ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

[sesdave]

Gents,

I have the following components:


Antec P180 w/Swiftech H20-120 CPU Cooling
Antec 650w Tri Rail PSU
Intel Q6600
Asus P5WDH Deluxe
4x1GB Crucial Ballistic PC-800 BL2KIT12864AA804
ATI HD 2900XT 1GB DDR4
WD Raptor 150GB 16MB Cache

My question is this,

My system is so new I am thinking of returning my Mobo for an ASUS P5K DELUXE/WIFI-AP P35. I know this may sound silly but I love the DH for the remote. I can shut down/hibernate the pc without having to open my case etc... I can OC my Q6600 to 3.4 Ghz 375 FSB and my memory is 756.8Mhz 1:1 according to CPUZ. I am really happy but I cannot seem to get to that 3.6Ghz 800Mhz 1:1 400FSB even if i use the 8x to drop it to 3.2 ghz 400 FSB is just not stable at all... I am just wondering if it is worth it to get the P35.. It is not that much money maybe $25 more. But will my current DH remote work with it? Any advise would be aprreciated.

Dont know about the remote - I never used it on the P5W but I have just swapped my P5W for a P5K deluxe as I couldn't get 4GB G.skill PQ running stable on the P5W at 3.6 1:1. Check this thread out for more detail on P5K http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=144199 I loved the P5W - it served me well but this board is so capable for running with higher FSB setting and memory compared with what I was getting on the P5W. Its not perfect but its very good!.The bios also has extended memory settings which have been missing from the P5W
