ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Thread

[Nixer]

Just getting started on this today. Just played with the FSB so far and set Vcore at 1.42 volts. I can't go over 1592 FSB or it won't post. Memory is down around 766 right now. Ran 16m Super Pi fine and 3dMark 06 over 13,000.

Do ya'll think 4Ghz is possible on air 24/7? If so any suggestions on how to get there would be much appreciated.

What's the highest FSB anybody has gotten?

I think some people have managed over 2000 fsb with this board.

I suggest you jump to something like 1650 because there is a hole around 1600fsb.

My RAM just arrived, 4x1GB a-data extreme. Now my ? is when you have more ram is it better to work on teh timings or the Mhz. ie. I set my timings to 4-4-4-12 2T and plan to do 1:1 FBS of 380 so roughly 760mhz. Or should I do 5-5-5-18 2T and 800Mhz; keep in mind amount of ram. Thanks ahead for any tips

It seems my FSB hole is from >1600 all the way to 1722 mhz.

3.8 Ghz semi-stable. 1.48 vCore and 1.5v NB. Boots into Wndows. I can run Super Pi but the temps get into high 50's C. Orthos won't run.


1:1 Ratio, multiplier at stock 9.
I now have it Orthos stable a 3.6 Ghz. 1.44vCore. I think that is my magic number so far. Anything over 1600 FSB up until 1720 mhz and I get errors. Too much Voltage needed above 1720 and it starts pushin 70C under full load.

I just tried 3.15GHz with 1.475v CPU vcore and 1.56v for NB and as soon as I started Orthos my PC reboot. My CPU must be very vcore hungry

My RAM is 667MHz stock but it can be OC'd to 800MHz with no problem and with 3.15GHz it was linked with the FSB so it was OC'd to 700MHz which is I know is a stable OC for the RAM.

A-DATA Vitesta Extreme (2x1GB) doesn't do well on this board, frequent BSOD while in-game and basic application use. Tried various settings, nothing. Will be getting G.Skill ones from the list someone posted in 2nd post I think.

I just bought some G.Skill.....DOA. I put my old Kingston in a works great. FWIW.

I bought some G.Skill ram too, and I THOUGHT it was DOA. - I updated my bios and wham, Ram woks like a charm. To date, I have never got anything DOA - I think most of the time it's due to the user. And for some reason, people on Newegg like to review items when they are DOA... which serves no point really, just a waste of Feedback.

Try updating your bios to the latest or at least up to 0701 (Asus comments that this BIOS version solved issues with a "certain" Memory Module, most likely G.Skill)

Read my sig and see if the ram model is similar.

Dang it.. I can't get the pencil mod right. Voltage is either too low or too high. I can never get it right.

I just stopped and gave up after an hour of trying.

Small FFT on Orthos makes me vcore of 1.443 go to 1.36.. Awesome. 0.08 vdroop.

Edit: Okay something is wrong now.. SuperPiMod freezes when I run 1M. Reverted back to stock settings and it still freezes up. Downloaded a fresh copy, still no go. Think I should run a memtest.

Hello and Happy Holidays everyone!!!

I'm new here so just introducing myself. I just changed my memory from Corsair Value Select 667 to Crucial Ballistix Tracer 800 and they are just a thing of beauty. Better memory performance with the moving LED lights a bonus for the eyes. Too bad my casing's side panel has no acrylic window yet (will have it modded early next year).

Anyway, I will ask questions on my next posts and I'm hoping some of you guys would be kind enough to answer them.

Thanks.
