Default M2N SLI & M2N32 SLI Deluxe Club " Official "


So you have a Green M2N Series Motherboard, and like all of us at some point you'll have questions about our board. Well join the club! Literally. I welcome new members of all motherboard types to join the club and encourage you to contribute by sharing your wealth of knowledge.

Even though ASUS does not officially support what we recently discoverd. I am proud to announce with the help of some pioneers that our mothoerboards will boot and run with the New AM2+ Phenom II CPU's. So incase your wondering yes your M2N Series motherboard will run happily with a new Am2+ Ph II cpu.
FTW

Some people have been using the AM3 CPU's like the x4 955 in these motherboards w/some little work arounds. For example: Several users have reported not being able to coldboot normally w/out having to push the reset button or, F1, F2 or the J Key while coldbooting the system. Some users have reported bugs when using USB keyboards w/the latest updates and and were able to fix this bug by the use of a PS2 keyboard. Additionally other users report being able to fix these little coldboot set backs by downclocking the ram divider to 667MHz in the bios. Here is a direct link to a x4 955 validation on this mobo thanks to our member of this club BigJohn44. Explained in greater detail how to make an AM3 CPU work with a M2N series mobo.

There is a link to Nvidia System Tools in the Nvidia section listed below. Nvidia System Tools is what BigJohn44 uses to run his system w/the right CPU/HT Frequencies.


To all the M2N users, I would like to congradulate you on your choice of motherboard and will do my very best to help out anybody with these MotherBoards. In order to do so I request a few things from you. Please before you post questions, make sure your User CP is up to date and your System Information is listed in your sig so all our members will be able to see what we are working with. I urge every new member to participate in their own learning curve as much as possible by taking some time to learn the information listed in the guides below. Together we can all make this a fun yet insightfull club to be part of and always remember "United we stand"

I have been ponering the thought of requiring New members to post a Valid CPU-Z link. Here is a post when I had no intentions of doing this but I think it may be for the best now as many people have a lot of questions regarding what kind of cpu's these mobo's can run.

Due to unforeseen circumstances and reasons unannounced to me CorryBasler will no longer be managing This Thread. As always I’m sad to see a member go. As of November 20th 2008 I’m offered the Opportunity to be the new Leader of this thread and will do my best to keep every club member current. Additionally I will add new members to our roster upon request. I have a couple of ideas already planned for this club. With a little luck and help from our members, I'm sure this will remain an enjoyable club for some time to come. Extended thank you to The Duke for making this possible.




Work in progress

Quote tmj: Now, as far as learning what the values are for the settings on "Auto," I use two programs (they perform identically): A64 Tweaker and MemSet.

A64 Tweaker is an old standby for K8s; I don't know, however, if it works on anything later than S939. MemSet, on the other hand, is almost universally-compatible. K10stat

Sweet, I'm here

It's a great board, I'd overclock my cpu further if I had a better heatsink too. That 4400+ at 3.25ghz is insane btw. What vcore is that on?

I used to have one of these boards. Got a 5600+ windsor up to 3.4 benching and 3.3 stable daily with max temps 56 full load.

This board is an insane AMD OC'er
