something here? is anyone else able to boot higher than 1,7mch ?if so which biose you using? would be nice if i can boot directly at 1,8mch without having to fix the potmeter everytime . what i can say though is ,that before the mod ,i was stuck at 408fsb with reatail 6600, now im at 437 fsb and 1,7v mch :) still testing .

im liking the peltier idea. I've got an old 72 watt from my p3 days. I'll have to pair that with my NB waterblock when i get a new ds3.

Just amazing :D
