ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

[ntvh]

@NTVH : no need to go X48 mate, any P35 will handle any current CPU nicely...(unless you want to go flatout on Crossfire) since you got all those NB/SB stuff pick ya mobo wisely...

Thanks for your advise.

The problem is just got the E8400 3.o G and want to see 4.gh but it's so rough. P5W DH give me too much ban to my head. Please advise.

I may be blind, but I no longer see an EIST setting to enable or disable under 2704. Virtualization is stuck enabled since I'm not allowed to touch it. Where was EIST set, and is it available to any 45nm CPU?...

Doing my own legwork, I found this illustration:

Shouldn't the EIST setting still be there? If I posted a crappy cameraphone picture of my 2704 BIOS settings screen there would be a untouchable Virtualization setting and nothing below it...

So, if i need to put more voltage in mch, I can lose the mobo?? i can't belive..
i want no put 400fsb, but the stability don't come, Even if I put A high-voltage in the cpu...I don't now what I do to make stable over

In my days, there were few P5W's that did 440-450FSB stable, combine that with the extra strain on the memory controller due to the E8400... I'm pretty sure that you will have a very very hard time to get there... let alone be stable... Just for a quick comparison... on my P35 I'm currently burning in an E8400 at 3.6ghz at 1.1Vcore and 1.4Nb voltage, setup done in 15 secs... 3 hour stable till now... overclocking on the P35 is a breeze... Sorry to say but it's time to upgrade unless you settle for 400-425 FSB or such...

Try a higher MCH voltage but I wouldn't recommend to go over 1.65 (but that's up to you ofcourse)... keep ya ram in sync plz...

Anyone able to get into asus ftp's anymore? Directory listings are denied for me now

what Would you upgrade to what rid? Please advise Thanks

unless you want to go flatout on Crossfire

i don't get it

I beieve the last line (in white) is EIST. Doesn't EIST mean something like "Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology?"

Most decent P35 based mobo's do 450FSB mate out of the box... I own the P5K Dlx (dunno if they still sell it) works like a charm with 0812 bios with 45nm CPU's, DFI also has some very strong models of the P35... and all in the 100-150 dollar price range...

Boards that are famous here :

DFI LANPARTY DK P35-T2RS

New Asus G35 mobo also works fab , though needs one of ya waterblocks :

Well it's not his Bios screenshot though an older bios version, on his new bios the virtualization is locked and no more EIST there on his rig...

I'm thinking of giving up the attempt over...i'm afraid to put more voltage in mch now...degradation it's very bad...
i dont know...
hey, can anyone help me to put the cooler box to max rpm??
i'm trying to put here, but i can't find a solution!!

Hi guys, has anybody tried XIGMATEK HDT - S1283 cooler on this board ?

lawrywild, i'm prompted for username and pass. Looks like anonymous users are no longer allowed.

I'm prompted for user on the global ftp but not on dlsvr's. They just say directory listing not allowed

is this the one??? Thank

Yes, it does but you misunderstood his post. He was showing a pic of the EIST setting and then said that he does not have the setting available.

I tested it on my board for my review at TechPowerUp. The cooler worked fine, but I had less than ideal contact with mine due to their base being uneven. Unfortunately, that's a problem with many exposed heatpipe coolers.

You're right. I thought he was showing us a picture of his own BIOS screen. That just made more sense to me that way.

that's what i use, and i couldn't be happier.

Thanks. I'm hoping somebody else with a 45nm will check and see if we're all in the same boat. I'd certainly turn it off if it'd keep 2.66Ghz stable...

Isn't there an option for Qfan or such ,disable it and let her run fullspeed... prolly in hardware monitor tab

But i do that...and the cooler don't go to your max rpm!! i tried to put the conector of cooler box in the 3pin of the mobo too, but don't work..

[Leeghoofd]

It's prolly a PWM controlled cooler so it only spins up at a certain temp level... Time to buy a decent one...

[t_ski]

R@ptor =]], go to the Hardware Monitor Page and set AI Quiet to Disable.

[R@ptor =]]]

@ Leeghoofd
yeah...i'm thinking to buy other..evercool buffalo it's a great choice..here in brazil, this cooler is the most cxb...i'm testing my cpu now..i put 395 fsb and memory 1:1...1 hour e 30 minutes stress on orthos , and it's stable...when the test reach 2 hours, i wanna stop...if i put the memos, a diferent fsb/ram 1:1, the pc don't boot..later i gonna post somes screens

@ t_ski
I do that, but don't work


that's it!
i don't need to add more voltagem in mch....voltage stock, 1.55v

[t_ski]

@ t_ski
I do that, but don't work

Sorry (I'm going off memory) - are there other options for AI Quiet? I know I had mine set to run at full speed all the time, but perhaps it may have been the BIOS version (mine was 2301).

Relax man =]
i looked here, and don't have other options for AI quiet or something...

the trick is don't use the JMicron, use the Intel Raid, the two middle right

I rate the jmicron higher.

It seems when installing the jmicron driver it allows NCQ even when basic is set in the bios. Here is my problem below.

The intel controller can use either ide, ahci or raid mode. The latter 2 only allow write caching on raid configs. The ide mode doesnt support NCQ slowing down my raptor os drive. But raid/ahci slows down the other drives on the controller making things like gaming and multimedia worse.

The solution for me is to put the raptor on the jmicron sata port install the drivers and I get ncq + write caching best of both worlds. Run the intel controller in ide mode which works best for the other drives. The jmicron is in basic mode allowing the pata drives to run off it also. Some of the jmicron drivers are buggy with delayed write failures but that issue seems to be fixed on the last 3 driver versions now.
