ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Thread

[The Pook]

Dud? No. It's the average. Read around some of the reviews and you'll see the average is anywhere from 460 to 485.

Go to other forums as well and poke around. More people are stuck in that range that at 500+.

Wasn't orthos stable past a few seconds though, so I upped it again and I was all good. Then I went up to 400 FSB and started fiddling with the vcore again.

Thanks for the info, i don't really want to put my Vcore up that high, and i didn't really run into a block, at 400 * 8 I can boot into windows at stock voltage (1.325V) but under full load, orthos, the voltage drops down to 1.26 and the computer shuts off.

Edit: Sweet 100 pages!!!

Well got everything installed and so far so good. That NB gets hot hot hot I do not have an exact temp yet but the Thermalright on there is warm to the touch and you would not be able to leave your hand on there forever. The SB is ok but does still get warm. Took be the better part of 3 hours to install everything (I took it very slow and the damn infinity did not want to install). The board is very well laid out minus the 4pin which is bad on all new nvidia chipsets being way over there, luckily i bought an extension cable from performance-pcs. To be honest I am liking this board over the 680i I had already as I did not like the heatpipe coolers as I was going to replace them anyways.

Oh and I loaded the board up with BGA heatsinks, she is practically made of copper by this point.

o_O Look @ all that copper

How the hell is your SB warm? And your NB is hot @ stock, with that BEAST?

My NB is @ 1.5v and is barely warm to the touch, with stock HS o_O and my SB is ice cold!

Lookin great pinky!

[Mr Pink57]

The Thermalright always seems to get hot. It even got hot on my Ultra-D when the thing was cool. Until I find out what the temp is I will not worry about it. I know the CPU is at 28C from the BIOS so I am doing good there. As for the SB it may be the GPU cooler that is causing that as it blows at the mobo and may be passing over the SB.

Maybe its just transferring heat so much better it just feels warmer.
Maybe my chip is staying hotter than yours because it cant cool well enough.

That's mah guess.
