Help with my Asus P5W DH Delux

[NT]

Sorry to bother you guys, I just got a new machine (E6600, with Asus P5W DH delux, 2 gb DDR2 667 ram, and 1900XTX).
Here is the problem, while I was running a 3D application, ie a 3D game, my motherboard gave an annoying beeping sound. This happens every time I play. How can I turn off this beeping sound? I know it's just a general warning about my temperature or such, but I don't know where to turn it off.

Thanks for the assistance.

If you haven't already done so, install the AIBooster utility from the Asus supplied CD and check out whether or not it lets you adjust the levels for the various temp warnings: I haven't got the motherboard yet, but I do recall previous Asus monitoring utilities did allow you to change the temp settings which initiated the warning.

Maybe also there is something in the BIOS itself.

Sorry I can't be more definite.

Thank you so much for replying. Yes i Have installed the AIbooster. And I made the adjustments. But the noise keeps on coming back.

During normal operations, my motherboard is around 51 degrees, and my CPU is 32 degrees.

But when I am playing a 3D game, the noise just keeps on coming back. And I went to the bios, and i couldnt' find anything about warnings.

Whilst you're in a game obviously you can't see AIBooster to view what is actually causing the warning. So I'd suggest running something like Prime95 at torture level in the background for a while and monitor AIBooster to see if you can ascertain if it is a temp warning issue?

Also, I vaguely recall something about the board not using the inbuilt digital temp senor in the C2D, so maybe have a hunt around for another monitoring app that does - perhaps the issue is that AIBooster is under reporting the temps of the cpu and bridge chips?

Best of luck

Just had another thought - maybe it's not a temp issue but perhaps something like a voltage issue triggering a warning: what psu do you have?

You should stick a $6 40mm chipset cooler on your north and south bridges and u'll knock their temps down by almost 12-15C. That's what i did. Works great, idle mobo temps down from 47-49C to 35C, MUCH more acceptable.

As for a proggie that reads the C2D's digital temp meter, use Intel's Thermal Analysis Tool. It's built specifically for C2Ds.

Thanks for the feedbacks. My PSU is Antec truepower Trio 550W, I will go buy another fan to make the temperature lower.. but how do i disable the sound?

I could just unplug the panel connector so that i can disable te warning speaker, but is there another alternative in the bios?

if it's a temperature warning and you make the temperature lower then it won't be setting off the alarm....

I tried doing it in PC probe 2. But how do i set the temperature in bios? Which option is it?

 

[Eurasianman]

um, first off, don't ignore system beeps.

Second off, to disable, go into BIOS and go to the part of the BIOS that displays the temps of the motherboards as well as the fan. If you think it's a votlage beep, go to the bottom of the BIOS and where the number is, change to ignore.

That should fix your problem. I don't have a speaker connected to the mobo, so I just use two monitors and have one monitor dedicated for temps and fans.

But honestly, if your motherboard is sending a signal to the dedicated mobo speaker, I wouldn't ignore that unless you want to buy a new system

I'd rather spend $100 for cooling then twice as much for a new motherboard!

I agree with you. Which fan should I get? Do you think I need to replace the CPU fan or just add an additional fan for the motherboard? Right now, I am not overclocking the system. It's just running at 2.4 GHz.

 

[Eurasianman]

Everyone has their own personal preference for cooling solutions.

MY OPINION: Arcitic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro for the CPU and 2 of these Thermaltake Extreme Spirit II for the North and South Bridges, but that's my opinion! I'd rather spend the extra cash on this than $250 for another mobo!

Also, use either Core Temp or Intel TAT for accurate measurings of the CPU. RMClock seems to be 10C off for me and ASUS Probe II is about 20C off!!!

So, I just leave speedstep on and the CPU fan on maximum. As of now, this is how it looks:

I'll prolly order the aftermarket cooling at the end of this week or something.

Thank you for the in depth help. I just ordered the fan.


However, I just tested something today. I switched (or disabled) all the power management tools (ie. vcore, etc) to ignore. The result of these actions was the same. The beeping noise still came back. I turned off all of the monitoring tools in the bios. What could've caused this beep?

 

[Eurasianman]

perhaps I should get a system fan just see if my motherboard gives me any beeps... hmmm

I think I know what the problem is now... it's my video card. On avg. my video card is running at 97 degrees... that's extremly high. I am just wondering how could I reduce the temperature. I am not overclocking the card, or the system (Everything is running at the stock speed).

BTW, I am using 1900 XTX from ATI.

 

[Eurasianman]

Get the ARCTIC COOLING Accelero X2 for your ATI card. It should help. Just make sure you have proper cooling because the card does not blow the hot air back out of the case. Also, you can google ATI Tool and use the tool to raise the fan speed. Maybe that should help. Also, when you talk about temperatures, could you please specify whether it's F or C? Thank you and good luck with your computer =)

I had similar issues and all it was, was the temp Warning level in PC Probe was to low. Open PC Probe and change the threshholds on the warnings and you will be sorted.
