ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Thread

[Ravin]

Wowsa....So UPS said that they would pick up and redeliver my stuff on next Monday. ***! Monday?!?

So.....I tracked down where they dropped it off and went knocking on their door. The guy was super cool and handed all my stuff right over.

So here it is....minimal tinkering with my settings, stock timings are 5-5-5-15-2T @2.0 volts & 1000MHz- which booted right up no problems.

I linked the CPU/RAM in the bios @ 920MHz, and dropped the timings to 4-4-4-12 2T @2.0V and boom....screenie shown here:

I'll tinker some more with the timings over the next few weeks, but for now I say not too bad.

As promised....
The desktop on my desktop is huge!

1) That silverstone case should be on the floor, it looks rediculous on a desk lol, so big.
2) Time to get a new keyboard and, my god boy, speakers!
3) Who needs a second 19" when you have a 46" rear projection right next to you

The case is up for 4 very good reasons reasons 1) we have cats, and cat hair tends to hold a static charge 2) lots of other dust collects on the floor, 3) you can't see all the hard work I've done inside the case, and 4) Its a pain to tinker inside the box when it's tucked away on the floor

New keyboard? You gotta be kidding? I LOVE the ergonomic - I'd only trade it in if it came in black!

You got me on the speakers. It used to be hooked up to a 1200W 5.1 surround with a 800W PA amp running 2 12" subs. Gaming sure did kick @$$ with 2000W pumping out explosions and gunshots. That got moved into the living room when our other stereo died and we needed something in there. One of these days I'll get some new audio, but that's on the bottom of the list.

I gotta stay focused on getting a new CPU and H2O cooling installed first....speaking of.....anyone found a good SB H2O block that won't interfere with SLI on this thing?

See the side shot of the case....note the neat cable management

That looks ALMOST as good as mine (insert sarcasmists voice)

Mine's not MUCH better though!! Too busy with work, coming home tired, to deal with it right now!

Has anyone had any issues since flashing to that beta 0501 Bios awhile back. I've since flashed back to 0401 but it seems that the board will not OC near as well as it would prior. Input needed please!

WTH IS THAT STOCK COOLER DOING IN THERE

got my open boxed board today, no accessories.

Vista would crash trying to use 8800GTS.

Quick question, which way is the SLI selector go for single card config?
