:o makes me half wish that I didn't have a P5W-DH already :D

edit: hmm .. whats with the 6 slots total? why did they move the CPU slot 2cm down? (over the other P5W parts)...

Dumo do you know what link speeds CF would run in slots 1 - 4?

Nice FSB ;)

Dumo, does this board do the normal Asus thing where it powers down and powers itself up again after an overclock or exiting the bios or simply restarting the system?
09-19-2006, 08:32 AM
sierra_bound

Yes, it powers down temporarily. And it's not just an Asus thing. Boards by other manufacturers do it too when the system is overclocked.

Can thius board support 2x Quad SLI cards..

Example 2x 7950 GX2?

At least the price is dropping on these boards.

I just ordered one from ewiz.com for $285 + shipping !!
ewiz has a far lower price than anyone today on this board.

(although I was not thrilled with their customer service or the person I spoke with after a recent order, I still bought one from them at this price)

Go to froogle.com and search for ASUS P5W64-WS Pro and take the link, although the price may be in the process of going back up some.

Yeah, their price is good but their shipping cost to Australia is over $100 while other stores only charge $50~$60 for the same type of postage, makes them more expensive for me.

Just ordered one of these from ewiz also! :woot: Its arriving tomorrow, so all i need is to get some ram and i can fiiiiinally put together this new system. Other parts in my rig are going to be an E6600 (with big typhoon), 7900GT, and whatever ram. Ill be jumping for joy if i get to 400 with this board and keep my 6600 at a 9 multi.

peace :D

1: Are the temperatures just as high as with the P5WDG2 WS Pro?

2: Does it overvolt like the P5WDG2 WS Pro?
09-19-2006, 06:52 PM
sierra_bound

Yes, it overvolts. Not sure what you would define as "high" temps. 40's? 50's? 60's?

This is the best 975X board I've used. Yes, it's expensive. But sometimes you get what you pay for.

Here is a question guys....

Since both of these boards overvolt....my E6600 requires about 1.573V in Bios, 1.58 in Windows (overvolt). Does my E6600 require 1.58 or is it only beacuse of the motherboard that it requires so much?

I'm thinking of switching boards since I really hate the higher temperatures and the damn overvolting!
09-19-2006, 07:12 PM
sierra_bound

It probably means your CPU requires 1.58v on most other boards, though you should use a DMM to get an accurate voltage reading.

A lot more people complain about voltage droop than overvolting. Most Intel boards have VDroop. Believe it or not, it's there by design. You will find the information in Intel's technical papers. Output voltage decreases as load current increases. Asus chose to compensate for this on its workstation boards with overvolting.

If you run full speed, it would be the same BIOS voltage.

So this board definitely seems to be better than P5W-DH.....so do you think ASUS manipulated "strap" setting for this one like they did for the P5B deluxe.

If I ever build a real high end set-up with CF this would be definitely be the board I would get.

true, but that's more power, more heat, more wires, etc. i'll just live with the (no restart ever) ;)

So what is the bottom line on ws-pro vs ws64 not considering the layout, just performance and overclocking?

It won't overkill if run CF/SLI oc'd:)

Bottom line is better beta bios and (probly) components used for 64 WS Pro....1 core disabled in bios, no more boot up problem @ 400FSB (X6800 bug).

Other than those above both 64 and DG2 can do 475/480FSB easy with good cooling.

One thing needs to be fix is it can't run 4X1Gb mem.(at least for me)..

Can this mobo boot at 450+ x6 with my E6600??? Thanks

what's the maximal FSB settable from bios??? there is vmod for vMCH-vDIMM-vCORE???

slightly off topic, if my 6800 retail runs at 400/500 4-5 on phase without any bootup problems, do I not have the "bug" or still maybe since not running 400/400 1-1?

Seems like 6800 <400 bug only affected 6800 with air cooling on DG2/64.

This board can handle it for sure ..my E6600 runs @ 400FSB 1:1. I cant push it further causeof heat...but this mobo should easiky take you towards the 450.

It's a clockgen issue. I've seen it happen to a few other users with the same board, even if they've manually fixed it to 100Mhz in the BIOS so it is running at the speed just that clockgen doesn't pick it up correctly.

Nice. Is that 64WS? What bios?
09-21-2006, 04:21 AM
zbogorgon

i haven't done vcore mod, for "normal" cooling it is not necessarily, mobo overvolts by quite a lot, i have 1.6 in bios, that gives me cca 1.64v acctual, max in bios is 1.7v

@dumo, yes it's 64WS, i use 209 bios

nb was cold water cooled, cpu with Scythe Infinity.

p.s.
@BarboneNet
on P5WDH i have 1.95 on vcore, with vcore, i think that you could get over 2v easily, it's kinda funny that asus build in an overvoltage protection notice (F1 to continue after bios) at 1.92v :D i just set vcore then to ignore, like all other stuff, cpu fan, temperature...

Well, if 400X9 is faster, then what's the point? I've done well over 500 FSB on the P5B Dlx. In fact I was the first to go over 500 on that board. Just an exercise to me. I think people's obsession with FSB is somewhat misguided. I got an X6800 so I don't have to worry about it. 370X11 with tight timings is plenty fast for me. You are knowledgeable about many things. But you have a lot to learn about Intel.

Definitely one of the best imo :) Thanks for your PM Dumo, I forgot to reply to it because I've been real busy. :)

I got my Vapo LS back from repair (ChillControl blew up :() yesterday, should be a fun weekend ahead..

Display actually stayed on -73 for a while but I had the heating on in the house so it got a bit hotter. :( Still, can't complain. :D

If you run beta bios...Get a spare bios chip from Asus, just in case.

I think people's obsession with FSB is somewhat misguided. I got an X6800 so I don't have to worry about it. 370X11 with tight timings is plenty fast for me. You are knowledgeable about many things. But you have a lot to learn about Intel.

you misunderstood the whole concept off showing high(est) FSB, it's not about how fast, it's about how high fsb goes. At that attempt, I had lowest divider and timings by spd, when I wanted to go for fastest spi time, it will be all different.

I understand. But I'm just much more interested in "fast". :)

Very happy with this mobo, steady as a rock. I m not sure why my mobo wont pick up the changes i make to the multiplier. @8x no go @ 10x no go.
Am i doing something wrong?

Someone on the Vapochill forums has said that this board does not suffer from the cold reboot problem the P5W-DH does... is anyone else able to verify this?

When I was testing the overclock on it Im sure it cold-restarted like the other Asus boards do? :confused: Unfortunately I'm at work at the moment and my PC is all in bits ready to be Vapo'd up.

Does changing the Read Delay to 7 make a difference? Someone said elsewhere that doing this on the P5WDG2-WS PRO stopped the board cold-restarting.

Very strange. 10x won't work anyway because you don't have a XE chip. (10x wouldn't even work on a S5 ES E6600).

Have you tried lower multipliers? Does the chipset handle it?

Currently running my E6600 at 7 x 466 (P5B) and I am looking at this board as I need 3 x 8x PCI-E slots.....wondering if I can keep the same overclock...

Why would this be necessary? Can't you just flash back to the release version?
Please explain, perhaps I missed a thread somewhere, sorry.

i am quite sure, that with stock bios, don't really know what version it was, the mobo didn't cold boot, even when oced, i used 400x9, but when i flashed to 209, it cold booted just as every 975/965 board i used

-60 to - 70 on stock LS? I don't think mine ever gets near that on first startup. ?? Not sure, but I think it's more like in the high 40's normally.

Then maybe you should be more concentrating on educating yourself instead of telling other people to learn?

When I want advice from trolls like you, I'll let you know.:rolleyes:

Clean this thread up guys:) No need to argue...please.

Fast Spi is good and high FSB is also good. The only thing this board need is LN2, other than that it will be 500ish FSB and multi not higher than 9X.

We need to see multi 12X or 13X with FSB >400...

@dumo, yes it's 64WS, i use 209 bios

nb was cold water cooled, cpu with Scythe Infinity.

p.s.
@BarboneNet
on P5WDH i have 1.95 on vcore, with vcore, i think that you could get over 2v easily, it's kinda funny that asus build in an overvoltage protection notice (F1 to continue after bios) at 1.92v :D i just set vcore then to ignore, like all other stuff, cpu fan, temperature...

thanks:D This is my future mobo :banana:
