ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

[michaellundmark]

When will P5W-DH-ASUS-Deluxe-2004-G0-45nm-Edition (Modified by lawrywild) Bios work to download? I have tryed many days now with no progress.

How come Asus says that the bios must be 2205 or newer for Q6600 G0?
Is that the Modification with 2004 larwrywild?

[lawrywild]

On Asus homepage it´s written that Bios from 2205 and up supports Q6600

That's because they aren't hosting 2103...

[michaellundmark]

I have searched the net and found the P5W-DH-ASUS-Deluxe-2004-G0-45nm-Edition (Modified by lawrywild) Bios elsewhere, but i´m having problem to flash it.
Asus Flash says: Warning! The BIOS image can´t use in this motherboard. (The EEPROM Type incompatible)

Why?

Hi. When SPD is on (CL 5-6-6-18) everything works fine, but when I turn spd off and use for example Cl 6-6-6-20 the pc wont start
Some ideas how I fix this? I want to try CL4 or very low CL5.
Here is how cpu-z looks like:

Nobody know what can be the problem?

Hey snakeeyes you are damn close to 5000 on the cpu score. Keep tweeking and you should find it.

I am running my 6600 GO with the 2301 bios along with 4 sticks of G.Skill 6400HZ daily at 400fsb with my memory running at 3-3-3-5. I will change my sig to reflect What I got running here. My liquid cooling system is just top notch and I see temps really matter with this processor I have. I just ordered some Patriot 6400 as the price with rebate was just too Xtreme to ignore I will let you know what I think of it also.

I am getting along just fine with this new processor

one nice clock you have going there WeldZilla you have the rev104g dont you

Hey snakeeyes you are damn close to 5000 on the cpu score. Keep tweeking and you should find it.

Aha okay thanks..
This my first time i run this clock :P
I have it clocked now to 3,2 but i needed a little vcore more.
Running now on 1,30Vcore @ 3,2Ghz

Gonna test this soon and than i go higher to 3,6 and higher.
But the score that i now have, are that a special one, or get most people a cpu score around 5000 in 3dmark06 ?

[WeldZilla]

Actually clock for clock you are ahead of most systems Snake eyes.

Yes w2richwood this is a rev 104g board.

[IcemaN22]

FSB Wall at around 360-370 fsb - Enable SPD timings option in Chipset section of bios.

That is what my problem is, everything over 376fsb then the pc don't start, but it will if the spd timing is on.
Is it a solution on it? I wonder to flash the SPD timings on my RAM...

Ah okay..
Than i go farther to clock it to 3,6 and maybe more.
Thanks for the comment.

[Falkentyne]

Before my question gets buried in the annuls of time,
Can anyone besided Weldzilla confirm that ALL 1.04g versions overclock the Quad cores farther than the previous versions? Has anyone actually put this to a scientific test? Are the 1.04g versions designed differently? (with regards to that AGL+ whatever it was link that someone posted awhile back?).

[Phoenix_TT]

Iceman, do you have Digital Home enabled or disabled ?

I have tried to disable it, and its the same problem
Maybe a older bios doesn't have this bug? Im using 2301 beta now.

Hi.

I have the 1.02G version of this board and i can't get my system stable when running 4x1Gb Crucial Ballistix modules at 800MHz at 2.1v.

I have tried 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 and 2.25v and max 1.65 Mch voltage with no luck.

If i run with 2x1Gb everything is fine.

I had to reduce memory speed to 640Mhz to get the system stable.

Is it possible that 975X chipset can't handle 4 modules at 800Mhz and higher?

I use bios 2004.

My rigg:

E6700@3.2ghz
4Gb 4x1Gb Crucial DDR2 800Mhz
ASUS P5W DH
ATI X1900XT Crossfire
Silverstone 750w
Windows Vista x64
2x Raptor 80Gb
1x Samsung 400Gb
Creative XF-i Fatalty

[MacClipper]

max 1.65 Mch voltage

My mobo (1.85v revision) needed 1.75v vMCH for 4GB DDR800 operation but only 2v Vdimm at 4-4-4-8 Crucials.

Pencil shading time?

[lawrywild]

I'm using stock vmch on Rev. 1.02G for DDR2-834 4-4-4-12. 2.1vdimm.

Hi all
I have now tested my Q6600 G0 but i cant go higher than 3,4Ghz
If i set it to 3,50Ghz windows doesnt boot
If i set the vcore higher, than it doesnt boot again.
I got the Q6600 G0 L728A826 1,2875 Vid
If i set the Vcore in the Bios on 1,5volt it doesnt help i cant boot with that vcore to.

Does it help if i set the fsb termination or the mch chipset voltage or the ich chipset voltage higher to get higher clock ?
I hear that many Q6600's can run 3,6Ghz with no problem.
Why i cant get over 3,5Ghz ?
I run it with a Asus P5W DH Deluxe, and Kingston HyperX DDR2 800mhz
The voltage of the mem is set to auto at this moment.

Can some help me with some settings.
Thanks..

I´m having problem to flash P5W-DH-ASUS-Deluxe-2004-G0-45nm-Edition (Modified by lawrywild) .
Asus Flash says: Warning! The BIOS image can´t use in this motherboard. (The EEPROM Type incompatible)

Why?

You already asked this and no one knows. You did extract the rar right? Just stick the rom on a usb flash and use ez-flash.

[Snake_Eyes]

Lawrywild would you read my thread.
Hope you can help me with it.

I had this board up until 2 weeks ago, mine was the early revision and I could not get my Q6600 GO stable at anything over 3.2, so I think you are doing well with what you have achieved. I thought at first it was my chip, but it now runs 3.6@1.425v 24/7 and will prime @3.75 small fft's 8hrs plus and there is probs more to go! So maybe, you just may be in the same situation as I was!

[Snake_Eyes]

okay, but maybe can i set the fsb termination or the mch chipset voltage or the ich chipset voltage higher, dont know if thats helps..

A another problem
I got Kingston HyperX DDR2 800
What timings can i use on stock 2,4ghz ?
I running now 3,1 Ghz and the timings works now on 4.4.4.11
But if i clock to 3,2ghz than it boot not i dont see the bios to
it boot only if i set the timings to By SPD (automatic)
So what timing do i need to boot on 3,4 ghz or more ?
I got this memory:
2 GB DDR2-800 Kit
Retail, SLI-Ready, KHX6400D2LLK2/2GN
Timings in Everest says:
@ 400: 5.5.5.16
@ 266: 4.4.4.11
@ 200: 3.3.3.8

Can some help me with that.
I want to run at lowest timings of cource.

[Creek Tha Gray]

well my new asus maximus formula is in and will be up soon

i have rev 1.02 of the p5w dh and could not get to boot at 3.2 and stay in os 3.1 was stable but no higher.

[Snake_Eyes]

I got this working now @ the moment:



Got a 3Dmark05 score of 19274 with 8800GTS 320 @ 685/1005mhz
Got a 3Dmark06 score of 13265 with 8800GTD 320 @ 685/1005mhz

This is with the memory timings on 4.4.4.11
If i got a timing of 5.5.6.2 i got a lower score.
So are this good ?

P.s would someone look to my thread i asked there how i get the timings on another timings.
Its 2 reply's back..

Hi!!

I currently have Windows XP Professional running on my ASUS P5W DH board with a RAID 0 for added speed. When I installed the OS, I had to make a floppy disk for the RAID driver to be installed. If I am PLANNING to upgrade to Vista 32bit, do I need to make another floppy disk with RAID Drivers?

I have done a "dry run" of the Vista install and the install seems to recognize my RAID array that I is created in my RAID BIOS ( it shows up as a ~76 GB partition instead of 2 separate 36GB Drives. THE WEIRD thing is that it also shows a 12MB partition on that drive!?!?!?

Should I download and make a RAID Driver disk or does VISTA recognize the INTEL RAID well enough to use it???
