ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

[Falkentyne]

Did you clear cmos ?
P5w has either vcore 1.25v or 1.15v (I forgot which) as the lowest setting. What bios did you come from before you went to the newest one? After you flashed the BIOS, did you immediately power off the computer (after it went into bootup and said the normal "cmos checksum wrong", etc) and clear the CMOS with the jumper? Something is very wrong if your lowest vcore is 1.45....
and my 4 ghz setting is 1.375v set in BIOS (which gives 1.356v), although I could go slightly lower if I'm not trying to quad prime. This setting is perfectly stable with small fet prime unless it gets very warm in my room. Note that this is with the pencil vdroop mod, otherwise I would have to set something like 1.45v in BIOS, most likely
Mem isn't important; you know it varies depending on module brand, but its 2.1v, and that's only because I have it at cas 3...
