That's the newer revision right? The other one is L2.

Will have to wait and see.

So, I've decided I wanna get a bit more performance, F@H its taking 14 min / % @ 3.2ghz, My load temperatures is 42C max SMP folding, and my voltage droops down to 1.36V (bios @ 1.42V) so I'm thinking I'm gonna vmod the board over christmas break and try and get a bit more power out of it.

wondering though,

is this a decent multimeter? no where near me seems to have a decent multimeter thats not ridiculously overpriced.

Edit: Sometimes it drops down to 1.344V ... thats almost a 0.8V droop!!!

Hi all.

WoW What a thread!

I have had a P5N-E-SLI for almost a year now, the only overclocking I've done is the 10% AI option in BIOS. I am going to be selling that board, which has an e6600 with the stock cooler, in system for my landlord

I've ordered another P5N-E-SLI and a C2D 6850. If anyone has any info or links I would appreciate it.

Thanks. Lots of good info in this monster thread.

Just installed my E2140.

It's a M0 revision, stepping D.
This is the fastest FSB I've ever had. 800FSB on stock. My PD overclocked got to a mere 700FSB.

Gonna start clocking now, will let you guys know how far I've gotten later. Cheerio.

Well I read your other post, first thing is, take that Vcore off of auto, try setting it to 1.30V, and turn the voltage offset to +100mV (I think thats what its called at least, its in the same menu as the Vcore), also try bumping the NB voltage up to the 1.5xV option, that should let you go a bit farther.

I'll tell you right now, this board sucks badly for overclocking quads so you might not get too much more out of it unfortunately, very few people have had success so far with a quad.

How do I take the stock northbridge heatsink off without breaking the mobo or the black clips?

Just trying to be careful.
