How did you 'reset' your BIOS - selecting "load default settings" and then F10 to save and boot? If you do load BIOS defaults and before saving and booting, when you go through the setting are they still stuck with your OC'd settings? If they are not, trying saving the defaults to OC...

In my continued efforts since my previous post to figure out why only my Power fan connectors work while Chassis and CPU do not, i've also noticed that PC Probe does not seem to work either - no monitor panels and no sensor readings. I've taken a screen shot of the error i get when i first try...

So, now that it's summer time here on the east coast and with things heating up i decided to grab another case fan and Northbridge cooler to keep the temps from raising in the warm weather... First off i went with the easy install and threw in the case fan and attached it to Chassis 1 pins...

Perhaps it could be due to a possible skip straight to 1901 since that version is quoted here as "supporting" a FSB of 1333. IF you scroll down to the P5W DH Deluxe, you'll see 1901 as being the listed BIOS. Unfortunately noone can find 1901 and test and 1801 has been around for some time...

I have this exact same "issue". I've been doing a little googling but have yet to find any real info on this , just though i'd let you know i'm in the same boat. I'll get back to you if i find anything... - dDub

Guess i'll double the question here rather than googling for it since this thread seems rather helpful and i'm not completely committed to the upgrade.. I'd contemplated the same thing as i was interested in dropping 40mm fans on NB/SB heatsinks. Problem is, two fan connections are currently...

Phil, Thanks for the suggestions. I 've done the usual testing with Memtest and such and my RAM appears to be ok. I wound testing the first three dividers - none of which were successful... argh. - 2:3 would not allow a POST - 4:5/1:1 would POST but eventually rebooted at random...

I can't find where it says 4, all i see is 5-5-5-15-2. I gave 4 a try though but no luck. Also tried raising the VCore to 1.45 over the previous 1.4 setting. Should i be going higher?

DOh, yea, definitley a type-o. Lemme fix that, Sorry. BTW, where did you see the Write Recovery Time is defaulted @ 4?

Hey guys, I'm having trouble getting my setup up to where i think it should be able to overclock to as well as others with similar specs have been able to get. If i follow the settings from this site to reach 3.6GHz, I cannot even get a POST. Before upgrading to the latest 3dMark06 patch i...

Little update on my Crossfire troubles, new board arrived and install was successfull all around... except for Crossfire still.. I also downgraded to 6.9 Catalyst drivers as well as upgrading to BIOS 1506. The only "success" that i've run accross is the my second card is at least now...

Naw, no beeps. Everything appears to be just fine and normal meaning, all PCI device "power status on" lights are lit and i hear DVD's spinning and the hard dive humming. All fans are spinning and light's lit and Water pump is pumping. I don't have an extra vidcard to test with but being...

Welp, things just got a whole lot worse for me. I did some removing/swapping of PCI cards in an attempt to get Crossfire working and now neither card is outputting a signal when installed alone... I've tried clearing the RTC RAM, but no luck there. Anything else i should try?

@phile, Yes, I've followed both the P5W and my cards manuals and have installed both cards as suggested. The thing is, i'd done exactly the same on my last board and everything worked just fine. @Skott, I haven't run across any CF BIOS settings and there was no mention in manuals...

Ahh... I kept meaning to mention my BIOS version but kept forgetting at the same time. Anywhen.. thanks for the response first off, and as for my BIOS version - I first tried with the version that shipped with my board ( i believe it was in the 1300's?). I then Upgraded to the previous...
