ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Thread

Based upon what Asce has said, that means the guide I found is in contradiction. The question here then is, which is right or do they both give the same end result?

I believe your guide talks about allowing more total vcore/RAM/NB voltage while what Asce said allows you to lower the vdroop.

Hey guys. Long time no see. So I got my E2140 last week Friday.
By Sunday I had it humming along at 2.92GHz.

I ran into some trouble between 1100FSB and in the 1300FSB area. I was wondering if I hit my CPU's FSB wall I heard about or the mobo's FSB hole, but I took a chance and put it straight to 1400FSB. And voila. POSTed.

Currently running 1460FSB with my CPU @ 2.92GHz with 1.3v.(It's in the low 1.3xxv, can't remember the exact setting in BIOS, don't want to restart now to go look ) Orthos loads at 52 degrees on low fan speed on my Zalman. So I'm wondering how far I can still take it?

Can I realistically expect more from this CPU or am I pretty much near it's limit? I tried pushing past 1500FSB, but it won't post. So I'm not sure if I should keep going or not.

Hey, another few quick questions. About to overclock the e6300, as mentioned before my aim is at least 2.5-2.8, now since I am not familiar with over clocking, are those hertz possible without modding the voltage, just by bumping up the fsb to, say 350-400? If possible so, are those comfortable hertz without any other adjustments such as voltage mods (besides manual ram timings), or is it stressing smtn somewhere? Last question, is delta T significant for N & S poles (bridges ) with these hertz? Thanks for the patience and assistance...

Ok so today at work I am testing out my system for stability but so far it is sitting at about 45 minutes in orthos. 52-54 C per core and is overclocked to 3ghz from the stock 2Ghz. Voltage is set to 1.42 and drooping to 1.36 under load. I will try Asce's recommendation for the pencil mod now that Blizzie has made it clear which does what.

CPU = E4400
FSB = 1.2Ghz
Multi = 10
Volt = 1.42
Freq = 3.0 Ghz

Yay an hour stable!!

Also doing the resistor in my sig will help you achieve a lower stable vcore, since you dont need to have a high setting to achieve the OC.

Are there any risks with the pencil mod and is it a 2B pencil you need to use?

Can you undo the mod once you have done it? Any tips on how much graphite to put on the resistor?

EDIT: Looks like I can hit 3GHz with 1.45v (includes +100mV setting). With vdroop at full load it goes down to 1.39v ~ 1.38v so the pencil mod would help quite a bit if I did it providing there aren't any real risks to the motherboard or CPU.

Good question, I would like to find this out myself.

Yeah pretty sure a 2B pencil will work fine. And you can easily undo it, thats the advantages of a pencil mod, just shut it off, whipe off the graphite and the mod is gone. As for how much, you just have to go slow, it takes a few tries to gauge how much, depends on how heavy per stroke you put on / the pencil you use.
