ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Thread

yeah man 1460 (365*9) and my ram is running unlinked at 933mhz

i tried lowering the multy and using a higher FSB but it didnt seem to like that. wouldnt post at 3.28 using the same settings that work at 3.28 at 9 multy and locks up in the bios at 3.0 (1500). needless to say i gave up on lowering the multy quickly...

anyway theres nothing wrong with 3.2-3.3ghz out of a 1.8 chip that cost 170 bux....

Your first line says it all.
Make your RAM slower.

No, I expect a lot out of my motherboard. 3.6Ghz is nothing for an E6300.

i guessed well then m8.there is fsb wall on the e4300 - interested to read that you managed run ram at 933 -how did you manage that-what timings are you running and volts on all areas - cant get my corsair xms2 pc6400c3 above 667,lol, which is crazy for this ram,look forward to knowing what your settings are,thanks for post.

Hey everybody. I'm new to Overclock.net! I found overclock.net when I searched for info on this particular motherboard which I'm considering on getting.

Firstly:
I have a suggestion for the origional post! What about adding a list of memory modules that work @ speeds people in this thread have achieved?

Secondly:
Does anybody know whether Patriot Signature Line DDR2 800MHz works in this motherboard? (I'm not too bothered about overclocking it though)

Thirdly:
Is it easy overclocking an E4300 to around 2.8GHz without issues and without voltage increase?

Thanks in advance

*edit* oh and does this motherboard have 2 IDE connectors?

I sent you a PM….Curious to know what settings you’re using for your e4300..

1) That would be more for a memory/DDR2 thread, not a P5N-E board...But from what I heard, the only RAM that this board doesn't like are early Patriot sticks and non-Gold Edition OCZ RAM.

2) Pretty sure anything will work if you just go and buy it now. Don't really have to worry about Patriot not working unless you have some old sticks laying around that you want to use.

3) Easy? Yes. Stock volts? Probably, but you might have to. 1.4v isn't hard on the chip even with the stock cooler, so you have nothing to worry about if you do have to.

And yep. Two IDE connectors.

(And welcome to OCN btw. )

Should the LDT Frequency be set to 8x?

Praeses, thanks for the suggestion - I think I'd rather note RAM that DOESN'T work because it is easier - OCZ Platinums and early Patriot DDR2.

Just to clarify - two IDE connecters as in two onboard, with 2 devices per channel, ie 4 devices total.

JCrushing- as pook said, lower you ram. Why run 933Mhz when you should be @ 730Mhz for 1:1?

[JCushing]

my exact memory timings are maybe 1-2 pages back.... i dunno why your havin problems, my memory will run unlinked at any speed it wants up to 933mhz cas5. runs just fine at 800mhz cas 4 and will even do 1t with some work (not very stable)

[dpawl31]

My point is why are you running it so much higher than your FSB?
That's just asking for instability.
