    Thanks for the advice, I think I may not mess with OCing the FSB until I get a more agressive Heatsink. I wish Thermalright would release that 120 extreme tower.

    *** Official ASUS P5W DH Thread ***

    Thanks For the detailed answers. I appreciate it. A few questions concerning the FSB @ 266. Is it worth it to bump it up to 400mhz? I understand that there is risk of instability and such. Are most people with DDR2-800 using this setting? and is it safe to leave the CPU voltage at auto if I...

    Hi all, I had a quick question about the 2 'Ez Raid' Sata Ports. I haven't put everything together yet as I await my cpu and other components, but I was curious to know if those 'Ez Raid' ports at the bottom of the board can be used in non-raid mode? I'm hoping so only becuase I would like to...
