Does anyone know if this is an improvement over the 1305 BIOS?
There's a new bios out for the P5W DH Deluxe, version 1407, i haven't tested it yet but you can get it on the link below.

EDIT: i've just noticed that ShiningArcanine posted this before me, LOL.
24h earlier i couldn't even boot pst 395 fsb til I got my new chip E6600 batch L628B121 ..Quote:

Maybe should people considering P5w DH as good mobo with high fsb abilities if the chip rocks ..cos my P5w Dh isn't even a last revision .. bought it on end of june ... lol ( sadly thought it was crap few weeks ago )
BTW I still run with bios 1101.... ;)
And before anyone asks, yes this is a beta, use at your own risk...
FWIW 1405 was the buggiest one I have tried, I might skip this until we know more about it.
Is there any improvments or bugfixes?
@Mykou
Are these L628B series available from overseas only? Just wondering because they seem to be the batch with great results lately. Yet I havent seen any US have them.
Yeah i just got one from the Egg, L628AXXX Package date 8/26/06.Quote:

New feature with the 1407 bios: MCH voltage is now up to 1.85v.
You real sure about that?Quote:

Still 1.65 for my rev. 1 board.

With 1405, the max MCH voltage was 1.65v. Now it is 1.85v with the 1407 bios.Quote:

well?
there ist no support with 1407 for 1,85 vmch
Hasn't changed my vMCH at all. I had 1.65, I still do.
t
any results with this new bios?
1405 was the buggiest i've ever seen, i'm not trying this that quickly again.
which MB number is yours.. 67 or 68 for exampleQuote:

I had BIOS corruption with 1407 . I was lucky that a friend of mine had a spare 701 bios and we did a hot flash ... I hope to test it today .
This bios is BETTER than 1405, i had lot of problems with 1405 and my problems with 1407 gone ...
tbh the bioses have all been ocing the same since 0801... I'm loosing hope of anything decent coming in the bios... (tRFC needed badly)
Did any good come of it? I.e better OC results, or anything?Quote:

Agreed, I have seen not a shred of difference between 801/1101/1301/1305/1405.Quote:

Let us know if you find anything different or interesting. :toast:
trfc would help for making the cheaper memory OC further, and probably break the "Auto SPD" barrier around 370mhz as well.Quote:

hmm don't know my reseller had only that one , others were batch L627 and one was L629...Quote:

Well no-one with my RAM (PC6400 ZX) has had any luck with getting it past 370fsb on this board, wheras no-one who bought uber expensive RAM has had trouble getting it past that.
Personally, from what i've seen and read, i'm inclined to agree with the guy.
1407 for me is 100% more stable than 1405
:toast:
Just flashed, didn't change my settings from what I had in 1405 so no word on whether this is better. Max MCH still 1.65v. Post time still PATHETIC sometimes. It bothers me so much that it can literally take MINUTES to post sometimes yet the computer is still responsive (can wait a few minutes and then hit F8 to enable boot selection menu and it will indicate it immediately). If it was locked up that would be one thing, but it's just sitting there for absolutely no reason. I've disabled all unused IDE ports that you can and set the IDE timeout to 0 seconds with no avail.
Inexcusable. Period.
sniggle, just set all HW Monitoring/fans options to 'Ignored' ('disabled' is not good enough)and POST will be almost instantaneous.
HTH.
Wow, thank you so much! In this thread they just say to set to disabled, not ignored. They need to update it with your information. :clap:Quote:

+ Fixed my x1900 issue where when I first switched on my PC I would not get any image on my lcd or crt, after a reboot it would work fine...
Could someone give me some tips to get to 400-405 fsb? Currently only >370 stable:
Corsair Twin2X 2GB DDR2 (2x1024MB) XMS2 6400 1.95v
E6600 1.45v currently 366x9 stable (3.3ghz)
FSB term 1.3v
mch 1.55

I'm testing an E6300 at work with an Asus P5W DH.
The 6300 seems to want to do more but it is stuck on stupid around 430x7 1:1. I get memory problems going past 430. Is the Asus just the problem? Looks like Dumos Gigabyte does 500 fsb with ease. (GA-965P-S3)
Should I toss the Asus and go Gigabyte?
Or,, will this Asus do 500 fsb and I am just doing somthing wrong? :D
OPP
imo, 430 1:1 is probably the approx. max stable limit if your mobo is the older 1.65v unmodded version.
It's the ol' i975 vs i965 and Allendale vs Conroe mobo/cpu matching at play here.
kayomani, you may want to try incr. the vMCH to 1.65v, vICH 1.2v and drop the multiplier to test 400FSB possibility 1st.
Same CPU/Mobo and i get pretty stuck at 430fsb. I can run pi1m at 435mhz and boot at 440mhz, but this needs my RAM at the very lowest divider.Quote:

OPP
right, the i965s are definitely better for high FSB testing but newer/modded i975s are not as far behind as before.
Thanks for the info. I'm a complete newb to Core 2 Duo action :DQuote:

Back on topic, anyone know if those L628Bxxx chips are available in the US? I'm ready to finally order my e6600 for my P5W DH...
That's not on topic...this thread is about Bios 1407 lol.Quote:

I had OCZ Plat XTC 6400 and got stuck with the SPD wall on my P5W. I RMA'd the RAM and they gave me the "REV 2" stuff. Now, I can set crazy tight timings past 400FSB. It's DEFINITELY the RAM.Quote:

actually, not quite.Quote:

To bad it isn't even near stable at those speeds.
Also, the memset timing trick doesn't seem to work with this bios, it gives best results at spd timings.
and i have to do a cmos reset when i try cas 4 timings, the board just hangs before post!
K 1407 Bios allowed me to break again the 400Mhz barrier up to 445Mhz now, Multiplier downwards works fine 2. I downgraded to 1305 again after 1405 release.
Benching the rig now at 8 X 400 1.420 volts. Running 24/7 at 7 X 400. Thing is if I use a lower multiplier most of my hardware detections programs ( everest home, coretemp) etc detect my CPU speed and ram speed wrong
CPU-Z detects the 7 X 400 the other detect 7 x 457 really weird. But it's Orthos stable at the moment at 8 X 400.
Anyone else having this software bug ? The added cooling did miracles ( north - and southbridge helped a lot when using this board a recommendation to all users

@ Leeghoofd
That is because your North Bridge Core Clock (NBCC) is maxing out. Default is as you know 266 MHz. When you use the 7X multi the math is like this :
8/7*400 = 457,142 MHz NBCC clock.
But when you use the default multi (8X) then the NBCC = the FSB.
You are most welcome... and most humble too. Hope you get the right mobo for testing, maybe try the P5B Deluxe for the high FSBs.Quote:

can you show a pic of the watercooling you put on the NB.Quote:
