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).Originally posted by: bpatters69
I wanted to check to see if there is any advantage to upgrading the BIOS to the newest rev.

I have a question about the ez backup used for raid. How hard is it to use? I see there are five in the manual on their site. Is that correct. If so, and I use the ez backup ports will the other three work for sata dvd drives? Can anyone explain a little bit about this board and the sata ports? Thanks. Anyone.
Then have you already used the 2-port slot unit included in the box? I removed the slot cover and installed mine internally as a mini-hub for my 3-1/2 card reader and 5-1/4 hub.Originally posted by: jedisponge
I was hoping if there a way to turn that off, because I stupidly broke my case's front 2 usb ports by running into something that was plugged into it and I'm in need of more ports.
4 in the back panel, 4 on-board.Originally posted by: mikepaul
There are supposed to be 8 individual USB ports based on the BIOS options, but I never found them all...
OK, I guess, but I expected 4 distinct plug spots. USB is easily split, so I thought the 'mini-hub' they provided was one port being split into two. Now I know better for next time...Originally posted by: QuietRiot
I've highlighted the 4 on-board here: http://img157.imageshack.us/img157/3226/asusp5wbc7.jpg

I'm running on the 1801 Bios as well, is the newer one any better?
Why not use a port NOT rigged to restart? The hub should work there too, right?Originally posted by: jedispongeAlso, even if I plug a USB hub into the bottom the ports, the computer still restarts after powering down.
This is defintely not a life or death issue, but just a larger than average annoyance. I just wish there was a way to turn this off.

Why does it say only update the chipset on a new install?

That's why I asked, I wouldn't expect there to be a problem with it. Would an image of the OS partition be enough of a backup before upgrading it?
Thanks for answering, could anyone else confirm that updating the chipset shouldn't be a problem? (Not that it matters, still on XP)

Hi everyone, I recently purchased an Asus p5w dh, however after assembling that along with my Asus N7800GTX, 2 x OCZ 8000 Sli Ram modules, and a Conroe E6400 CPU I get the green light on the mobo and that's it, when I hit the power button on my case, nothing happens. I tried disconnecting each component individually, still won't power up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Ok, I'm off on another computer. I will be using the P5W DH Deluxe for this one. I want the perfect memory for this board. I have looked and looked in this forum but can't really tell for sure. What do you believe is the best memory for this board. It will be oc but not much. I will be using C2D 6600. Can you give me some suggestions for this one. I was really looking hard at Buffalo Firestyx but they keep going out of stock before I can get them. Anyone.

What you want is a good kit of PC2-6400 (CL4), of which there are plenty. The best kit for the P5WDH? Hard to say. However, if you're only planning a modest overclock, I suspect any of the following kits will be just fine.

The last kit is what I am currently using, and I have no complaints.
