i think the rev 101g n 102g only go to 1.65

Indeed. I flashed to the latest bios and 1.65 is as far as it goes. Should I increase the mem voltage over the rated 2.1v?

[w2richwood]

i would put a fan on them if you do i have a fan on mine with only 2.1 being pump to them

Has anyone tried a QX9650 with the new BIOS or Larywild's modded 2004?
Any results?

This thread is interesting read it here.

This is regarding 4 sticks of ram and the P5W DH

That thread has like 3 posts. Not much to read really...

Hi people, first post here.

I've had this mobo for over a year now, no big problems until recently. First suspend to ram stopped working. The power led wouldn't blink as usually and it wouldn't turn on with the power button unless I cut the power from my PSU and turned it back on.

Now I'm having difficulties just booting up normally. I had accidentally left the system without power (as in, PSU switched off) for a night after fiddling with it. It wouldn't start, no beeps, nothing. I also tried clearing the CMOS. I already gave up and left the machine alone, a few minutes later the computer boots up by itself. I'm not using any timed wakeup settings or such.

Any idea what's going on, or is my mobo just busted? My bios is 1602.

[w2richwood]

you might try clearing cmos my pulling battery put cmos jumper to 2m3 and replace battery with new one hope this helps

PSU bad ?

[Zeus]

Might as well be (one of) your memorysticks gone bad.

Try booting with just one and raise Vdimm a notch.

[aeternum]

Thanks for the replies. I kept the system powered and it booted up without problems this morning. Everything else seems to work reliably. I played Quake Wars for a few hours last night. No crashes, so it seems it's just the mobo acting up. Changing the battery sounds like something to try, but should it matter if the board is getting power from the PSU?

By the way, I'm running stock at the moment. I might go OC again when I need the extra heat for winter

[w2richwood]

yes unplug ps before changing the battery it will clear cmos again

Im interested to see how the QX9650 performs on this board with the 12 X multi. It could be a great upgrade in six months when the price comes down on these processors. Low power consumption. If someone can borrow one to plug into this board for a trial I'd love to see the overclock potential.

If you wait long enough, Nehalem will be there to buy instead...

Hello, My Spanish is bad, and my English is worst.

I have 4x1 Mushking XP2 5300 (666 / 3-3-3-10 / 2,1-2,2V)

With 340FSB they run at 4-4-4-10, 1,95V with no other Overvoltages.
With 350FSB they run at 4-4-4-10, 2,05V with no other Overvoltages.
With 375FSB they run at 4-4-4-10, 2,20V with MCH at 1,65 (1.03g) and CPU at 1,32V.
I cant make more than 375 with any other configuration unless I put SPD in AUTO.

The MB can´t post with 380FSB with 6-6-6-18 2,2V and Overvoltage in FSB/CPU/MCH

But with SPD in AUTO (5-6-6-18) with MCH at 1,65 and CPU at 1,32V, at 380FSB its fully stable (+6 hours blend Orthos) with only a 1,8V in memory. And if I use memset I can make 5-4-4-10 (I cant change CAS in Memset) at 1,8V at 760 (380FSB) with any Orthos error.

But if i put in manual, I need 2,05V at 700 (350FSB) with the same timmings.

I reprogramed the SPD (4-4-4-12 at 400FSB) of two sticks (the other two are off the computer) and reset CMOS, but the motherboard detect the same timmings.

I need to know How I can correct this problem, to have a good FSB with good timings and a razonable voltage.

Thanks.

Hi, I'm in a dilemma. I currently have obtained the following:

SL9UL 2.66 GHz QX6700 B3

But can get one of the below in exchange for the above:

SLACR 2.40 GHz Q6600 G0

My motherboard is the Asus P5W DH Deluxe (obviously, since I'm here). Which one would you want? Keep the QX6700 or opt for the cooler G0. I plan on overclocking. Currently I have the QX6700 running @ 333.33 x 10 with the Corsair Nautilus 500. Runs quite warm when loaded. Would I be able to overclock just as much with the Q6600? What's the FSB wall for the quadcores? I had trouble getting over ~380FSB with my dual core E6600 when I had that.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Unfortunately, their is no remedy to your problem. What you describe is the nature of the P5W-DH. Only getting a different motherboard will help.

hey guys, has anyone plugged 8800GT in this board.
A friend of mine is having weird issue.
The board PCI express slot works in X1 mode instead of X16 with 8800GT.
And hence his card performance is pathetic with close to 3.6k 3dmark06 score and ty FPS in games.
Fresh install, drivers, bios everything has been tried.
Backup X1300 works just fine in X16 mode ( checked with GPUZ)

Good Nehalem article Mikepaul. Sounds like a big step forward in boosting memory performance. If the on die memory controller is running, won't that make the northbridge on older chipsets like this one redundant? Hard to imagine a bios upgrade will sort out the double memory controller issue. There is a rumor that the nehalem may be made in two models ie. with and without the memory controller. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/24...-compatibility
If it is compatible with the 975 chipset would the Nehalem still use 1066 or 1333 FSB like on the p5wdh?

I wouldn't count on getting high FSBs in this mobo with a Quad man.. I'd stick with the one you already have.

Seems to have fallen off Asus latest 45nm support list.

Hey guys,
I recently Flashed my Bios to the latest 2304 version, and my CPU fan now only goes at 250rpm max. Where as before it use to go to 1500rpm.

I have the TT 120 Ultra eXtreme, with an Arctic 7 120mm fan attached to it.

Anyone know of a fix?

[tompl]

i cant downgrade form 2206 to 2004, it says that bios is too old. i tried from bios and dos but both didnt help. what can i do ?

What a strange problem.

Well, one possibility is to connect the fan directly to the PSU rather than to one of the headers on the motherboard (or through a fan controller). Alternatively, you could try one of the other headers on the motherboard. You would need to disable the warnings for CPU fan in BIOS with either of these solutions.
