im looking towards getting a P5W DH for my conroe e6600. Im shooting to get atleast to 3.4 on air cooling (TT BT). I want to get the P5W DH but i heard it required mods to get a overclock. I am not good at solding/modding motherboards. Should i still get this board evn though i cant mod?
 
I got my P5W to 400FSB easy. The board will not hold you back @ all even when running water. You should be able to get 3.4 out of the chip with a slight bump in voltage. My X6800 did 3.4 on stock voltage without breaking a sweat. After that it becomes a bit harder.
 
Mods to get an overclock, what? Says who? And where?

Can anyone correct of confirm this crap?


Last think I want to hear on a 270 dollars motherboard.

No mods here........unless you plan on running LN2 I highly doubt you will need to anyways.
 
Did you get your remote working? I read that some people are having issues with the remote as well as a cmos chip. Where are people buying this board. I'm considering it, but I don't want to pay a cent over $250.
 
Sorry, you're a day late and a dollar short.

First hand account from a direct owner on this thread said he didn't need any mod on his new Asus board to overclock.

Good enough for me.

As to what all that crap is hanging off that guys motherboard, it makes zero sense to me. True, I didn't hang around and read up on exactly what he was trying to do .. BUT ... I refuse to believe for one second that Asus, one of the top motherboard makers has it's new owners turning to, whatever-the-fuq that guy was doing as a way to OVER CLOCK their boards.

A quick study suggests he is trying to do something all together different.

Do you actually honestly believe anyone has to go to that length to .... do a basic overclock? I saw ... what? ... several solder points. LMAO.

Give me a break.

Thanks for digging that up but, that has GOT to mean something else.

Basic is turning up the multi with low FSB's. Increasing MCH > 1.65v can help get past 400FSB with a slow board. Very basic, but useful mod, especially for low locked multiplier Allendales. VR mods with are very common in the OC community to push settings past bios limits or correct/raise droop voltages.
