P5W-DH 0801 New Official Bios

On ASUS official site, the new Bios version 0801 for P5W-DH. is ready for download.
ftp://dlsvr03.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/s...e/P5WDH801.zip

Wonder whats changed. No readme file and no info on the support site.

I hope they included the BIOS Profile Saving feature on this one. Someone report if you decide to flash, thanks :toast:

I don`t see any Profile :confused:

Thanks for the heads up, Ramguy. I'll flash this one later and see how it goes.

So this is about the 10th BIOS out there for the P5W and there's no data describing the differences??

What the heck is Asus doing with this BIOS "Du Jour" strategy.

They have yet to fix this mysterious Vcore issue.

no ES support removal i hope :eek:

I second That!!!

but wasnt the 0901 released?

yes, but 0901 is not official, 0801 is.

anyone tried it yet ? :confused:

can anyone explain:

will x6800 retail post on 0504 shipping BIOS?

if it wont do i need a celeron to update to 0801?


thanx

0504 BIOS and higher will support the Conroes.

Be nice if they gave us some FSB enhancements with this new BIOS. Maybe Asus is having as much trouble as everyone else getting their hands on a retail conroe to do big testing on.

Flashed it, was going to flash to 0088 again but now it says that it's too old or might not be compatible with my M/B. Asus Update (windows app) says EEPROM doesn't match bla bla. Could they have implanted something so it's not possible to use betas anymore?

well i sure hope they didnt cause thats just mean
hope there are improvements though id say more people need to test it but if it cripples your board and doesnt allow beta then i think id stay away

Asus Update won't let you flash older BIOS's (so i'm told). I think you can get round that by going Options -> BIOS Downgradeable. Check that, and you should be able to flash older ones inc. beta BIOS's.

If you flash using Afudos, you can downgrade.

Not with 2.21 but 2.07 will ;)

Still no fix for Vcore problem, my celeron D stays on 1.35V (bios set 1.4V)

so quiet here .. so, what about improvments with this 0801 ?

Is it me, or does the P5W DH bios update feel like Asus is saving on QC and passing the testing phase onto the people that buy their P5W DH board?
I hope they wont' start charing 5 dollars for a download next.

what is the Vcore problem????

I have the 0801 bios on my computer, and I see NO difference what so ever between these and the 0701.


I'll update if I find any issues.

Like i said, they do testing by letting the bios into the wild and having customer find their bugs for them, then they release 20 bios per year, which are really fixes, and dont' really add anything new to the bios worth mentioning :)

Well i will see how it goes, if i really get pissed at them, i will order the Bad Axe 304 and flip ASUS the finger. :slapass:

Or maybe, change the P5W with the Gigabyte DS4 or DQ6...

Never used a Giga motherboard before, always used Asus and Intel in the past.
Don't like 965 mother boards, i like the 975 based motherboards only.

I updated from 701 to 801, below are the things I noticed.

1.There is a overclocking profile in the ai options.

2.When I used to go to the hardware monitor area of the bios it would take several seconds for the screen to load. Now it loads right away.

Nothing negative so far for me.

so it's still have OC profile in the bios like 0901 ?

I never tried bios 901. All I can tell you is 801 has a oc profile option/setting in the ai section of the bios.

Wrong. I've tried all and they won't. Just 701-901
