New P5W Bios 1403 - With Multiplier Selection

Forgive me if this has been posted already :eek:

Ok here's a new bios for the P5WDH, I have flashed this bios on my board and it allows the multiplier to be changed downwards in the bios for my 6600

You can select 6-9 and they all work for me.

Website

1403 of this bios has now been released, again this is a beta, but as people further down are reporting it is more stable than the 1402.

1403 Bios download is here : 1403 Bios

Have now edited and removed 1402 as it was unstable.

I expect to see some mad FSB clocks now on this board from you people lucky enough to have 6600's that do 3.6g etc

Let us know how you get on...

I take no responsibility for any probs people may have with this bios

Be warned people are reporting serious stability problems with this BIOS. Mainly people saying that overclocks that were previously Orthos (dual Prime) stable suddenly arent with this BIOS with the same settings.

Worth pointing out also that this is a BETA BIOS, it's not official released by Asus. I guess there will be a 1405 version in a few days.

Don't let that put anyone off trying it though

I can confirm that I have lost stability with this Bios. Would avoid if you have high overclocks

ferrettoes · 15 Sep 2006 at 11:34

Well I've just flashed mine and no problems as yet running 400x8 3.2ghz, going to try 425x8 now and see if thats stable.

What CPU have you got?

ferrettoes · 15 Sep 2006 at 11:49

E6600

I have stopped using this bios because of the unstablities Durzel mentioned. Im now using official bios v1305 and my overclock is once again stable.

Durzel · 15 Sep 2006 at 19:52

Just to complicate things further...

New version (still BETA) - 1403. No idea what's fixed, use at your own risk etc

easyrider · 15 Sep 2006 at 20:24

So can we get higher FSB with this bios?

I'm currently at 426

I can go higher but its not stable.Its not my chip its defo the mobo.

ferrettoes · 15 Sep 2006 at 21:09

Aye mine won't fire up past 400 with that 1402bios wats the crack with the newer one is it any better?

djay · 16 Sep 2006 at 00:13

Just flashed the 1403 bios, all seems ok. It has fixed a CPU error which occurred in the 1402 bios. Not noticed any other changes, not really played with it though to be fair. My previous clock works fine. I'm only running 356x9 for 3.2ghz. I tried 400x8 but it will not boot on that, have tried upping voltages etc but no go.

Jimbo · 16 Sep 2006 at 15:12

Am now using 1403, it is a lot more stable than 1402, in that my overclock works again and timings are the same as asus's official bioses.

ferrettoes · 16 Sep 2006 at 19:54

flashed to 1403
It boots @ 400x8 but it won't boot up any more than 410 but if u set 425 in clockgen its stable.

You may want to flash to 1403 as this is more stable bios as has been confirmed by others above. I can't remember the exact location where you select the multi as im at work at the mo. I will check it later and post back for you though. They are definitely there.

Another thing is, i don't seem to be able to run 400x8 at all no matter what settings i choose. Yet i can run 356x9 for 3.2g. I have tried manual ram timings and auto. I have maxed the vcmh voltages etc but always just get a black screen.

My specs are:

P5W DH
Conroe E6600
2x1gb Gskill HZ
7950gx2

Any ideas?

Jimbo · 18 Sep 2006 at 16:06

Same here, heres a copy of my post from xtreme...

I'm trying to run 7x400 fsb on my E6600 and I was hoping it would work at that lower multi so I could reduce vcore and therefore bring down temps at load on the cpu.

Dosent even get to the post screen and I have to power off to get back in the bios.

I'm running at the mo - 9x333fsb mem @ 833mhz vcore and mem volt auto, and nb/sb 1.50v/1.05v

Any ideas?

Already updated to 1403, and have foudn the multi adjustment, havent really cranked it up to far yet

Can't find 1403 BIOS download.

Anyone know where it is?!!!!

welshtom · 19 Sep 2006 at 22:18

Might have to try this, although my board gets flakey above 440 fsb.

Needed the vMCH mod to get anywhere above 380 with it. these boards seem hit and miss...

i have an ES chip, will the multi selection allow me to use higher ones than the 10x i have now?
