Q
Windows Vista Tweaks/Performance FAQ Thread *LONG*

Indeed, Foxit Reader is a much better choice and what I use normally. I had to install Acrobat because I needed to complete an online form that was not working properly with Foxit.

Q
Windows Vista Tweaks/Performance FAQ Thread *LONG*

BD2003, thanks for the great thread! One thing to add: Adobe Acrobat Reader installer requires that UAC be running. Or, at least, when it was off it would give me an error, when on it would install. There's probably a way around it with UAC off, but I only had the ability of trial and error...

FP93GX keeps defaulting to analog driver (FP93E)

I recently bought the BenQ FP93GX and connected it to my X1900XT with the normal VGA cable (the blue one). Got it all working and realized that I probably should use the DVI connector instead (white one). Switched the cables, switched the monitor drivers, and it all worked nicely. Recently I...

You should be fine with BIOS 1601. Here's a good thread to look for the newest BIOS (look on page 1), but you will see at the end that there are many people complaining about the latest BIOS (1801 onwards). Unless you have a new CPU (quad-core, etc., don't bother).

*** Official ASUS P5W DH Thread ***

I would advise to take a look at the DDR2 800 RAM. A quick look on NewEgg and your RAM seems to be only $5 cheaper than the cheapest DDR2 800 RAM. I was just putting together a computer for a friend and I was amazed at how 'expensive' some of the DDR2 667 RAM is. And, given the fact that the...

Q
*** Official ASUS P5W DH Thread ***

Looks like a very nice setup. What power supply are you going to be using? For the overall settings, I believe that the 'auto's should be stable enough, except for the RAM. I would set the speed, voltage, and timings by hand. Speed: the board might ran your RAM 1:1 which would mean 533 MHz...

I think if you remove the EZ Backup jumpers than one of the orange connectors becomes part of the ICH7R array. I know I read this on the XtremeSystems P5W forum, but can't find it right now.

I own a Tuniq and it fits just fine. It is, however, a more complicated installation than just pushing the pins (as it is in the standard heatsink). You have to remove the motherboard and the Tuniq is huge so you might need to double-check if you case can handle it.

Q
*** Official ASUS P5W DH Thread ***

Looking around the forums you'll see people claiming that CPU-Z does not report the voltages correctly in some cases. What innovative thing the motherboard/cpu might be doing is activating C1E and SpeedStep. You sound rather knowledgeable and I would be surprised that you overlooked them, but...

Ryansebiz, I also have a P180, P5W Dlx, and the Tuniq; but I'm running my with the fan. Just curious, why did you decide against the fan in the Tuniq? And which fans do you have running in the back of the case? Back to topic, my overclocking experience has been that the cpu needs little...

I think the CHA_FAN1/2 and PWR_FAN1/2 are mostly nomenclature. In any case, check the BIOS and see if that PWR_FAN shows up in one of those Q-fan options; if it does than it's okay to plug in on it. *Maybe* the PWR_FAN are simply for monitoring while the CHA_FAN allows for controlling.

Is there not a connector on the video card itself? I would think that the video card would want to control the speed of that fan.
