    Conroe Stepping 4 on Asus P5W DH

    I have a Conroe E6700 (stepping 4 according to CPUz) and the Asus P5W DH board. Works great, but despite saying it is multiplier unlocked, I can't seem to set any options that work.

    The BIOS says the min ratio is 18 and the max ratio is 24. I have no idea what its talking about, but then right under it say Default ratio 10, which is correct. Changing it to anything 18-24 does nothing.

    Any thoughts?

    did you rip of the merom socket?

    or does Asus provider an adapter

    Looks like you are doing it right, maybe the BIOS are buggy ATM

    That's just how the Merom came, I didn't rip it off.

    No idea yet, haven't gotten that far. I usually don't do the extreme OC'ing you guys do here.

    I guess the bios isn't 100% Conroe compatible because it's saying the CPU has 8MB cache... It thinks it is some kind of Pentium D or so...

    seems the actual bios has some kind of problems with your very early A1 stepping 4 Conroe

    B0 and stepping 5 seems to work fine , we will see some reviews in the next days.

    actually asus is well known for their so called "maturing bios " phenomenae , get the newest

    so I think there is hope on the horizon :-) ...
