ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

[Skoogra]

Ok, I tried going like 350 fsb at 9x multiplier. But windows would either freeze or not go past the login step. I changed to 333 fsb and up'd the voltage of just the cpu to 1.40v instead of 1.30v and it seems to be stable at 3Ghz. It would be sweet to go 3.2GHz or something if I can keep the temps low and if it were perhaps stable. Kind of new to the whole extreme over clocking. Some day I will be as good as you guys though I hope!
I am using the small ffts and it has been going for like 5 or 6 hours now with no problems, but I have no idea why the temps fluctuate so rapidly.

I got up to 98.2% CPU usage using 3xOrthos running small fft's, 1 super-pi 1.5 running 8M figures, 1x Prime95 running small fft's.
The thing that is weird is temps are 68*C, 66*C, 61*C, 60*C and cores 0 and 1 seem to be straight 100% while cores 2 and 3 seem to jump a little every millisecond(from 90-99%?). Is this normal?
I doubt I will ever actually use all 4 cores and get 100% out of them if it takes this much just to get to 98.2%...

My cousin has this board and he is using the 2301 Asus Bios.
His overclock is a bit unstable on the E6750 Intel processor.

I know that within a certain bios version it is not possible to downgrade it.
But I also remember sending a friend a link about how to do it and he made it.

I dunno if the right command is:

AFUDOS /i2004.rom /o2301.rom /n /pbnc

Is it?? Or Should I do it enabling downgrading on Asus Update Utility?

Thanks in advance.
