You speak Spanish don't you? ( por = for ) I do as well. When I read your post I totally understood it as I translated it opposed to thinking it was a typo. Until I read it two or three times to see what didn't seem right.

I have a 1.02G version of the board (is this 1.65 vMCH?).

I wanted to do the pencil mod for vDroop but the pictures on VR are for the 1.0G, which has a different resistor arrangement.

Can anyone take a picture of their board (I think the 1.04G is the same as mine) with this pencil mod? I would be forever grateful!

ALSO -- I just got a Q6600, should I use the latest bios (22XX) or should I use those modded bios (2004?) that are for G0 and 45nm chips?

So, it means P5W DH doesn't officially support G0 processors?!

**w2richwood** · 08-21-2007, 02:23 PM

i have a e6400 es with 2004 bios so it dont bother me. but i may want to get a later chip who knows now the board dosent suport the newer 1333 chips

**EJTREM3** · 08-21-2007, 02:41 PM

**yobi** · 08-21-2007, 03:40 PM

Q6600. mobo 1.02G version p5w dh

**Sans** · 08-21-2007, 03:41 PM

I am running bios 2205. My Problem is one that many Vista users are suffering from right now. I get the atikmdag error when running 3D intensive games. This error causes black or flickering screens followed by a bubble in the task tray telling you that a display driver has stopped responding and has been recovered.

TDR Explained

This problem isn't just ati or nvidia it's both:
ATI
Nvidia

Some people have had success when they sync or link their ram. I didn't see that option in the bios anywhere. Is running the fsb and ram in a 1:1 ratio the same thing as syncing?(And if so what options do I go into to make that happen for DDR2 800 Ram?)

**MarcusTaz** · 08-21-2007, 04:24 PM

Never got that problem once.... But then again I install every hotfix I get my hands on...

I have installed every hotfix I can find as well,as have multiple people who are having this issue. Including KB940105 which is the memory management fix.

Hopefully its your board layout.

**Ragdd** · 08-22-2007, 02:36 AM

This board support the 1333 Mhz Core2 Duo processors.
My friend (and me later on) have the Intel E6850 processor 3.0 Ghz and 1333 FSB). Installed memory is OCZ Gold PC2 5400 dualchannel @ 4-4-4-12

If you have an Asus P5W DH board with a bios earlier than the 2103 version, it give a microcode error during boot, but you can bootup to flash it.
Just install bios version 2103 or higher with the EZ-Flash feature.
In the bios, one setting have to be turned off and that is the Hyperpath3 option.

Yes, I know that, but you couldn't find bios version higher than 2004 on official asus site, anymore.
