ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Thread

[JCushing]

good call on the 900, its a great case. i got mine at comp usa for $105 with a $25 MIR.

with all the fans on low it runs real cool and its basically silent. i would advise on running the side vga cooling fan as it blows on the NB HS as well as the VGA card.

just becarefull with the PS, if you have an older one the MB cables might not reach the 6 pin 12v connector. its on the very top of the MB on the p5n-e

Does that make sense?

Edit: In other words the 1/1 setting quad pumps your RAM, which is not good...

Thanks man! I was wondering how to "get around" that. I was looking at that sync mode, but the friggen asus manual, for all intents and purposes, SUCKS! lol. Rep for you mane.

Anyone have problems running this board with OCz Ram?

[Digikid]

If you would PLEASE read the other posts you will see that there are LOADS of OCZ owners that are working perfectly with this board.

I just noticed that my O/C freezes on the CPU tests in 3DMARK06 110. What can I do to fix this?

MY PSU is really new. The cables are damn long, in fact some reviews of my PSU say too long. Also, it is not modular and I have 4 SATA power and 2 PCIE power I cant use So thank god for the PSU mounting @ the bottom in the 900 because I was sick of seeing all the cables smashed up top.



32Oz, great job with the guide, I just never got around to it. REP+
And yeah, sync is for true 1:1, as I said a few pages back the linked mode links your total quad pumped CPU and dual RAM so your FSB at say 300 would be 1200 really, which if you linked it your RAM would be DDR2-1200 or 600Mhz, which is not easy to do with DDR2-800 RAM lol.
It will always keep a 1:2 divider because from the base values of FSB and RAM, the FSB is quad pumped and the ram speed is doubled.

Have you run Orthos to test stability?
If not, do that. I would say you aren't stable.

You may have to bump up NB or vcore.

The only thing i could think of would be instability

OMG MY MOBOS HERE (and PSU) ...they had no 600watts so got the 700watt for price of 600watt yayaaa

@Kopi
-good choice on the PSU, thats one hella STABLE @$$ PSU, i have the 600w model, and look @ my rig, it keeps everything up to par with my system.
let us kno how ur OC goes, the e6300 should be hell-of-a clocker...the new 805 supposedly.
heh, good luck!
D~

[Digikid]

Awesomeness to the max!!!!

I have a Enermax Noisetaker 2 650W PSU. Got it for Christmas last year.

Well i ran Orthos for a hour perfectly so I am happy now.

[Kopi]

I wanted the 600 but hey, like i said im not going to complain about a free upgrade. Got it running, installing some stuff and uploading pictures now...DAAAAMN this thing is fast, great looking mobo and no ram problems at all..glad to see that so many people agree with my choices, makes me feel toasty. About to run some benches n stuff i'll let you guys know how it goes
