Chilly1 and asus p5w dh/core 2 duo

[turbocrime]

Hi I purchased the chilly1 prommy some time last year and have frozen several cpu's with it, one of the best purchases I have made. My latest ice cube is a core 2 duo on a asus p5w dh. This has an annoying feature when overclcoked of doing a cold restart which makes the prometeia think the system has shutdown so it turns off then the system boots up again but the prometeia is off so the system shutsdown and then you have to wait for the restart delay to kick in.

This is really annoying as when i turn it back on the mb thinks its been a bad boot and sets the bios settings back to std. What does the prometeia monitor to know the system is on? and is there anyway of making a small circuit latch that will keep the power to the prometeia long enough to keep it on.

cheers

Latest bios should fix this problem. (pretty sure there's a version out for the P5W, know the P5B has been "fixed" already)

I'm not sure the latest BIOS does fix this issue, as it's been around on a lot of the Asus boards.

If you use a 2nd PSU for the molex connector on the Mach unit, the controller should be tricked into thinking that the PC is still running as it's geting its 5v feed.
