ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

[cholo777]

Haven't seen that before - the CPU o/c okay on your previous board. ? have you got anthor CPU you can try on the board or another board to check the CPU on? If not I would go back to build basics. What PSU do you have? - check 24pin and 4 pin 12v connectors. Take the board battery out - clear cmos . Take the CPU out -clean and reinstall with one stick of ram and the video card and try again. If it dont work I would RMA the board.

thanks for reply m8

I guys I am from Portugal, it's my first post.

I have a Asus P5W DH Deluxe, Allendale 3.2Ghz @ Ultra 120 Extreme, Corsair Value Select PC2-5400 1Gb DC 667Mhz.

I have a problem, after a bought my Thermalright I tried to make some OC, but there are a few problems with it.

If I set in the BIOS 1.35V Vcore, its not what appears in the hardware monitor, it appears 1.28V is this normal?

One more thing, I just can't boot with 400Mhz of FSB and SPD Disable, can someone explain this?
Thanks, and sorry for my English.

i was thinking of sending it back"2 days left" n getting the comando but i dont really need that high of an overclock since the 975 chipset is faster
i was thinkin of the p5k deluxe but all you get is a better overclock right?
it seems the p5k is slower that the 965chipset

any thoughts on this?

I think that news chip7 needs to have the compatibility with DDR3, and some more experience i think
Maybe its too soon to buy a new mobo like P5K and it doesn't support DDR3, only Asus P5K3 deluxe support it.

Its my opinion, if we want a new mobo, with support for the future we need to think about DDR3 and other technologies that could appear.
Bye

Good start with the P5W -lol. Heres a good o/c start guide which indicates all the BIOS settings ro disable http://forumz.tomshardware.com/hardw...ict197995.html
- follow that and you wont go far wrong 0 the rest is down to luck of the draw on your CPU . Anything else you will probably find in this thread

ZSAMZ - you should check out the guide as it will answer most of your questions. The P5W has a .5v vdroop BIOS setting against actual reading reported in windows
