ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

? Are you even running a quad core? Don't expect to get the same fsb on a quad as a dual.

Yes running a Q6600...

I bet you are:
1) Not running a quad core
Or/And
2) Own a very recent version of the P5W DH using a 975X chipset revision that's newer than C1.

As far as revision of my mobo, I have just purchased this from newegg this very month so I am sure I got the latest rev.

Oh and if the G0 stepping is not any better I will gladly keep this B3 and just settle for the 3.4GHz... But that 400FSB 3.6GHZ and 800MHz even #s would be nice. I am just anal like that...
