ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

[mikepaul]

I'm not getting anything but AUTO, no matter what I disable. I checked the manual but it's way out of date now: what's supposed to be disabled to get multiple vCore values to pick from?...

Don't you have to set the cpu settings first, and then save and exit BIOS, before any manual settings become available? That's how I remember it always after every BIOS flash...

I thought I'd saved and exited several times, but now I go back and look and the manual range of vCore is available again but is still 1.45V through 1.7something.

Virtualization is also something you have to choose early after a flash: I can't touch it now.

So either the message about voltage problems isn't getting through, or they just think the early revisions have been replaced by now and refuse to support them properly. I'll have to call in to the folks who supplied BIOS chips before and see if they can transfer me to somebody who might help talk to the BIOS group...

You sure you disabled the automatic fans? Forgot what its called, but there's an option to make the fan's rotate depending on the heat of the processor. It has to be off to change the cpu's voltage.

I always forget that one myself.

Post above yours shows it finally did allow manual...
