i think you'd be good doing just the nb and sb cleaning mods atm.Originally Posted by Larsson85
Nicely done
However I have a question about the mods. Will it be necessary to do the mods if I'm only gonna go with high end air cooling as Tuniq. From what I've heard it wont be safe to touch those high voltages unless you plan to use more extreme cooling.
with air cooling you shouldnt be pushing your voltages toooooo high.
Alright My mobo is officially ready
Thx
When will vMCH mod be available?
i don't know. im waiting for that too!!
so how long for the vdimm mod? can't wait. 2.4v is not enough.
My asus p5w dh is not working properly and on my very first boot i saw a flash by USB posts
After that everyboot has Powered On but i get no Video, and no BEEP
What could be wrong? ...is this because i havent flashed the bios?????

I just picked up my board

Yeah

I'll eat my shorts when AMD/ATI can come out with something that can counter an C2DX8000 with QuadSLI 7950GX2 on a Intel 975X chipset board when official Forceware drivers come through.
Asus sent me a 0701 bios chip free.
I'm almost there ... but what should I do with this?

Should I leave it? Or remove it and replace it with proper cooling paste?

Mate, are you using a PS2 Keyboard? If so, junk it and try a USB KB. I faced the exact same issue.My asus p5w dh is not working properly and on my very first boot i saw a flash by USB posts

umm i left mine there... i thought it was way too thick to replace with some as5.
FCG are we supposed to replace it? and if so, with how much (thick) paste?
If anyone is interested I did a thermal IR scan on a P5W DH on the bench doing a torture test. It has a 930 CPU OC'd to 3.75 Ghz at 1.35 Vcore. Ambient is 20 degrees C. It's using the stock Intel HSF with Q-fan off (ie max RPM). There is no other active airflow since the board's on the bench.
Here some of the hot spots:
Marvel ethernet chip - 48
Southbridge - 47 (center of heatsink)
Northbridge - 40 (center of heatsink)
Mosfets - 40
Heatpipe/heatsink area closest to I/O's - 35
Silicon Image controller - 40
Everything else is <35 degrees.
CPU measures 47 degrees from Asus Probe.
I'll probably use the OP's recommendation for the SB but leave the NB alone. That Marvell chip get's a lillte toasty but I'm not sure is it's an issue once the MB is in a case with decent airflow. I also think it's wise to remove those silly decorative ASUS covers. (especially on the SB)
UPDATE:
I removed the SB HS, cleaned it up, applied AS5 and repeated the test. The SB now measures 46.5. It looks like about 1.5 degrees reduction come from this method.
