ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Thread

[Ned]

Hi, I went to speed fans website and was surprised to see that our MB is not listed as having a configuration available to download. Anyone have a nice speedfan config they want to upload to speedfan?

I tried once, but don't know how to edit the stuff. :/

Something weird guys. I went into my BIOS/CMOS (for the guys moaning about us saying BIOS) and I couldn't load any OC profiles. It says none found. I save it, and then try and load the one I just saved and it says it can't find it. I didn't update the BIOS or anything.

What's going on? :/

[TriBeCa]

had that happen to me once, after a bad OC that required resetting the BIOS with jumper+battery. for some reason, just that one time it lost the OC profiles as well.

that's why it's best to save them to a flash drive....

Hey Ned, i found this

It is a great program to monitor temps ,voltages, and fan control

To Configure the Program
Just compare temps to ASUS Probe
Click on configure and select the temperature tab if you click on a temp selection and press F2 you can rename it to anything you want CPU, MB core 1 core 2 HD 1
next go to the fan tab and do the same thing fan1 click press f2 and rename it front fan and so on.
go to the speed tab and check the fans you want to control and set the min and max value and check the Auto variated
Select the Advance Tab click the drop down arrow and select the lT8712F at $290 on ISA
This is a little tricky and may vary with different fans and cases. Most import is if you make changes here that work, make sure you check, remember this check box on the bottom for each selection

Temperture sensor diode 1 Themister
Temperture sensor diode 2 Themister
Temperture sensor diode 3 Themister
FAN1 divisor 8
FAN2 divisor 2
FAN3 divisor 2
PWM 1- 5 Software controlled
PWMOUT 3M
Temperture offset 1 -3 0
Fan1 mult 1
Fan1 div 1
Fan2 mult 1
Fan2 div 2
Fan3 mult 1
Fan4 div 2
Revere PWM 01 - 05 all off click ok
check automatic fan speed on the main page
and your pretty much done
You have to disable Q fan and Q chassis fan for this to work properly in the bios under hardware monitor
Pressing F1 while in the program brings up the help file for more options

Tip! Use the events tab to set alarms for Voltage drops or spikes and warnings for high CPU, MB and HD temps

Latest version is 4.33

Thanks cscheat!

You have no idea how long I've been looking at how to change those! F2, I would have never guessed.

Me too!
This morning I had speedfan open at the same time as Asus Probe and I was trying to do as cscheat said and use that to figure out which was which. I couldn't figure out how to change the labels though and as I was looking at the tabs I found the one to download a configuration and figured there must be one for this popular mb. Ironic that trying to find a configuration got the answer to what I was originally trying to find, that F2 allows you to relabel.

What is a recomended high temp for the alarms ?
Asus Probe seems pretty low on their alarm temps.

Hey guys !!!

i wanna ask which Bios is the best for our lovely Motherboard ? 1. 0401
2. 0505
3. 0608
4. 0703

Please advice !!!

[TriBeCa]

of those listed I think people have reported the most success with 0608. but i'm not 100% on that, that's just my impression from seeing what people are using.

Ok...here goes.
So after installing the Q6600 and dealing with the 7600gt death, I began having problems with hard drive corruption. First hal.dll, then nvatabus.sys, and finally failure for anything beyond the BIOS screen. This could be 1) impending HDD failure, 2)bad RAM, or 3)unknown hardware conflict.

RAM-Ballistix PC2/8000 Age:3mo, HDDs-2x WD800JD Caviar(se) Raid0 Age:2yr

I was leaning toward HDD failure due to a "click" occasionally heard from the HDD array. To eliminate the possibility of RAM failure memtest86 was ran continually for ~16hours without errors (4-3-3-6, 2T 1066MHz @ 2.17V).

I began to install seatools and during the process I got a reboot. At this point experience told me that perhaps some component may not be getting enough power. Into the BIOS and I found that the chipset voltage was set to AUTO- which I changed to 1.3xxV. After changing the chipset voltages the HDD "click" has not been heard, seatools installed, and disk diagnostic tools report no errors.

Could it be that the chipset voltage on AUTO was insufficient to read/write to HDD on the 1066 bus, and that as diagnostics report both my RAM and HDDs are fine? Is this an appropriate voltage for my chipset on the 1066bus?
