ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

[Falkentyne]

Hello!!
This is my first message on XTremeSystem...
Firs of all, sorry for my bad English... I'm Italian

I wanted to ask Falkentyne: which steps have you followed in order to run the QX9650 on P5W DH Deluxe? I read some users can't set manually vcore under 1.40V from BIOS. How to fix this issue? Other users had problem if QX9650 worked on their motherboard faster than 2,66 GHz... Have you experienced this issue?

Maybe I'll get a QX9650 and I wanted to install it on my P5W... so can you advice me how to set BIOS? And which version of BIOS? Have I to format my OS?
Can you help me?? Thanks very much!!

That's good if someone else can help me, too...

I didnt do anything special at all. Larywild's 2004 bios wouldn't even boot the QX9650 properly (the best I could do was get it to go into ezflash to flash another bios). 2302 (?) and 2406 both allowed vcore adjustments down to the lowest of 1.225v (i think). I haven't gone to a newer bios.

I don't know why people can't set below 1.40v. Has ANYONE with 2302 OR 2406 been able to NOT go under 1.40v ?
Um...I will say that I always clear the cmos immediately after the computer gets to the "cmos checksum" thing, and if it happens to NOT show that message, I enter the bios, power off, then clear cmos.

I wanted to try the new 2704 bios but if I can't go under 1.40v, I'll pass...
