The ASUS P5W DH Deluxe is definitely a motherboard targeted at the enthusiasts. It looks good, performs well and offers quite a fair bit of overclocking features. Some of us, a more feverish group of enthusiasts like to take matters into our own hands however. Like a free-lance artist roaming the streets, I took my drawing pencil, this time round to the P5W DH.

Memory voltage is offered up to 2.4v via the BIOS. More may be need to maximize Memory clocks.

Locate this portion of the motherboard, right beside the last DIMM Slot. Measure the Memory voltage from the MOSFET leg shown above. Pencil the resistor circled to increase voltage. Original Resistance is about 575 ohms. Go down slowly, about 20 ohms at a time, to increase voltage.

VMCH, that is the 975 Northbridge chipset voltage, goes up to 1.65v via BIOS. More may be desired when shooting for high FSBs.

Locate this portion of the motherboard, right below the DIMM Slots. Measure VMCH from the MOSFET leg shown above. Pencil the resistor circled to increase voltage. Original Resistance is about 444 ohms. Go down slowly, about 20 ohms at a time, to increase voltage.
