ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

[Mr.X]

Quick question: how do I change my FBS in the BIOS? I can't seem to be able to change it in jumper free settings.

Runnin 1305 as we speak...still no booting past 370FSB without SPD timings on auto. Furthermore noticed some cosmetic changes...thats all.

It strange , I was able to boot 410*9 using manual mem timings
5.5.5.15 but changed teh perform. mode from TURBO to STANDARD.
V Core 1.525V Anyone ?

Just ordered another 6600 from the egg. Gotta love their free ground that gets to me in two days. Hoping to get a better batch# because mine requires 1.5vcore set in bios to do a measely 3.2ghz 12hours orthos stable. I want 3.6ghz I'd settle for 3.4ghz, but I don't want to have to put 1.5vcore on the cpu for either. I determined that the cpu was holding me back because the MSI board faired no better. It did however have less vdroop. Gonna give it a couple of more weeks and order another p5w dh too. Unless someone can point me to someplace thats selling the board with the new 1.85v chipset available. I think asus will make a bios for this board that's as good as the p5 model. Sli is a must for me & I don't think the P5 model can do sli witht he modified drivers. Come on ASUS get that stable overclocking bios out!

I am so tempted to do the same. I ordered up a P5B Deluxe...shoulda just grabbed another E6600. You can always feeBay them if they suck arse.

Set Jumperfree to manual then use the + - keys on your keypad to increase or decrease the FSB. You can also type the desired value using the number keys. Keep an eye on the memory speed, as it will be automatically adjusted along wih the FSB. However, you adjust the mem speed without it affecting the FSB setting.
