ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Thread

2T, yes try that.
Also- when you manually entered timings, did you try AUTO vdimm @ that point, or just AUTO timings + vdimm.
Manual timings and AUTO vdimm solved my issues, specifically with memory errors.

I've been running it at 2T. I tried running it at 1T before I started having problems with the memory. The computer would always lock up right after I started Orthos.

I've tried the different combinations of manual/auto and timings/vdimm. Nojoy. How do I check the voltage at the dimm slot? Have multimeter in hand...

Ouch... not a clue there.
Maybe those high end sticks just don't work with the board?

What memory would you recommend? I see that you are using the OCZ gold, but they are not on the MQV list either. How long have you been running the OCZ Gold?

I've been using mine for a couple months..

Is it possible to fix a north bridge cooler on a south bridge? Do they have the same types of hole? Is this true for the P5N-E SLI?

A simple yes to them all.

I've been using the Gold for about 6 months.
I only have the 1GB Kit, Kopi's P5N-E has the 2GB Kit.
I wouldn't neccessarily reccommend them though, Kopi says his overclock pretty well but I have yet to try it, no need @ the moment.
I would get yourself some D9's...

I am building a system and from scratch and just need to put it all together, but I'm gonna wait till I get back home. I would like to test all the parts while I'm still in Toronto and exchange parts that are not compatible. I'm just waiting on an already shipped PSU, but maybe someone here can tell me if this RAM is compatible by experience: Mushkin EM2-6400 DDR2-800 2x1GB EM Series CAS 5-5-5-12. Also the NB and SB issues. Should the NB be changed to allow a better CPU cooler, or is the stock one the best solution? I'm also assuming the SB can't stay naked, is just a heatsink sufficient? Any and all help welcome.
