its still crap, my dividers dont even boot, this board sux ass, im gona get rid of this thing and go for the work station board.
Agree with you...really sux this thing :slapass:...except for the quicker booting notthing changed in this bios...even the P5B have the option to change the multi...in the second BIOS released...and this board for 200€+ not...:slapass: I think will go for an P5B Deluxe or sth else...:mad:Quote:

I had the 0701 than upgraded to 0903...1101 the difference between the 0701 and the others was ausome...in booting speed ;) But It seems to me that the 1301 is a bit quicker...but I could be wrong :rolleyes: . I have some thoughts to get rid of this MOBO and get an Asus P5WDG2 WS Professional instead...:cool:Quote:

If you ve got at least 6400 DDR2 , there s no need for any dividers to run 400*9 :)
...you are wright but...if I cannot do 400*9 ;) ...cause the temps are too high even with high end water cooling?Quote:

right, ok, I found the ONE difference in this bios from 1201 and 1101
Now, the "Start OC-Utility" actually works, before it would just go to a blue screen.
:stick: great!... not
I run 405x8 and the memory has to be run at 810.Quote:

The whole spd timings thing really annoys me...
That's probably the most annoying thing about this motherboard tbh
Ya, SPD doesn't even affect me. My conroe doesn't even let me get my FSB high enough for me to have to use SPD to post.
Primoz, your WC setup looks great ! I know Laing pumps, I got the OASE now, got the 710 model, but now I ve ordered the 910 , which is much more powerful and still very quiet...
Did you put any fans towards the NB and to the power circuits ABOVE the CPU socket ?
;)
Me too, thinking of ditching this pos if Asus doesnt put more man power into the bios department. :mad:
Well I came from a DS3 to this and for a retail E6600, it's no better or worse than this. I love the ICH7 RAID controller on this board compared to the JMicron crap on the DS3 (and I guess this board as well.)
I hate to whine, but it's rediculous how the P5B Deluxe gets bios updates with tons of fixes and the P5W DH Deluxe which cost $260 and is the premium board gets nothing. I am seriously considering a different mobo if asus doesn't get there act together. :mad:

I agree on the RAM, which is capable of more.. but on the MB , doubt it...
;) What makes you think it s not the CPU?
I had famous 165Opty 0608MPMW and it could not reach 2950 100% stable ... etc etc
why? the doesnt the CPU have anything to do with how the mobo uses dividers to get my ram past the DDR1000 mark?
the CPU isnt at question here? its the motherboard dividers!
Anybody else flash this new BIOS? I'm still on 1101 - never tried that 1001 thing.
yea i just flashed it, I didnt overclock or anything yet tho. I feel like it's a rebadge of the 1101 to be honest.
I`m looking for an DDC Ultra (with Alphacool plexi top) now (or maybe dual DDC) but still don`t know if it is worth to change for my D5...and the CPU block will be an 05-SP from cooltechnica very soon...Quote:

Yeah It is the most annoying thing with this board IMOQuote:

Asus :slapass: :slapass: :slapass:
im gonna restart now and do it ill tell you how ti goes
I hope Asus put there heads together and give us a wrking bios...im getting pretty bored at this...SO fix P5W DH plz Asus so we can oc as we like....and get all bug out of the system. I can get my e6600 stabel @ 3.6 1.55v anv vmch 1.6 but i run it 24/7 3.4 28c idel and 46c full load on highend water.
With 1301 Max FSB from bios is 550Mhz .
Also , there are more options for vdimm (.05 steps) . Low & Max remains the same.
WTF are those changes , it is already such a mess to go above 415/420 fsb .Quote:

Thanks Stelios for sharing info !
ok
boot is still horrendous for me (5seconds right after detecting 4th device where it just sits) (but at least its just a boot... i mean, its 5seconds every day, its just bad relative to other boot times)
havent played with other OCing yet
however i did notice
it said i was giong from 1103 [901] to 1301 [1101]
does this mean that 1301 is based on 1101, not 901?
EDIT also i got a thing that said CMOS check error after the reboot. it also said "X1900XT BIOS" at the top of the screen, text only. i was really worried. all i did was restart, and it shows 1301 BIOS and everything works fine. should i be worried?
Always been like that for me.. :stick:Quote:

yea this board does suck im going for dfi lanparty i had no problems with the ultra d for amd no vdroop like this board its pretty bad and 1.6vcore in bios = 1.5 really suxersQuote:

So there is no real reason to flash..
I'd wait for the next revision. I flashed and have noticed no changes whatsoever. Same crummy OC and voltages - no new features.Quote:

You can flash to 1301 using AFUDOS /ip5wdh.rom /pbnc /n, clear cmos, load setup defaults. Then run ez-flash 2, flash the 903 bios, load setup defaults and you will retain the functional "OC Profile Utility". 903 is far better for overclocking than 1301.
What aspects of 903 have you found to make it a better OCer? I'm just curious, not saying your wrong.Quote:

1101 onwards freezes or crashesQuote:

wow is all i have to say for you YOUR VRYing ABOUt 5 SECS AT BOOT POOR BABY get on with life JESUs OMG MOMMY MY COmputer Wasted 10 Secs of my life wile it Booted WAAAA I have this mobo mine boots in about 5 Secs YOUR tHe Problum not the mobo FIx it your self mine BOOTs 500 WIthout Even Trying ....

also for some reason I ran SP 1M 13.2 @ 3.X something I cant remember. It's the best one I've been on so far and I've gone from 701-1301 twice. Now finnaly stable with Orthos @ 3.5, same bios.Quote:

Also I couldnt get Orthos stable anywhere near 3.5 with the other bios but for 903 it seems to be a lot better. I ran about 3 hours yesterday on Large FFTs @ 3.5 (389x9) with no problem for the first time. I'm running Small FFTs today for a few hours and see if its still stable. I'll post a screenshot in a few hours.Quote:

801 and 1101 are both 1 048 576 octets
I think it is not as simple as that to say they do the same ( ie I can't boot with 801 and with 1101 no pbs at all )
so where did you see they are not the same size ??:confused: :confused:

The compressed size of the bios means nothing. All uncompressed bioses are the same size to fill the entire bios chip with data. If you look at the binary data in the bios you will see huge chunks of null bytes which do nothing more than take up space. You need to do a binary compare to really see if there are differences.Quote:
