*** Official ASUS P5W DH Thread ***

I received the new RAM today and it passed 3 passes of MemTest with 0 errors, so I'm declaring a victory there.

That sounds good, don't think I'm quite ready for lapping it yet. I'd go for an aftermarket cooler on its own, at least to start, before lapping. I'll give it a shot with the stock HSF + AS5 and see how it does.

*** Official ASUS P5W DH Thread ***

Well, I tried what you suggested, and I've dropped about 10 deg. C overall since I last posted. I was running idle in the low 50s and maxing out at 79-80 during Orthos. Now I idle in the mid-40s and Orthos seems to be maxing out at 69-70. Still not ideal, but it's an improvement. Specifically...

Yup, no problems there. :) Until I asked, I was just going by their stated policies. Conversation with the live rep is saved and will be pasted into my RMA request. :)

I contacted Newegg and the live chat rep informed me that they wouldn't cross-ship, but that I could order again and the first pair would be fully refunded (not -15%, I specifically asked) upon its return.

Yeah, that was my concern. Looks like neither of them will do that. I'm getting pretty far OT on the mobo here, so thanks for the help.

I did a few more tests to rule it out, and it's definitely that DIMM. I tried it in the black slots (was using the orange slots), and also I read something on the Corsair forums about trying it with a 1:1 ratio. So I tried it with FSB 266 / DDR2 533 and that didn't help. Any opinion on if...

Thanks for the tip. I always power-down the PSU and unplug it before I get started. Looks like I'll be RMAing the kit.

Alright, I've only tried seating it once, I'll take another look at that. As far as the memory goes, I think I've found the culprit. Here are my test results: Test 1 (both DIMMs): 2.0V, 2 errors at 835.6 MB in Test 6 Test 2 (both DIMMs): 2.1V, 2 errors at 835.6 MB in Test 7 Test 3 (one...

Thanks, I'll give that a try. I'm not sure what the rated votage is for my kit. In fact I found the memory timings on the Newegg product description page. :) I'll take a look at Corsair's site and see. Looks like I do want to run it at 2.1...

First, thanks for this thread, just signed up for the forums because of it. I've had the P5W DH for a few days now. I have an E6700 proc. I'm using this memory: CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail I changed the...
