*** Official ASUS P5W DH Thread ***

Hi, I can't help you with the JMicron, I disabled it last night soon after booting up. But I did install WinXP with no problems on a RAID 0 running on the Intel ICH7R. Here's what I did: 1. Get on a machine with a floppy drive. Put the motherboard driver CD in the machine, and try the...

Anandtechs much awaited NF4 roundup is out!

Hi, yeah, overall I'm extremely happy with my MSI Platinum SLI board. I can't say the same about my Gigabyte SLI board I had previously. I had loads of issues with it. The MSI on the other hand has been performing flawlessly. Almost everything works except CPU voltage won't go above 1.55v...

Anyone HAve Luck OC the GiGaByte K8NXP-Sli

I had the board working for about 4 days. I can't say too much about it as I never got a chance to really test it out before it blew up on me. I know it went up to 315 mhz FSB on its own. 1:1 1T, I couldn't tell you because either my Corsair PC4400 was/is screwed or the Gigabyte board had...

IS INTEL really better?

Based off of personal experience alone, I would say that I have had much better success with Intel than with AMD. In the past 5 years, I've had an Athlon 900 with a VIA chipset, then an Intel P4 1.8A with an Intel 845 chipset, then an Intel P4 2.4C with an Intel 865 chipset and now I've just...

What Heatsink/Fan better than stock work on Gigabyte K8nxp SLI Board??

And by the way, the newer 7000B comes with its own backplate that's the same as the one they sent me, so that will work out of the box. All you need to do is remove the plastic retention frame that comes with the motherboard which is pretty easy because of the plastic push pins. Adrian

What Heatsink/Fan better than stock work on Gigabyte K8nxp SLI Board??

I have a Zalman 7000Cu (the original model). Before I had to RMA my Gigabyte board, I got it working perfectly on the motherboard. It didn't work out of the box, but all I had to do was contact the Zalman reseller here in the UK, and for no charge, they sent me a new backplate with new...

Maximum memory overclock on Gigabyte SLI?

Hi, for the 5 total people out there with the Gigabyte SLI board, what is your maximum memory overclock at 1:1 1T? So far I've been able to run 275 stable in Prime 95 (I think), but it crashed after 20 minutes at 280. This is using a 3xHTT, 6x multiplier, and 2.8V on the mem. I have some...

Gigabyte K8NXP-SLI and Maxtor NCQ drive

Yes. Made no difference. This is a BIOS issue anyway, I have trouble POSTing sometimes.

sata 2 on gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI / Maxtor sata 2 drives

See my other thread in this forum about this same topic. I can't get the drive to work on the nvidia (yellow) ports. It works just fine on the Silicon Image (red) ports. But I'm worried that there might not be a lock on those ports when overclocking.

Gigabyte K8NXP-SLI and Maxtor NCQ drive

Yo, alright, I'm having a devil of a time getting this drive working properly on my Gigabyte board. My OS drive is a RAID 0 36 GB Raptor array. Those work fine. If I try plugging the Maxtor into the nvidia SATA ports, sometimes it boots, but I haven't made it into Windows yet (blue...

Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI and Zalman CNPS7000Cu

Hmm, that sucks. What's the best way to go about doing that? I have a feeling Zalman tech support is going to be impossible to deal with. I emailed them about it. On their website, it seems like the newer version of my cooler, the 7000B, comes with the backplate, so it would just be a...

Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI and Zalman CNPS7000Cu

Hi, I've had my Zalman for a while, but just got a new motherboard, the Gigabyte SLI. I'm having problems fitting the cooler onto the motherboard, because the plastic backplate supplied with the motherboard uses plastic push pins for connection with the heatsink retention mechanism. My...

MSI K8N SLI or GIGABYTE K8NXP-SLI

Do it! I did. Mine should be here on Monday. For me it was a no brainer. I wasn't going to buy a board that was £20 more expensive (here in the UK) when it had pretty much the same features but no PCI-e x1 slots. The only advantage I can see for the MSI is the onboard Creative Sound. But...

Gigabyte K8NXP-SLI SATA problem

Mystere, I don't believe you've done this correctly. I really don't think you have to set up a JBOD array with a single drive. If it's anything like my BIOS, what you need to do is set your Boot Priority so that "Bootable Add-in Device" is the first one selected. Then you should be able to...
