ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

[EB-1]

I just updated the BIOS today to 2801 from a USB flash drive by using the EZ flash utility. I'm not sure which BIOS was present - perhaps 2704? However, the BIOS upgrade did not solve my problem.

I am using an E7200 on the P5W DH 1.04G. Unfortunately there is no way to change the core voltage with this CPU to anything but "AUTO." Default core voltage is 1.05V so OC > 3GHz is impossible. The same CPU runs fine in other boards at 3.6-3.8 GHz. The CPU I previoulsy used in the P5W is an original E6700 from 2006. That CPU works fine and it is possible to change the core voltage. Is it just impossible to change the voltage because the E7200 is too new a CPU for the P5W DH? Thanks.
