ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Thread

[Gauvenator]

I'm just wondering, for my current 2.8GHz OC I am running at stock vcore of 1.325v. Is it better to run at 1.225v and enable the +100mV option in the BIOS?

Also, which BIOS version is the best? I'm still using 0401 which allows me to change the CPU multi. I know 0602 didn't allow me to change the CPU multi but do the latest versions let you?

I'm getting mid to lower 40's idle, depending on the ambients, at 395fsb.

I'm definitely considering that HR-05 SLI for my nb....is it small enough that if it's rotated towards graphics card slot one, it doesn't touch the back of it?

With the q6600 I am able to achieve Higher clocks with Linked RAM FSB, any reason why? If FSB is not linked, I get a freeze on POST. Ive got it up to 2.88GHz stable (On latest BIOS). 48c ~ 50c Idle (Under water) About 60 Flat with Orthos x 2.... May have to reseat the water block, or its really this hot....

Are you putting them in 2 slots close to each other, or spacing them out? If you are spacing them out, try putting them right next to each other. Or just try some other combos. I had this problem at first. My old mobo didnt care, but this one seems to.

(Dont mind my system specs, im in the process of RMAing my P5N-E for bad memory slots, 2 of which i never used)

Okay thanks lude i will test that out.
Do u know if 3x1gb of this transcend shuold work on this motherboard or is it limited?

[cscheat]

guys... time to leave this board....
finally decided to sell this board and buy ABit which is flawless in Quad Core Overclocking...

Wish u all here all the best in future of P5N-E SLI overclocking

Put in two sticks and run memtest86 for three rounds and see if they error. I find that BIOS version 0608 is the most stable.

ok but i havent figured out how the memtest86 works cause as i understood it requires floppy disk and i got only cdroms

You need to download the ISO, and burn the image to a CD.

MAKE SURE YOU DON'T JUST COPY IT TO A CD. There is a special way to do it....what program are you using?
