ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

[sesdave]

I've been searching for over an hour man, this is a BIG thread!

If you remember any particular post with the info I am looking for, I'd apreciate it if you gave me a link or a few words from the therad I can use in the search form.

Fair point - I am having a bad day! Note that Lawrywild has 4GB of ram which will stress the memory controller (NB) more so the fact he gets near 1000 is pretty good. Plenty are running memory higher than that with 2 Gb but that may not be to their advantage. I previously posted this article http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/mem...ory-guide.html which indicates that if you are not setting FSB above 400 then you are best to run 1:1 with tightest timings. The only real difference between e6600 and e5700 is the mutiplier. Bang for buck its the e6600 as they clock pretty good - later ones seem to run a bit cooler nbut its still luck of the draw.Most get 3.4 -3.6 If you get lucky and have good cooling they go higher. Batch 28-32 seem pretty good - there a few post that the latest 44g are not very good for overclocking. Whats your setup - could be your case that is causing the NB temperatures to creep although I run about 33-34 with MCH=1.65v and thats with a 40mm fan on the NB after applying AS5.
