    *** Official ASUS P5W DH Thread ***

    Anandtech Dominator memory on the 975X Sometimes I don't understand how these reviews work. The Corsair forums specifically state that the 975 chipset cannot achieve memory clocks > 1000GHz and remain stable. The P965 can. Yet this review has it doing just that. Comments Phile?

    *** Official ASUS P5W DH Thread ***

    965 vs. 975. I currently have the P5W Dh and am very happy with it. I am running an E6400 OC'd to 3.28GHz with watercooling. Rock stable with memory OC to 820Mhz. My question concerns the new Quad-Core systems. I guess I have been disappointed that the P5B seems to clock so...

    Asus P5W DH - New beta BIOS (1503)

    Why is that so important? How about the mem timings. More stabiltiy with OC. etc. This sounds like a lipstick on a pig BIOS.

    P5WDH RAID setup. Please list steps to do it right

    Yes I have that beep. Its fine. I also have seen that F1 error before. I think the board does have a bug of some type regarding the ATAPI detection. If you are booting into Windows and all is well there then you are good to go. Good Luck!! Neil

    P5WDH RAID setup. Please list steps to do it right

    OK. What is your boot order? Make the RAID array boot FIRST. Then the DVD. Did that help? Thanks, Neil

    P5WDH RAID setup. Please list steps to do it right

    Got your picture. One question. What is your BOOT order. Make the RAID boot first (before the IDE DVD device) and let me know if this problem goes away. Thanks, Neil

    P5WDH RAID setup. Please list steps to do it right

    NO SATA drives are not difficult. My advice is to not put anything on the JMICRON controller. Use the primary IDE channel below the floppy for your DVD or CD-ROM drives. That JMICRON controller is flaky. If you Google JMICRON and P5W DH you will see what I mean. There are numerous reports of...

    P5WDH RAID setup. Please list steps to do it right

    No, Leave your Raptors alone. Move your DVD jumpers (on the actual drive) to CABLE SELECT, plug it into the IDE Slot right below the floppy connector and boot. On page 2-32 the manual indicates CABLE SELECT or MASTER. If Master is not working then use CABLE SELECT. The ASUS CDc sucks. I...
