ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

Even with your suggested settings, 333 is no go with auto vCore! And I wanted to try increasing vCore, but I couldn't switch the C1E off (required); the only choice is Auto in BIOS 1901! Is it a known bug?

Clear BIOS.

Like I mentioned, you need to turn OFF auto vCore and set a voltage. A good starting point would be 1.45v, but with adequate cooling(water or intense air), you can probably begin with 1.60v and move your way down when you get a comfortable FSB.

The only settings you NEED to turn on in the cpu settings are Ratio Adjustment and Microcode update. Turn off the rest.

Resetting CMOS like geisher had mentioned may also be a smart idea.

Somebody please report back with BIOS Changes ( if there are any ), especially regarding the availability of "advanced" memory timings.

As long as you need the upwards multipliers, stick with BIOS v1601.
As for the Vdroop, you can't do nothing ( except modding your motherboard )

Wishful thinking. Sorry, there is nothing different that I can see in there......

As of today Asus has posted 2004 beta BIOS on their FTP site. No information yet on the web.
ftp://ftp.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socke...20DH%20Deluxe/

Edit: oops. sorry. Didn't see someone already posted this.

[crazyea]

thanks, but look 5 posts up.

What's with Asus, releasing bios after bios without any (major) changes?

[crazyea]

Your right, it makes no sense at all. Support new cpu. LOL

2004 does what exactly??

Nothing!

[bichi]

P5WDH; Rev 1.02G (MCH 1.65 version); QX6700 @ 3.0G; FSB 300; OCZ2G10002GK
- sissy OC, but ultra-stable for work/home stuff

Updated BIOS from 2001 to 2004 using BIOS EZ FLASH 2 (ver 3)
- internal date: Mar 07, 2007
- no obvious changes from 2001
- fast flashdrive detect during EZ FLASH BIOS, as with 1901 and 2001
- slight buffered memory speed improvement, from 6023/6089 to 6148/6139 @ 500mhz memory bus; 3:5, Trc 21 (still not changeable)
- processor multiplier not tested this round
- no obvious change to idle or loaded temps

I have a probem of runing FSB 333Mhz with manual SPD timings. I have disabled HyperPath3. Im using a 4:5 divider.
My ram is team xtreem 4-4-4-10 at 400Mhz.

Is this normal or am I missing something ?

I'm using 2001 bios and it's taking forever to post and load Vista. Any ideas? Reset cmos?

Is anyone able to boot from USB flash drives using bios 1901 through to 2004 beta.

I have issues booting from USB flash drives using bios versions from 1901 > 2004 beta, using any of these bios versions i can no longer boot from USB flash drives, this is with the USB options in th bios set to "Auto", if i set the USB option to "Force FDD" it will boot from USB flash drives.

The thing is, with all bios versions from version 0701 > 1801 beta the "Auto" option for USB devices worked fine, with bios versions 1901 through to 2004 beta the "Auto" option no longer allows be to boot from USB flash drives.

Also with bios versions 1901 through to 2004 beta, if i try to use the Asus Crash Free Bios feature (Alt + F2) with a USB flash drive the system goes in to a loop searching for devices from which to recover the bios, i have renamed the bios file to "P5WDH.ROM" as instructed but the issues still persists, even after removing the motherboard battery and clearing CMOS many times.

As i said earlier, these issues have only started since bios version 1901 and above, so, something has changed from version 1901 and above for this to happen.

Any feedback appreciated, thanks!

Is this with USB configuration set to "Auto" or "Forced FDD"?, i can boot from USB flash drives if i set it to "Forced FDD" but not "Auto".

Well Forced FDD NEEDs to be on if you want to put as first boot device. But I don't need forced FDD enabled if I tap F8 at boot and select my usb key.
