VMem, VMCH
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.
Voltage Modding voids your warranty! All Penciling Must be done with the PC turned off!
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.

VCore, VFSB
CPU Core Voltage goes up to 1.7v via BIOS. More may be desired when one has the cooling to match.
Locate this portion of the motherboard, right beside the CPU socket. You can monitor VCore from the BIOS. Pencil the resistor circled to increase voltage. Original Resistance is about 820 ohms. Go down slowly, about 20 ohms at a time, to increase voltage.
Finally, for those who really want to tweak, there is the VFSB to fool around with.
Locate this portion of the motherboard, right below the first PCIE x16 slot. You can measure VFSB from the spot shown. Pencil the resistor circled to increase voltage. Original Resistance is about 1.17Kohms. Go down slowly, about 20 ohms at a time, to increase voltage.
And there you have it! Good luck Michelangelo!
