board;) This board can easily default voltage for over 420 fsb
http://www.ocxtreme.org/onepagebook/...wspromod01.jpg
32m passed only 1.54v air cooled for 6800?
http://www.ocxtreme.org/onepagebook/...o/wspro32m.jpg
will post Single stage result later;)
nice go for max fsb next :D
nice buddy, so the vmod from J is working good?
Is this the same board?

very promising fsb, default 1.55v MCH I think
http://www.ocxtreme.org/onepagebook/...o/realtime.jpg
I'm tempted to get one of these instead of waiting for RD600. Was that FSB obtained with a stock board or did you need to do a vmod/vdroop mod?
This board should be especially useful for those of us with PCI-X SCSI controllers.
God this is looking sexy, What kinda fsb will it do out of the box?
So how long before this board is actually available in the channel?

Does the board allow to change the multiplier via BIOS? If so, which multipliers are unlocked?
very nice OPB!...better than i expected...do you have a retail to try on this board?
forget it buddy..i just ordered one...couldn't resist!
i haven't been this wild with ordering hardware in eons!:D
thats it - im ordering one on wednesday when i get my paycheck
hehehehehehehehehe...see what you started OPB!:p:
make sure you get it at ewiz - only $308Quote:

Thanks for the heads up Ender17:) I'm considering buying this board and selling my P5W DH.
E-Wiz is OOS, better hit TankGuys....
yeah, it's completely gone from ewiz's siteQuote:

It's not on their main site yet, but it's in the forums as of today...
Per another thread, see here:

This board is back up on the eWIZ website, but how can you tell if it is in stock?
i currently have the non-pro version with a d940 and its been one of the most stable boards i've ever tested even at freqs~5.0ghz
i'm definitely getting a Pro version when it finally arrives in Greece
(mostly for my pcix LSI 300-x8)
what i'd really love to see
is some max stable bios-set Fsb on a B2 retail 6600
if anyone has the prementioned combination please let us know what thiS board can do with the new power-hungry chips out there..
thanx in advance
I woudl also like to see that.Quote:

Well ZipZoomBendover has the DH listed for $299, so $308 for the pro isn't bad considering.Quote:

everything else seems to be about the same

lol, it will be a little later tonight (eastern time) before I can get home and get it up and running. I plan on changing the NB/SB coolers from the start.

Sorry don't have any screenshots to remember exactly, but I am hoping, since I killed my DH "accidentally" (pulled a chip off doing a mod, ouch), that it will at least do that and maybe 9x423 1-1 this time or 475x8 1-1 would be even better. High fsb on the x6800 seems harder to obtain than on the lower end conroes. I want to maximize my cpu speed, so I'll be working from at least 3800-3900 on the cpu and then see what multis/fsb does from that. Maybe the 1.8v Vmch will help this board over the DH 1.56 limit.Quote:

update: screw calling them - if it gets backordered, i'll cancel it - but mine's ordered! f***** w00t! :banana:
Easiest board I have ever set up. Not one single glitch. Don't know OC potential yet. It took along time to mod the chipset sinks etc. Instead of reading much lower vcore, it now reads quite a bit higher. Not really sure what the real vcore was on the DH or is on this one. A few more options in the bios than the DH, but more or less the same with the shipping bos having the Overclocking save feature in the bios. Bets bios feature is 1.7 and 1.8 VMch option. 400+ tests as soon as I am able. CPU temps still read high as far as I can tell about on par with the DH reads.
Would appreciate this too since i got a 6600 with DH ;)Quote:

Any know the multimeter vcore read point on the WS-PRO?
I think I'm going to re-seat the cpu block tonight and place a temp probe in there to see what the effect iof the higher vcore really is. Without alot of testing and very unscientifically, this borad just seems a whole lot beefier and robust than the DH. The 8 pin secondary power connector probably helps also. I still have to do a whole lot of fiddling to figure out the benefits of the extra VMch up to 1.8v. etc.
As much as i would like to spend over $300 on a motherboard i don't think i will. I certainly don't have any usage for those two PCI-X slots.
That dosent sound good :(Quote:

Keep in mind that the ws-pro bios reported vcore is as much as .05v over what it is set to, and in the DH, it was a bit lower than what it is set at. So it is very hard to compare apples to apples. In either case I'm not sure what the real vcore is without a multimeter read point of the WS-Pro??Quote:

Also if using manual memory settings and different mem dividers works correct at that fsb.
The actual mem timings used makes no difference to me.
ive seen this question ask a couple of times but no one answered them
1) what are my multiplier options in bios with a x6800
2) what are the vcore and memory voltage ranges in bios
3) etc. etc. etc.
the bios options are the one thing you cant really tell about a board untill you have one plugged in and start playing with it. i dont need pictures or anything just a quick list of what my options are going to be.
Thanks
Lee
vcore has more options than you will ever need. by the .125 icrements.Quote:

I haven't chosen any multi past 11 with the 6800, so i don't know how high. it goes as low as you want.
There are alos about six or so mem divider choices.
I'd list more for you but I'd have to reboot and write it all down. ;)
I've been messing around with vcore and temps all night, trying to figure out why this board needs higher vcore than the DH and why the cpu temps are so much higher reported than the DH.
As an example, 1.525vcore set in bios = 1.56 reading in windows = 1.591v reading at a coil leg with a DMM. Water idle temps in bios at stock boot are like 31 deg. At 1.53v at 3900mhz, bios reports cloe to 60's temp. Under load in windows at those settings temps reported by asus at 70 deg. (by the way the sides of my water block are not even warm and yes it is seated fine, checkd and reseated a few times) also the DH at the same settings was reporting about 10 to 15 degrees lower. Something is clearly off with those temps even with the higher voltage. In any case the system seems stable even at those rediculously high temp reports. Oh and the vdroop under load at say 1.58v drops down to 1.55v.
Sounds like a really nice board, im gona be running on SS Phase anyway so temps dont bother me, next time you reboot if you could just tell me how high the cpu multiplier goes i believe 11 is default for a x6800 i would like to know if it goes to at least 16 or 17?
thanks a ton for answering all my questions.

At this point I'm still not sure if it would be a significantly better solution than the DH, availability of PCI-X slots aside. I'm wondering if the high temperature readings are an anomaly of your particular board or something we can expect from all P5WDG2s. We need more input from some others that are using this board. Thanks again for posting your data:)Quote:

I think that many people are showing very high temp readings in general on the Conroes. What is clear is that any voltage increase over default has significant temp increases, or at least reads that way. Because I have had no luck getting a temp probe in an area of the core that would show accurate temps as they relate to the on die temp sensor, I still don't really know what to think about the readings. I guess stability will rule the day in the end, temps aside. There is just something about watching temps in the 60's that is unsettling.
edit: multipliers from 6 to 20
I got tired of waiting to find the P5W DH for cheap and DFI to release the RD600 so i guess i'm going to go ahead and try this board out since it looks pretty solid even though it's rather expensive but that's to be expected since it's a workstation board with more features. I ordered mine from eWiz for $299 today.
Question, how well is the heatpipe cooling going to work on this board when it's inverted in a Lian Li V series case? I'll have a 120mm fan blowing towards it which should help but i've got an Abit AB9 Pro right now and the heatpipe cooling on it sucks. The little NB sink gets so hot you can't stand to touch the center of it for more then a second.
I would remove the heatpipes and put active cooling on it or water.
xgman thanks for the multiplier numbers. As far as acurate temps go try this program it reads the core temps directly from the temp sensors built into the cpu, I used it on my newer amd fx processors and it works great. Its still in beta and im not sure why MB manufactures dont use this information but according to the guy who wrote the program all newer cpus have built in temp sensors actually in the core. this program reads the temps directly off the core of the cpu so you dont have to worry about motherboard bios calibration. Its free and the user interface is non existant but its a good way to get an acurate reading of what your core temps actually are and it has a seperate reading for each core. for example core1 -38c core2 -42c :) that was with an fx-62 using Single Stage phase cooler. There is a link this guys program on this site as well but i found this link faster so here it is. Also this guy claims that it works with conroe processors although i havent tested it yet.

I'm guessing that the Main 4 SATA II ports offer native SATA support and that XP will recognize them automatically during and after setup. Is this correct?
What about the other 3 ports? Do they also offer native support or is a driver needed for NON RAID functions.
If so, should the driver be installed during the windows setup or can it be done after the installation completes.
TIA!
My P5WDG2 WS Pro is on a UPS truck and will be here sometime next week.
For UK consumers: Dabs are showing 1-2 weeks on this board at a respectable price of £172:

You shouldn't need any SATA drivers for installing on the ports that are run from the Intel host controller. Usually you only have to install drivers when you're dealing with a third party controller like Silicon Image or JMicron. And yes, if you did have to install a SATA driver it would have to be during windows setup.Quote:

The three additional ports will require the driver install, but they can be single disks or as a part of a raid array.

What about the Thermalright HR-05 (or HR-05 SLI)? Would that be cool enough (in a case with one 120mm fan in the back)?Quote:

At fsb 2 350x11 it seems to be fine with timing at 4334.Iam trying to make up my mine on getting ocz pc2 8000 vx2 or the corsair 6500 c3 and then trying to fined them.

good news but 355 x 11 on phase? have you tried uping your multiplier?? Im gona be running about the same setup except for the ram ill be using Corsiar TWIN2X2048-8500C5. I was kinda hoping for something closer to 355 x 13 or about 4600mhz :) Am i dreaming???
THanks for the reply

bump how are people doing with this board, mines up and running on phase have to leave town so i cant really test it but im up to 345x12 1:1 but ive got something wrong because im only getting 10030 score on 3dmark06 with a single 7950gx2.

I am only getting 8300 with the 7950gx2, but that is at totally stock speeds.

i see guys on futuremark or orb posting 12,000 3dmark06 results on a 7950gtx at conroe cpu speeds like 3650mhz or 3800mhz, im running at 4140 with a slighly overclocked video card and only posting 10,300??? someone with uber smarts please explain what im doing wrong??
thanks

Those of you that are running the 0004 beta BIOS, do you have vCore options below 1.4v after flashing? For some reason i don't now. I even shut down and removed the battery (which was a pain in the $#$!) and then cleared the CMOS but i still don't have anything less then 1.4v now.
Also, how far are the temps off on this board? I'm using the stock Intel cooler on my E6300 till i grab a new cooler in a few days and i'm doing 2.8GHz (400Mhz) 1.4v and hitting like 82C under load in PC Probe lol.
I just went back into the BIOS again after rebooting and now the lower vCore options are available again. Don't know what was up with that. How come i don't have the option to lower the multiplier like some other boards do? I would like to lower it to 6x and see how high the FSB will go. I'm at 450Mhz FSB right now but even though the CPU seems farely stable i think i need to change the settings somewhere cause the FSB/Mem doesn't seem to be.
me too with the multi option...i think we will have to change it with an MSR editor..but..that seems such a damn hassle..the AI Booster says it can but mine does not.
1)Mmm...i also lost the vCore option below 1.4v after flashin' 0004,but somehow it appears again when i reboot.Quote:

So what are the BIOS setting ranges for this board?
e.g.
vMCH, vFSB, vCore, vDimm, etc.
this was in an earlier post
vcore has more options than you will ever need. by the .125 icrements. (i know it goes above 1.6)
vdimm is max 2.4v
Vmch is max 1.8v
multiplier goes to 20x
cant remember the rest of the settings sorry

I'm kinda torn between this card adn the P5W DH deluxe. Could we have a rundown of the basic differences between the two?

The two long ones are PCI-X slots, for 64bit PCI cards. The differences have been asked previously I am not sure if it was answered though.Quote:

Sorry to resurrect this old thread but is this till a good 975X board to get?
I could finally make proper use of my PCI-X RAID card and have OCing too. WOOT.
I have a 6600 on this motherboard, O/Ced to 3.2GHz, runs very well, will O/C (stable) to 3.55GHz, I would recommend using Ram that uses Micron D9GMH/D9GKX chips, I am using 2GBs of Crucial Ballistix PC6400 on it. :thumbsup:
I am looking to get a Xeon3060 for this board but have some good low latency Geil RAM. Is the board picky about RAM? So far these sticks work good on my Commando board.
I did use a Geil PC6400C4 (GX22GB6400UDC) 2GB kit on this motherboard for a few months, had a E6600 @3.2GHz running well, highest stable overclock 3.45GHz with the Geil Ram, so there is no problems at all using it with this Ram, but I think it runs slightly better with Ram that uses the Micron D9GMH (and I would think the D9GKX chip as well) chip, rather than Elpida chips. :)
