ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Thread

lol That looks like a way dodgey mspaint job. They could have at least put one on that had a bit of shine or looked a bit cooler.

It's fine to me.

If you guys are annoyed you didn't get a heatsink, just get one of these.

They're cheap ($18.50 USD MSRP), they're sexy (copper and sexy), and they cool kick-ass-ed-ly.

omg...my BIOS keep freezing and im clearing the CMOS. Unless if I am doing it the wrong way???

Unplug the PSU, pull it off Pins 1-2 and put it on 12-3 and hold it there for 5-15 seconds. After that replace it to the 1-2 p[ins and plug it back up? Is that the correct way to clear the CMOS or not becuase if it is that doesn't work and I'm still getting BIOS freezes...

pop out that battery on the board after you have to comp unplugged. Its right above the Blue pci-e slot. It always works for me.

I have tried both batteries, The one by the SATA ports and the one above the blue PCI-E.

Haldf the time when i trurn on the power the screen doesn't even turn on and then other half when the Asus logo screen coems up it either freezes right on the spot or it has a bar that goes across the screen all corrupted looking (like when you pulled out a cartridge game for older systems while playing the game) I think my BIOS are corrupt...any way to fix them?

[Delphi]

Ok pull the power out then after its out hit the power button on becuase your psu's caps still have juice in them so you have to get it pretty much empty. Then try it after... hopefully that fixes it.

I switched the pins and pulled out the PSU and tried to push the power button and let it sit for 10 mins to drain out any power. I then put the batteries on the 1-2 pins and now the monitor is having a hard time even coming on. Is it possible I have broke the board? I didn't try to flash the BIOS or anything I was just trying o OC the board to my old 965Pt settings...I'm going to replace my motherboard soon if I can't get it working....damn this blows because this board is really nice looking.

[Christiaan]

Why on earth would you put the battery on the 1-2 pins? What is the 1-2 pins anyway? lol

And, I don't see two batteries! O_o


Just... switch off PC, unplug your PSU. Pull out the battery or batteries as you claim. O_o Wait 10 minutes. Put batteries back in, plug in PSU, switch PC on. You are now CMOS cleared my friend.

And leave the pins alone!

Wewt wewt.

CMOS clear is easy... no need to remove that stupid battery... and where is that supposed 2nd battery?

Anyway flip PSU switch, move the jumper (CMOS Clear Jumper) from pins 1-2 to 2-3, wait till the green light on the board goes OUT, wait a few more seconds, then replace jumper, turn PSU back on and off you go.

If that doesn't solve you issue - CMOS clearing is not your issue.
Maybe it has something to do with your mysterious "2nd battery"?

POOK! If that's stable,
If it's not stable...
