ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

[Brahmzy]

What do you mean? Big step backwards from what?

The changes in the FSB and multi's in the new 45nm chips have created a difficult issue using the older and even newer mobos. To get an equivelant overclock on the new 45nm chips vs. the current 65nm chips is going to take HIGH FSB - far higher than the P5W will go.

Only the top-end new 45nm quad core with the unlocked multi will be easy to OC.

A good read...

Yeah, but since I have no plans to replace my mobo yet, I'm just happy it supports 45nm.

I'm interested in the Q9450 the most and I believe I won't have any problems OC'ing it to about 3.4Ghz for 24/7 usage.That will be enough for me until the next generation when I'll have to replace my mobo anyway because of the socket change.
