Greetings,
Recieved a P5W DH today to have a play with my nice clocking 6300. I was hoping to report some good things but alas I'm not impressed. First impressions of the board were , WOW nice box and look at all the extra's. Remote, wifi, this, that and the other. Nice heatpipe that looked like real copper. Wicked I thought some serious overclocking here. It even said designed for overclocking. Anyway I also recieved another oem 6300 so I set about testing. Lashed it up installed windows installed the lastest bios 901 or is it 910 and then tried to overclock. First stab was 400 which booted into windows and froze. So I upped the MCH volts to the middle setting and bingo nice and stable. I then went for 430, refused to boot. So I thought bad chip got my nice clocking 6300 which managed 510 and put that in again refused to boot at 430. Tried all sorts couldnt get it to boot at 430. Tried my new chip in my ds4 at 475 at default and bingo nice and stable so to conclude I'm not impressed with the P5W. Nice looking board but not a patch on the DS4. I have a 6600 arriving in the next week so I will try that on the P5W and DS4. At least my other chip is a good clocker
