BIOS 0402 is out. :) Users have reported that HD problems are fixed now. http://rapidshare.com/files/61339428/P5K-ASUS-Premium-0402.rar

Well, I just got this baby fired up tonight and so far seems OK. Small 25% overclock on stock voltages just to break it in . Running 3 x 320Gb Seagates in RAID 0 mode with no problems to report as regards the many that are having with this chipset. 2 weird things though :confused: CPUz...

From XS Forums....... 'Heart Touching' :rolleyes:

Do NOT upgrade to this BIOS Dantrax!!!......... Bad news about this..........once flashed there is NO RETURN to any previous BIOS!!!

The new 1901 BIOS with 1333FSB support.......;) ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/socket775/P5W%20DH%20Deluxe/

LOL! Overall system requirements.......:rolleyes:

GTS = lower power consumption for system if overclocking and a shorter card to boot :) It does also clock at GTX speeds easily......and beyond if your brave ;) All in all.......best bang for buck!! :D :D

Anyone with the G80 'fog distance problem' .......I.E. objects being greyed over in Half Life 2 should put their concerns in the Steam Forums here...... http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=520343&page=8 It's the only way we can push for a result in fixing this problem as...

I just had to RMA mine after 2 months of good use........:( Over this past week it has become almost unusable......throwing up double and triple left clicks at random when single clicking. Eg. go to open Firefox and 2 or 3 copies open or windows maximising when trying to move them etc etc...

These games have been fixed with the 97.92's :) Splinter Cell Double Agent works with high detail shader on! Halo Painkiller UberSoldier Oblivion :)

Inquirer = Ignore! :rolleyes:

Remember to remove the 2 screws on the PCI bracket also ;) ......this will prevent it from releasing too. Gently twist the sink a few times till it snaps free.....there is quite a bit of goo on there. I found it easier to remove after running the card a while beforehand.

Just thought I'd post my little venture here for those who are interested to see......:) Well was a complete nightmare....LOL......but I got there........only 3 Ramsinks falling off and giving me trouble.....but they will hold till I get the T412 Thermattach tape I ordered........hopefully...

I can clock to 620/1000 (using Riva) and gain is from 8810 at stock to 10389 at that clock. Now......if I up the clocks further....Riva will allow and pass any value strangely?.....but there is no gain whatsoever after 620/1000........ I tried it set at 680/1150.... LOL.......and there was...

Well......I just ran 3DMark06 on the 97.44's and gained 500 marks!! from the 96.89's :) I think this is more a Riva problem than Nvidia.
