Hi, i am crazy with E6600 B2 and Asus P5W DH, if i will set FSB above 285MHz my rig does not post, i have to reset CMOS ... is board or CPU wrong? Please post anybody settings of BIOS or some idea what is wrong.

try turning off hyperpath 3
I will try turn off it, i payed really lot of money for new MoBo, 8500 RAM and latest CPU and my OC is finally only 2.61Ghz .... sh*t ....
I was thinking the same.
Disabling hyperpath 3 let me get past that wall though.
Still, I think my cpu sucks, doesn't look like mine is stable 3ghz stock volts. How fking disappointing tbh
Thats really a bummer man. I think my 6600 is a crappy clocker aswell its kind of disapointing after seeing all these engineering samples. I can't get much post much past 360 fsb and its not even stable no matter the voltage lol.
Lawrywild whats the max clocks your hitting on that 975 board?
Oh man, thanks a lot! You are my Saviour ...:worship:

My problem is only crapy memory divider in this Asus MoBo, i cant use other than 800Mhz, i have 1066 Memories but this board do not to post with memory frequency above 950Mhz ...
Wow, one bios option and now your flying good for you! How much vcore are you using for 3.6? Is that a retail or OEM?
It is a Retail boxed CPU, 3.2@1.4V in BIOS and 3.6@1.5V in BIOS.Quote:

i couldnt get prime stable at 3.6, im super stable at 3.4 on 1.49v
all the mem dividers seem to be dodgy.
I have some trouble with the board too.
As soon as I want to set mem timings manually, it doesnt post. Not even when I set the same settings it picks with auto... Using a single 512MB MDT PC667 CL4 and lowest divider with 701 bios.
I can set the timings from 266-400, but cant boot at 401+ :/
Have to set timings to auto to boot.
lol no problem mate, I was sitting at my pc for about 2 hours thinking OMFG I MUST HAVE THE WORST CLOCKER IN THE WORLD. Finally found out the fking hyperpath 3 was causing it lolQuote:

I need to play a little more atm i'm 3ghz 1.36v... havn't really primed higher though so I dunno yet, need a few more days with this thing. It's really strange to oc but oh well, I'll get used to it at some point.. :rolleyes:
Sounds just like mine mate lol, seriously JUST like mine..Quote:

Also, like several here, you have to leave mem at "by spd" or no boot.
Sucks because I spent good money on this ram and the best I got right now is ddr 900 with timings of 5_6_6_18 that I cannot change or no boot adn the divider is 4:5 At least it is a lot closer than I started and I am not sure how I got it better LOL For a while I was stuck at 2:3. If you try to use memset in windows.........crash and reboot.
But,,,, this 360 fsb wall has gotta come down!
I have tried 1.65 vmch, no help. If I try to use AiBooster to go up OR down with fsb from 360, windows locks right up. I tried to boot at fsb of 365, 370, 375, 400. nada
I have not gone over 1.45 vcore though. Thats as high as I am comfortable with right now on air. My temps are 38c idle at this vcore.
I jsut think something is screwy with so many people haveing this 360 fsb issue and the ram problems.
Wow! For about a week I played with my DQ6 and was about to return it because I couldn't get past the 360-380FSB with my retail E6700 either.Quote:

People who can't go past 360~370FSB, it's not because your board is crappy. It's by design. ASUS is forcing tight chipset timings at 1066 strap, which will set the FSB wall at base 266FSB +100FSB. (It's too long to explain and I just learned about it myself). If you want to go past that wall, you HAVE TO give up 4:5, 3:5, etc. 1:1 will take you up around 430 (333 base FSB + 100). After that you have to give up 1:1 to go up higher, but at that point the chipset will physically give up at 1.65V max. Again, it's by design. Asus went on the route to tighten the chipset timings that's why we see the fastest PI scores on this board. On the contrast, Gigabyte went on the opposite way (w/ DS3, I don't know about other models) and that's why we see such sky high FSB but their memory dividers/timings are all messed up.
If your memory is good up to 1066MHz, try running 1:2 @266FSB. It'll run like a charm. :)
I have Prime STABLE E6600 with FSB 400Mhz, FSB on this board is not problem for me. Really problem is the memory dividers, i have Corsairs 1066 but with this MoBo i can run them only 800@8-3-3-3 because any other divider (950,1000,1067,1100 ...) does not work, system dont post with these settings of RAM.
AMEN to that. Been saying this for a while.
My highest post with ES 6600 and P5WDH is 400FSB with DDR2 @ 800 3-3-3-8. It simply will not go farther.
That's the price we pay for having the 1066 strap locked.
Not a price worth paying, imho. How i wish it was simple, like the DFI NF4 Ultra-D days.
It is not working, if i have everything on default, FSB 266, and i set 1066 memory, no post ... i have 1066 memory and on Intel board they are great at 1150Mhz ...Quote:

So, this isn't a problem on other 975 boards where 1333 strap is an option?
yeh.. :mad:Quote:

The big problem is: if you select anything over ddr900 in bios, it will not even post. My ram is ddr 1000 4 5 4 15.Quote:

Tried 370X10 1.525v vCore and 380X10 1.55v vcore, 1.55v vMCH, mobo did post but crashed when loading windows. I guess my E6700 doesn't have 360MHz fsb wall, just need better cooling (currently on thermalright Ultra-120) and more voltage.Quote:

The wall FSBs aren't exactly set on stone. Some will go higher and some will be lower. And in theory, if you don't mind running your memory slower than FSB you can go up to 500FSB (which is 400 Base FSB + 100) And that's why you can select up to 500FSB. I've run Prime95 Small FFT @440FSB with 3:4 (memory:FSB)
Yes of course 365FSB 1:1 is better than 270FSB. (Unless you have an X6800. In that case I'd suggest you actually test each setting) What's important is neither your memory nor your board is defective. After a certain point, in order to achieve higher FSB you need to lower memory ratio. (on P5W-DH, that is)Quote:

I have the same problem with memory, like every owner of this board. If i will set frequency above 950 = no post ... because i have E6600 (multi 9, FSB 420)with maximum 3.8Ghz i can use mem divider only 840 (it is great at 8-3-3-3) or 1080 (this not working).... we need fix this memory problem, i hope it is not hardware error only software, and Asus correct it in next BIOSes.
In 4 weeks of BIOS releases for this board, Asus hasn't improved the overclocking of this board one bit. I've been through them all from 0401 to current 0903, and they pretty much ALL clock equally.Quote:
Asus correct it in next BIOSes.
can u let me know what is ur batch number on the cpu? it should be written on the box. thanksQuote:

I personally think ASUS made the right decision since @400+ FSB chipset gets already plenty hot. You wouldn't want to run 24/7 much faster than that. If you want to go for higher FSB, you should find a cooler running P965 board.Quote:

I am now successfully running 400*9 (ran R@H over night), but needed 1.60V MCH and only the 1:1 mem divider works. Lowest divider gives me random reboots.
Now I will try to run at higher clocks, but too bad I cant set ram timings manually above 400FSB :/
It seems to work for some guys, which is quite annoying.
I am happy with FSB and CPU ocing, BUT i am not happy with my memory speed, i have great 1100+ memories but i can run them only at 800 ... it is my problem ...Quote:
