E6300 ES @ P5W DH Benchmarks

[Amey]

So is this the board to get for Conroe based system ?

[tvdang7]

could be anything

[sierra_bound]

The BIOS still needs maturing. For example, it doesn't run the 4:5 ratio as well as I would like. But all my DDR2 pairs run with no problems on this board.

hm... another german user with the windows-shutdown-problem.

configuration:

Bios 0504
INTEL EE955
x1900 crossfire
Geil 667

[eva2000]

could shut down issue be crossfire and/or psu related ?

[sierra_bound]

I wonder if it has something to do with the boards shipped to Germany. Hard to say at this point because there are so few users. Some Europeans were also having issues with the VCore setting in the BIOS. My board came from Asia and I never had a problem with VCore. Even with shipping BIOS (401), all the VCore settings up to 1.7v were accessible.

where did you get your cpus from eva

Yes, mods would definitely make a difference. Kyosen was gotten his board up to 450 FSB. I'm sure he will go higher.

I may be wrong about this, but I feel the Bad Axe is a little deceptive. Although people have gotten great results with that board, I'm wondering whether the FSB and CPU speeds are really reflected accurately in the SuperPi times.

I never had any problem with VCore options with the Asus board. They were all there, even on the shipping BIOS.

The only really annoying feature of the board is one it shares with the Bad Axe. The board will power down for a few seconds after you save any major changes in the BIOS, then power up again.


Hi. I don't have that particular problem. My board only shuts down temporarily after saving changes in BIOS.

my aopen does that as well maybe its a chipset thing.

Are you talking about the temporary shutdown thing or Webwilli's problem?

The Bad Axe board shuts down temporarily too, especially after you change the ratio in the BIOS. That's by design. I think it gives the board time to adjust to the new strap.

The feature will probably freak out people who've never used the 975X chipset before. When their PSU shuts off, they'll think their board just died.

i had that scare with Abit AW8D too heh but if i had cpu fan header connected no shut downs (when on g4 storm water)..

he also have an enermax liberty 620. interesting. i have no other here. just a liberty 400... f**k...

[sierra_bound]

For what it's worth, I'm using a 600W PowerStream that I've had for a long time. I've used it on numerous boards and it's never let me down.

[webwilli]

i´m using this liberty since feb 2006 and it work perfect. but with the p5w dh it is possibly a problem.

[Devious]

[taemun]

[k0nsl]

They are in stock in Sweden now. My board is about to be shipped

-k0nsl

So do you know when they are supposed to be coming in?

[Ad1tya]

God, i really need to know the Max FSB this board can do !!

[thorgal]

I missed this somewhere on the way : what is the max standard Vdimm of the Asus P5W ?

[Mykou]

They are in stock in Sweden now. My board is about to be shipped

I've ordered P5W DH from Belgium , hope they will send it soon

Wasn't max fsb around 450 ?

[Ad1tya]

@ thorgal.. 2.4 V.. currently :|.

Thanks, that makes the DFI a bit stronger on that side :-/
