ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

[MarcusTaz]

What do you think. Is it worth another board to push higher?

ALL depends bro, I am quite happy with 3.4ghz and I use my system for everything including gaming for hours. I love the performance comming off an AMD X2-4800 939... I mean this board is feature packed but if just pure Ocing is what you are after and pushing the very limits of your CPU then they say the P35 or better yet I read the X38 will be out in October...

Me, I love this board, maybe not the best OCer but I love it...

I can't seem to get past 378-380 FSB no matter what I try. Also, I've seen posts with people running this speed or even faster with WAY less vCore. If anyone has any ideas on how I can get past this wall I'd be greatly appreciative. Btw, I turn down the RAM speed one notch when I try to go higher (in this case, 750MHz).

System specs:
Mb:....Asus P5W DH Deluxe (rev 1.03G) BIOS 2205
CPU:...E6600 SL9S8 (pack date: 09/12/06)
HS/F:..Corsair Nautilus 500
RAM:...GeIL 2 x 1GB GX22G8000DCK (PC8000 - 1000MHz) 2.3v
Gfx:....Asus nVidia 8000 GTX
Snd:...Creative X-Fi FPS (Fatal1ty Pro)
PSU:...Rosewill RD550-2DB-SL 550W
(let me know if you need more system specs)

Anyone see any settings I should change/try in BIOS?
