ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

[Falkentyne]

Negative, I've only called Polish office where I live, but I can try to call to Tainwanese office. Just one question, do they speak English? About writing to BIOS developers, I can do that if you give me their e-mails. This shouldn't be a trouble, I'll explain all problems and write why they should fix that. Now I'm waiting for you answer.

Yes most of them do speak some English. Patience is needed, though. They may answer the phone in chinese of course.

Not sure where their taiwan number is; pretty sure you can find it. The emails may be hard to find; I remember at least 1 email was in either the R2E thread or P5Q Deluxe discussion.

Crishan : what motherboard revision do you have?

And on a lighter note,
I think I can do 4.1 ghz with my QX9650 relatively prime stable with 1.4v (didn't try, no point in risking degradation), as 1.3875v at 4.1ghz passed 8k FFT but when i went straight to 40k, in-place, core 4 failed shortly (seems like 8k, 10k and 40k are most stressful). Linpack is 50 loops stable at 1.375v and 4 ghz (for some odd reason, with 2x1GB, Linpack needed 1.3875v for 50 loops, but for 2x2GB, 1.375v? temps only 2C higher at 1.3875v), and fully prime stable at 1.3625v. The cores were screaming for mercy at 4.2 ghz and 1.4v in Prime (cores 1, 2 and 4 didn't last more than 5-20 seconds without one of them erroring out). I can probably game safely at 1.425v but that's already too high to risk degradation (even tho the TRUE keeps temps down), and I'm sure it won't prime very long. Seems like the most realistic MAX goal is "possibly" prime stable at 4.1 ghz/1.4v (1.392v load-which should be 100% stable in games) or possibly game stable 4.1 ghz 1.3875v (1.384v load), and a safe goal is 4 ghz 1.35v for normal stability and 4 ghz/1.3625v for max stability in everything except Linpack.

enough numbers I guess...things start getting hard after 4.0 ghz 100 mhz to 4.1g doesn't seem like its worth .0375v though
