Hope that helps. They still retain all their original names, although they are
not in the same order as posted in the thread.

Good stuff, those pics help a lot, fair play for keeping them

Anyone looking for a new mobo and wanna sell their P5W DH in the US? I would buy yours if it's in good and working condition with all retail accessories. PM me if you are interested, we can work out the price. I got some heat under my user name...

**t_ski** · 03-17-2008, 10:22 AM

Mine's still available if you changed your mind on the price.

**freeza** · 03-17-2008, 06:50 PM

How much are you looking to spend on one?

**alexlyc** · 03-17-2008, 08:33 PM

under $100 if possible, I will buy a cheapo P35/P965 instead if I can't find one. I am interested in this mobo because it's very compatible with mac os...

dude i've been trying to get leopard 10.5.2 installed for the past day and a half.

mind telling me what you're using nad how you got 10.5.2 on yours?

the only one i could successfully get to work was itakos and updating to 10.5.2 is damned near impossible. thanks man.

not that i've seen, but it should work fine even if asus doesn't say they officially support it. i've seen people running qx9650's on this board no problems.

I really want to order one, but I'd prefer someone else go first. So far, everything Q9450-related is pre-order unless you have an 'in' at Intel. Last rumor was March 24 for the common folk to start getting them...

Really, QX9650's do work on P5WDH's too? Grrreat.

Hehe, I feel for you man.

I just bought a P5K-E Wifi, how do I transfer my Raid0 hard disks to the new board? I raid the two using EZ-Raid on my P5W DH.

**Random Murderer** · 03-20-2008, 10:04 PM

i got a question. i just got another 3870, but it seems my bottom pci slot and my bottom pcie slots are dead. is this a known issue with bios 2504(as a friend encountered with an abit board he had) or is it time to rma?

You can't... if you had used intel raid, you could have transferred them just by plugging them straight into the new board.

You're going to need another harddisk to backup everything and create a new array on the new board and transfer everything back.

I had 2900xt's crossfired in 2504 and a single one running in the bottom slot previous to that.

I remember seeing someone else with a similar issue crossfiring 3870's on this board. Apparently it ran fine after setting the PEG link options in BIOS to auto. I'll take it you've already tried a single card in the bottom slot?? If that's not working it's RMA time unfortunately

all the peg link options are already on auto, and the board won't even post with just a card in the second slot. rma time.

Hello, I'm having trouble keeping my P5W DH Deluxe with an E6300 stable. I just did a reformat, and redownloaded the chipset and audio drivers. Now, when I try to boot up with my old settings @ 2.78GHz, it will boot until I get to Windows XP, then restart itself. I've tried upping the voltages, but that didn't help. What should I change with my current settings?

Performance Mode: Auto
PCI-E Frequency: 100
PCI Clock Synchronization Mode: 33.33MHz
Memory Voltage: 2.05V
CPU VCore Voltage: 1.3V
FSB Termination Voltage: Auto
MCH Chipset Voltage: Auto
ICH Chipset Voltage: Auto

I have done what it says on the first post, and it has worked before my reformat. What could I be doing wrong?

2504 was rock solid for me, 2602 was strange.... It was very unstable for about a week and now it's running fine- really weird. It can even run my system at 3.2 Ghz for a few hours, no other BIOS let me get anywhere near that.

**lawrywild** · 03-23-2008, 11:27 AM

2504 and 2406 both work great for me. 2602 was buggy...

**mikepaul** · 03-23-2008, 06:15 PM

2602 went OK so far. I haven't run any torture tests in months but I'll get to them soon...

**radlord** · 03-24-2008, 03:32 AM

So I've just re-installed my Vista x64, thought it would be a good time seeing as SP1 is out. I've had an annoying problem ever since I installed Vista in that the computer crashes when waking up from Hibernate and Sleep. It's done this on all the BIOS versions I've tried, I'm on 2602 now. All the fans come on full blast and it just sits there, roaring at me. Not ideal.

This is a completely fresh install, all drivers including my Radeon drivers are the most up-to-date ones.

Any ideas what might be casusing this? My BIOS settings have all the ACPI stuff turned to 'on'.
