Asus P5W DH Deluxe/WiFi In-Depth Overclocking Review
 

Asus has engineered their way into the hearts of Overclockers and the homes of PC-Users the world over. Asus pioneered the OEM market, introducing “Enthusiast” style motherboards long before the phrase “PC-Enthusiast” was coined. Asus motherboards are synonymous with overclocking and the P5W DH Deluxe/WiFi is no exception.

Wow, that's one great review. GJ L3D :)

Oh what a tangled web we weave when we first set out to ........

Hi,

I did 8000+ memory bandwidth(according to everest) on my P5W DH Deluxe on aircooling(Stock Intel Fan) with my Q6600 and had 1333 FSB at 3000Mhz(333x9) at 333Mhz 4.4.4.11 memory and also just got under 8000 memory bandwidth with 418Mhz 5.5.5.15 memory. Memory is Team Elite DDR2-800 which is rated at the settings above at 2.3-2.375.

I got pics etc. but will post tomorrow if I remember.

I'm outta here for the moment.

Enjoy.

PLease do :) And thank you all for your comments !

Hi, Sorry for the late reply.

Well originally I was using my Mobo's(Intel 975 Asus P5W DH Deluxe) auto mode and got the memory at 416.8FSB as per pic below. Note FSB/CPU running 4:5 ratio at 3Ghz.



But I then to o/c my CPU myself and got better results.

3Ghz air with 1:1 ratio at 333FSB


At 3.2Ghz on air with 1:1 ratio at 356.4FSB - 8800GTS o/c to extreme on default air


At this moment I run my CPU at 3Ghz as below .. but get just over 12000+ 3dMark06 since I installed the Zalman 9700 Cooler.



Running 3.2Ghz runs hot but still stable.

My best Overclocks :)

Intel Q6600 B3 @ 3.2Ghz (9x)
Asus P5W DH Deluxe Bios 2004 Intel 975X 1426Mhz
Asus GTS8800 320MB @ 675/936
Team Elite 800Mhz 4x1Ghz - 356Mhz(712)
Zalman CNPS9700L CPU Cooler
WindowsXP 32-Bit
3DMark06 - 12415

already posted this a good while ago elsewhere, but seems suited here.

E6400 (2.13ghz) @ 3200Mhz with 1600fsb 1:1 and memory at 4-4-4-12 gives me a 17.6s 1M SuperPi with cores running 24°c i might add. NB is a lil' hot though in the summer.

Q6600 B3 @ 3.4Ghz stable .. does 3DMark06 :)



I got it as high as 3.5Ghz in Windows but it wouldn't complete 3DMark06.

Been playing games and all at 3.4Ghz ... very stable. :D Notice the cool temps.

My Zalman 9700
