lawry, will your custom bios work with my q6700?

**lawrywild** · 08-03-2007, 11:27 AM

Yes, please test it

edit: now THAT was a quick reply lol. 1 Min o.O

I will replace my current Asus P5W DH Deluxe motherbord, OCZ 2GB PC2-4200 RAM and Intel E6700 processor, with a new Asus P5W DH Deluxe motherboard, OCZ 2GB PC2-5400 RAM and an Intel E6850 CPU.

If my new motherboard doesn't have the 2103 bios installed by Asus, can I bootup my system with my Intel E6850 processor to flash the bios with Alt+F2 method?

Second question, does anyone have a changelog of the revisions of the Asus P5W DH Delxue motherboard?

Revision 1.04G is the latest one?

Perhaps you should hang onto the E6700 a while as a fallback...

FWIW I managed to boot and update the BIOS when installing a Q6600 on a new P5W just this week. I got the micro-code error, but it posted and allowed me into BIOS. EZ Flash didn't work, but Alt-F2 did the trick. I was relieved as I didn't have another socket 775 CPU kicking around if it hadn't worked.

**Gig4moller** · 08-03-2007, 01:28 PM

By the way, I'm still having this annoying problem that I havent found a fix for yet...

My P5W refuses to boot with 8x multi. It will boot fine at 9x400, but refuse at 8x400 or even 8x266 for that matter. I had this problem in 1707 bios, and I still have it with 2004. Does anyone know what causes this? :/

**lawrywild** · 08-03-2007, 01:52 PM

Just ordered my Q6600 G0, should have it tuesday. AWESOME!

It'll be a sh*t clocker though, always is. I'll be ready for needing 1.5v for 3Ghz or something

**GLENBOY** · 08-03-2007, 03:23 PM

nice to see you take the plunge lawry, it'll be interesting to see what fsb the go stepping quads reach on the p5w , where did you get it from scan

**IcemaN22** · 08-03-2007, 03:27 PM

Does anybody know if this motherboard will support 45nm cpu in the future?

**lawrywild** · 08-03-2007, 03:28 PM

Nah Eclipse. See the other thread. £165 inc VAT.

I wanted to use Scan but I don't know how long they'll be and since I'm going away soon, I wanted to get it before I went.

I'm pretty certain, yes. The bios (2103/2205/2206) already have ther microcodes for 45nm

Now that's really comforting info, this thread is just great.

**Harsh** · 08-03-2007, 11:38 PM

This thread, makes P5W DH a better board

me too getting a Q6600 G0 in a week or so.. looking forward to your results Lawrywild.

**happ** · 08-04-2007, 03:15 AM

Finally, I am getting Q6600 G0 from the States, next week. Before I swap processors I need to upgrade bios. Which one you guys recommend 2206 or 2004 Lawrywild's mod? Has anybody any experience with this mobo and Q6600 G0?

**lawrywild** · 08-04-2007, 03:31 AM

I'm not going near 2205 or 2206, I'll test my 2004 and then 2103.

**crazeconnolly** · 08-04-2007, 03:52 AM

how the hell do i flash my bios. back to original. if i dont have a floppy drive??

c

**lawrywild** · 08-04-2007, 04:08 AM

USB flash drive. Make it bootable, put ms-dos files on, put afudos and bios on. Boot to it and voila.

**X7007** · 08-04-2007, 01:43 PM

If i am going to buy Q6600 is there possiblity that i will get the G0 ? how will i know which rev is it if i am going to the computer store, i could tell him to replace it with other if its not that, and they have computer there with internet so i could check the Serial number or anything else.

if you could tell me what to look for so i'll have some idea whatever its B3 or G0

i almost forgot the 2nd question, should i update to 2206 , i will must anyway if its G0, but if its not i dont want this beta to mess up stuff.

so its like if or if, should or should, because if they dont have the G0 at all i wont have the upgrade, but if they do i will need to check it so i will make sure i have to update. please inlight me m8s

thanx

**lawrywild** · 08-04-2007, 02:38 PM

Look for SLACR on the box, rather than SL9UM which is B3.

You can use my modded 2004 bios, 2103, 2205 or 2206. Your choice.

my first conclusion was the bios battery is weakened but when i entered the bios setup nothing change, they all set the way i set them, than i save the bios and exit. sometimes the new cpu installed message gone and more often i have to enter bios setup and exit and save changes many many times
finally after reading the user's manual i found a bios setup option in Boot > Boot Settings Configuration > Wait For "F1" If Error > Disabled
with that oiption disabled new cpu installed message still appear but doesn't wait for me to press anything, and continues entering windows xp

unfortunately my PC2-6400 4x1GB PNY RAM is detected as PC2-5300, and i need to manually put DDR2-800 in Advanced > Jumperfree Configuration > DRAM Frequency
so my workaround still has flaw, i managed entering windows but with PC2-5300

and for the last problem in ASUS website faq it said to use 4GB ram i need to enable memory remap feature in Advanced > Chip Configuration > Memory Remap Featured
i can't seems to find that option in BIOS setup and the BIOS only read 3200MB ram
and i'm using P4 631 if that matters

any comments would be much appreciated

U got to have windows 64-bit to "enable" your 4gig´s of ram otherwise windows will not be able to "see" it, that did it for me anyway!!

i knew that but as i posted earlier the BIOS reads 3200MB instead of 4096MB because i can't find memory remap feature enable
i maybe blind or something
