Roffel... As in ROFL...
I wouldn't call that an *OFFICIAL* World Record, it's HWBot.
But still sweet nonetheless.

Find me one that did better.

OK, so you have totally stolen the HWBot #1 Title. LoL.
I don't feel like looking it up, but I am sure there is some PIII on Phase gone crazy #'s lol.

>_>
I still got a #1 record. Lawlz.

And the 4th best OC on OCN counts for something.

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

I want one of them now.

My board won't even turn on anymore....dunno why but my other board works just fine. I guess i'll have to RMA this one...

hows it going guys- first post.

i built a new computer using a P5n-e a couple weeks ago. starting out, i had the 2 1gb sticks of GSkill HZ in the black slots because i had read that they were more stable than the yellow slots. i got thousands of errors running Memtest86+ in the first 10 seconds. i took out the stick in slot 4 and it ran Memtest fine. put the known working stick in slot 4 and got a million errors again. i ended up putting the sticks in slots 1 and 3 (yellow), and its been fine since.

im not sure i should RMA it or just leave them in 1 and 3. im not even sure if its a problem with the MB.

ZOMG. THIS BOARD MAKES ME WANNA SCREAM AND HUGGLE IT AT THE SAME DAMN TIME.

<.<
Get bored.
Put 2000FSB in, reboot, and obviously it won't boot.
Go back into BIOS, crank ALL the voltages (cept CPU), won't boot.
Go back into BIOS, crank ALL the voltages (cept CPU)again, boots.
I go all "OMG OMG OMG OMG."
Won't get past the Asus logo screen. Further than I ever got.

Go back into BIOS, crank CPU voltage to 1.6v (!!!) and holy ****, I get to my bootloader before it tells me that something is corrupt, can't boot.

What the hell? Why can I get so close and then can't go into Windoze?

What I don't get is that on my 965PT, I could tap 3.6Ghz at 1.39v, no problem. This board makes me do 1.6v, which I don't like, just to get to a (corrupted) bootloader.

Eh.
It boots better with 1.5v than 1.7v through the NB too.
This board just hates voltages.

If you ask me that board is very buggy...I somehow fried my board that was already having BIOS problems and I'm sending it back to the egg and getting a P6N just becuase I haven't heard as many problems with those and they are cheaper.

There are Open Box P6N's at the egg for 65 bucks...should I go for it? Anyone have any experiences with open box mobos at the egg?
