So you wanna know part of how to pick a good Asus p5w DH?

**~~Onepagebook~~** · 07-12-2006, 08:17 PM

if you ever think about getting asus p5wdh, go with the serial number before 123xxx; that's what I figured all day long. Previous p5wdh is 127xxx and 142xxx, same volt as below
Vcore 1.53~1.55v
Vdimm: 2.20v...
MCH 1.6v
I even can't touch 3820mhz(382x10); however, look at the results below..
what can I say, I will have Dry ice run tomorrow

3.95g same setting pi start,

1m

2m

8m

32m...not yet..

but soon

**EnJoY** · 07-12-2006, 09:02 PM

Where do you locate this serial number opb?

**~~Onepagebook~~** · 07-12-2006, 09:12 PM

the last 6 digis from first line of sticker label

**Supertim0r** · 07-12-2006, 09:14 PM

nice find

**flakpyro** · 07-12-2006, 09:16 PM

I sure hope OCZ 6400 boots on Intel Bad Axe, cause thats what i ordered a few days ago.

**Haltech** · 07-12-2006, 09:17 PM

Thanks for the info. To bad mine is 142211... Is yours an earlier model or later? Im going to assume earlier?

This is my last Asus board and i havent even taking it out of the box yet

**AndrewZorn** · 07-12-2006, 09:18 PM

im very noobish can you please point out what is spectacular about this? i thought all of them did 400fsb?

I am talking about 10x...e67 can be reached 400+ with air no mod?
sounds hard

**AndrewZorn** · 07-12-2006, 09:27 PM

you sound like you think i was being condescending but i am not
i really am just confused

i just thought that these boards did 450fsb (on 9x though i think) without like LN2 or anything

am i wrong? 400fsb is big time? im in for trouble if so

**Absolute_0** · 07-12-2006, 11:02 PM

Are you certain that 123 and below is always better than 127 and 142 and above, or is it just possible that you got one that's better than the others?

**Kesnel** · 07-13-2006, 12:15 AM

Interesting theory, we need some others to post their serials and max fsb so we can figure this out.

Just to confirm, is the sticker with this serial on the box or the board itself?

**Blacklash** · 07-13-2006, 12:22 AM

Thanks for that OPB.

Can't wait to get my E6700. I just checked the number your mentioned and I happen to have a 123xxx.

/happy dance

**BulldogPO** · 07-13-2006, 12:52 AM

It's on the bottom of the box. Mine is 119703 and can do about 420fsb.

119699 400 MHz tops.

411 MHz pi 1M

POS....

**Eastcoasthandle** · 07-13-2006, 01:13 AM

that doesn't make sense to me. When something is changed on the MB they are suppose to indicate a new revision. For example from 1.02G to 1.03G not by serial number....=

I got a 119679 here =/

**Lestat** · 07-13-2006, 02:00 AM

ok considering the fact that the PRE 127 serial numbers would be the very first motherboards off the line i think your really grasping at straws OPB
i respect your opinion guy but i think your reaching there.

and eastcoasthandle. its not a revision change on the mothebroard persay it would be more like the stepping of a cpu .. the week and date of the build could make it better.
i mean i suppose this could be true, i dont mean to dispute OPB's theory, the guy is usually right lol.
i would see it as the first shipment of boards being better than the 2nd shipment.
and if the early boards are better that would mean every board that anyone buys right now is going to be crap..
give it a couple more weeks see what happens

**Silver Bullet** · 07-13-2006, 04:54 AM

I got #####123347 ... thats not good right?

**Mr.X** · 07-13-2006, 04:55 AM

I wish I could test your theory. Mine is 118xxx but with a multi of 23 I can't do much but wait for my C2D....
Does anyone have an earlier version?

My serial is 117xxx and I can't even boot over 390 fsb

so I'm the exception ...?

Please don't tell that to my OCZ Platinum 6400 Ram because it performs just fine with my P5W DH.

Maybe you should try and reseat it.

**gocchin** · 07-13-2006, 06:13 AM

I have a 119 and a 142 here now... will test them this weekend.

I had another 142 I sent back last week for rma that did 425fsb with NO mods.
