P5WDH new rev?

**syne_24** · 08-23-2006, 09:55 AM

interesting..that must be part of the new batch. Your's also a 68M0AG; maybe they did started making them.

**eva2000** · 08-23-2006, 10:32 AM

yes interesting it's 68Mxxx and part number is GOUAY

**Brahmzy** · 08-23-2006, 10:44 AM

Dang, I got mine a little over a week ago and it's GOAAY - no 1.85VMCH for me.

Doesn't that only really help for higher FSB speeds though(400+)?

" High fsb`s like 500 mhz can be done by raising the chipset MCH voltage.

On average, every 0.05V increase results into additional 7-8MHz. As a result, if you want to use up the entire clock generator potential that theoretically supports up to 500MHz FSB frequency, you should raise the voltage on the chipset North Bridge up to 1.85-1.9V. The maximum voltage setting allowed in the mainboard BIOS Setup is only 1.65V. This is the major limiting factor for successful Core 2 Duo overclocking"
problem solved with the e6600. MCH needs almost 2 V for 500 mhz .

266 mhz is like 1,5 Volt ? so if you wanna reach 400 mhz, you do the math

I can't imagine the outcry from the early adopters of this board and Conroe if Asus comes out with a new rev soon with higher vMCH... Yikes.

**eva2000** · 08-23-2006, 10:52 AM

why outcry.. Asus didn't realise the need for higher MCH volts... then when end users asked for more MCH.. Asus delivered and revised the board to meet users needs

**VL125** · 08-23-2006, 12:23 PM

KM elektronics in Germany got one ^^
http://www.kmelektronik.de/

they got the new 1.02G with an 68 SN. But it only works with BIOS 1001 oder 1301

**situman** · 08-23-2006, 12:48 PM

if better cooling is required for 1.85v MCH to work, shouldnt Asus revise the heatpipe design or add a mandatory fan?

**Shpoon** · 08-23-2006, 12:56 PM

Think if I order, I'll get a new revision? They just got a new shipment 2 days ago...

LOL! so this is a handpicked Board manufactured to get a very good Review - just to raise sellings. And thats why noone else got 1.85V...

On the other side:
Have u tested if u get 1.85V out of the Board? I saw some BIOSversion in the german Forum, where the Option to raise vMCH up to 1.85V appears, but the Boards doesnt do it - Multimeter checked...

I'll change my opinion if some more Boards with WORKING vMCH 1,85V appears out there.

PLZ post a picture of the BIOS-Chip - real BIOS revision is shown there!

iLL

I'm sure Asus didn't realize the need but what about all the early adopter folks that purchased their product and helped them to understand how to improve it... I guess they have no choice but to buy another board?

Although this is often the price of being an early adopter, it would be nice if Asus offered some kind of trade-in or swap.

you could say the same thing about overvolting CPUs and that the intel stock fan isnt sufficient. fact is they design them to run stock speeds/volts. not that many people overclcok and technically intel 'loses' money when they do (unless they got an x6800)

Got my P5WDH yesterday and has 1101 bios and is UPC 10839 13831 which is different than that posters SS looks like.

Part # 90-MBB2X1-G0AAY

P5W DH Deluxe/WIFI-AP

And yours can go to 1.85 then, correct?

**VL125** · 08-26-2006, 05:07 AM

It should go to 1,85V but the GEAAY also is able to work at 1,85V with the right BIOS.

**UZ7** · 08-26-2006, 06:47 AM

Bah mine only has 1.65... You can tell it was just rebadged w/ a sticker :P.
Serial: 67M0AG109372
Part: 90-MBB2X1-G0AAY

The chip itself was 701 Bios, but actual bios inside was the 801.

**GoldenTiger** · 08-26-2006, 08:02 AM

I have a new RMA from Asus coming Monday, so I'll let you guys know my info too at that point

Can't you just call them up and ask if the sticker says G0UAY? Dang I wish read this thread yesterday. I was in Fry's looking at this mobo. I kinda staggered away when I saw the $300 price tag. Still ... I know Eva is loving his non-voltmodded, newly revised P5WDH. He ran off 8x440 1:1 dual 32m stable with a 6600 and 2x512. I wonder if the FSB would top out lower with 2x1024?

**VL125** · 08-27-2006, 02:41 AM

IÂ´ll get a new Board next week, then weÂ´ll see ^^

sry, for my bad english.

i'm running 2x1GB PC6400PHU2 DGHM not 2x512MB

nope mine is 67MOAG just like EvasÂ´s.. hope for 1,85 vMch

**BulldogPO** · 08-27-2006, 07:04 AM

My board also has this CF M-2 printed in board:
http://tinyurl.com/lfe7z

And I doÂ´nt have 1.85V Vmch

My board is one of first ones.

**Shpoon** · 08-27-2006, 07:05 AM

I'll be getting mine next week, I'll tell you guys how it goes.

I'm hasseling shops for there part numbers trying to get a G0UAY board, if I get one I'll take a photo of the sticker and let you know whats in the bios

edit: no joy, sent a load of emails but nothin

Goin for a drive this afternoon to hassle shop owners about there part numbers

**gelfling** · 08-30-2006, 12:36 AM
