Hi there

I'm seeing on the forums people using the P5W DH mobo with bios's like 1401 and 1402 but dont know where to get them from.

i am currently using 1305
 
be cautious...

I'm running BIOS 1402, however, I think my overclocks were more stable with 1305. Someoone else on the forums stating the same. So, if you're into over clocking, tread safely... I know you can flash to an older one, but if you're like me and too lazy... then...

I dunno
 
I am into overclocking as it goes so thanks for that bit of advice, what results have you had with your core 2 and does 1402 unlock the cpus multi downwards
 
1403 does and thats what i'm running stable on now. The whole temperature debate has me holding back from running 3.6ghz on air because I was peaking into the 72c area using core temp. But this bios runs stable for me until I hit 426fsb with 8x multi.
 
right now, my C2D E6600 only goes downward. I think I read somewhere that there are very very few conroes out there, that aren't extreme that do unlock up and down.

Anyways... with the new BIOS, I just stuck with 333*9 = 2997 and set my RAM to 666 @ 4-4-4-12.

I think the highest I've gotten was 3.6GHz... or was it 3.4GHz one or the other, but when I tried to run once instance of Prime95, the computer rebooted. Right now, I'm waiting for OCZ to send me their 3rd Power Supply, since the last 2 had too high of a voltage on the 12V (I was getting 12.72V)

They're nice though and giving me a free upgrade to the 700W, which they said they were going to test at their own facility and have it shipped directly from there rather than nxxxxx.com Should be in tomorrow.. Then I'll try and overclock again.

Running at this speed on Air makes me a bit nervous see as the temps reach into the 70c+ mark when running Orthos dual prime. You will notice I only ran this for 24 seconds for this picture but ran it prevously for 2 minutes. Using PC Probe the temps are much lower mid 50's but it seems to measure external CPU temp instead of internal like Core Temp does.

If found a new bios for my P5W DH Deluxe lastnight. It allows me to underclock my CPU by changing the multiplyer. I read that the PB5 can do this already so this may work well for you.

Here is what I did. I boosted my FSB to 400 so that my ram would run at 800. I changed the VCORE from 1.3v (stock) to 1.38v. I set the PCI-E to 100 and the PCI to 33. I set the ram to run at 800 and everything else was left on Auto.

I also disabled hyperpath3 and DRAM Thottling left the DRAM Timings on auto.

Orthos reports the CPU speed wrong for some reason when the multiplyer is lowered.

when in the world is ASUS going to release these on their servers?! :evil:

I'm a little nervous of using these new BIOS! Right now, I'm using 1402.

Can someone try the BOIS and report anything new?

As of now, the multiplier has been unlocked (down only for E6600).

I flashed the 1405 and i'm running just fine. They added an onboard audio option for "Vista" or "Non-Vista". I also read that this bios is more stable and allows higher FSB if you were getting stuck.
 
I got same p5w dh deluxe pc8000 ddr2 and conroe 6600

running fine at 333 x 9 3ghz

? what is the memory settings about. Im running at ddr889 i think and cpuz reports my memory to be at 416.6 mhz, what kind of ram do i need to hit 1066 with my ram cause my fsb is already 1333 Anything over ddr2 889 and my system hangs. Is there any ram that can hit 1066 or hgiher, why was my ram advertised as 1066mhz ram when it can only handle 889mhz im new to intel overclocking can someone clear this up.


Also can people please post their sandra 2007le memory bandwidth score.

Mine is 5450mb/s Can or cant this speed be bumped up to 10000mb/s like what sandra lists as a capapble speed for a 775 975x based system at 1066 ??????????

alo fyi my cpu idles at 78F at 3ghz with a zalman cooler.
 
I hope you're not listing the temp of the CPU that ASUS reports... because ASUS Probe reads from a different sensor. Use Core Temp or TAT to figure out the real temperature.

Also, you do know you can lower your RAM speed to make it stable. In the BIOS, where it lists your RAM (ex. DDR2-889) You should be able to select it and change it. With 333 x 9, I changed my RAM speed to 666 (er, don't like this number) to keep it stable. Try that. I'm not overclocking until I get a aftermarket CPU cooler. But so far, with stock, I've reached 356 * 9 = 3204MHz. And I just lowered the RAM speed to the 700-800 MHz range and it worked fine and was dual Prime Stable. However, I didn't like the temps that my CPU was reaching, so I reset it back to stock for now. Also, how is your NB and SB temps doing? (forget which one ASUS Probe measures).
 
I've got a question here too.

I've currently got the 1305 BIOS. In Ai Booster and in CPU-Z, my core voltage is off and fluctuating. I'm currently running at 333@9 on my E6600 following wusy's guide. I have the voltage set at 1.375 in the BIOS. However in Ai Booster and CPU-Z (both are giving identical readings) its showing that my Vcore is flucuating between 1.328 and 1.352. Thats only a .024 fluctuation but my concern is that I'm not getting the 1.375V I have set. I'm getting .025 less. Now my system is completely stable and I've had SETI@Home maxing out both cores for 8-12 hours a few times with no problems.

My actual rail voltages off the PSU in the BIOS are showing nice a solid (very very little fluctuation). I asked Asus and they said the motherboard controls the Vcore.

My question is why is my Vcore lower than what I've set? And is a .024V fluctuation bad? wusy's guide said it shouldn't fluctuate more than .1V so I'm far from that.

Would updating to a new BIOS fix the low voltage issue or is it not even an issue?
 
I wouldn't be too concern about it. Btw, there was no need to up any of the voltages for 333 * 9. Mine ran just fine and stable at stock voltages. Also note, the readings from the BIOS and ASUS probe are both going to be the same. To get a more accurate rating, use a volt meter! And you can update to the latest BIOS and try and if it doesn't work, revert back to 1305. Other than that, I really haven't seen much improvement other than being able to unlock the multiplier. However, it only unlocks down (not surprised). Also, be sure to use Core Temp or TAT to measure the temp of your CPU as ASUS Probe and the BIOS read from a different sensor (measures the outside of the core, not inside the core itself).

Good Luck.

P.S. If it's stable and works, leave it alone! LOL!
 
Yeah I'm using Core Temp. I seem to be getting slightly higher temps than what others say(40C at idle at 3GHz, 51C at load at 3GHz) so I'll probably pull the HSF off and reseat it. I did have a pin holding the HSF on not go in all the way so I pushed it in, but some air probably got stuck between there. So I'm gonna start fresh, clean the processor and HSF off, and redo it.

Before I did anything I also replaced the thermal pads on the South Bridge and North bridge with Artic Silver 5. I know the System temp reported in Ai Booster is the South bridge but its reading about 31C which is good.

What's also odd is that I can't adjust the FSB speed in the BIOS. I have to do it through Ai Booster. It just won't pull up the list to select the FSB speed in the BIOS. No idea why. Is there some setting that needs to be enabled/disabled to adjust this?

I have OCZ DDR2-800 5-5-5-15 memory but am currently running it at DDR2-667 (333FSB 1:1) 4-4-4-10. Would I gain any noticeable difference from changing to the higher latency but faster speed?
