ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Thread

[kmo_9000]

hey i just got my hsf in and im ready to overclock this thing.

As you can see im running a Q6600, I have heard people having problems with quad cores but im just looking to get to at least 3 or maybe 3.2.

Can someone help me out here like what they have their settings at or link me to the overclocking guide for this mobo. This thread is huge.

Since Trib hasnt been around for some time, i will put the link into my sig as well to make it easier to get hold of.

to get your air bubbles out you should just turn off your rig and move it around a bunch (even turn it upside down if necessary) to get your air bubble to the t-line or res.

Woohoo I can quote now Thanks for this suggestion. Somebody at work mentioned putting my electric shaver up to the tube to see if the vibrations will break it I'll try that as well.

Btw, the radiator cap (diameter is about one of a quarter) is completely off, been running for a day and a half while exposed to the air in the room. Seems like the bubbles are smaller, but I'm impatient...want to break them now

i came home today, AND THE BUBBLE IS GONE!!! Leaving the cap off for the last two days helped!

How do I know when to replace it...even though I don't see any air, how can I be confident that the cap can be sealed again?

Now back to my system. Orthos ran for 10 hours today, 1.45V, 1466 FSB. Core temp showed 57C, and my fans for my watercooling were only at 30% speed

So this is an improvement. I'm gonna try now going up again. Who knows, perhaps the air bubbles were making my SB (which is also water cooled) overheat...I'll let you know how far I get. I'm making sure not to use the 100mV Vcore boost, and I am setting Vcore to fixed values.

As long as you don't have a bunch of air in your res I wouldn't think you would have to worry about introducing a new bubble, unless maybe you tip your system so air goes into the tubes.

I was actually thinking that. I probably introduced a lot of air when I was reapplying paste to the heatsink as I was moving the reservoir and case around a lot.

By the way, my results of load = 57C at 1466 FSB was at 1.625V, not 1.5V, so that makes me even more hopefully that I should be getting better temps now

nice. What waterblock and rad are you using?

I'm using the Koolance Exos-2 radiator (I think it sucks )

CPU waterblock is a Zalman
VGA waterblock is Thermaltake, specific for my 7950gt
SB waterblock is Koolance
HD waterblock is Koolance...there was no point buying this one

i had one of these Mobos. Some how i overclocked the CPU to 3.7ghz with my E6600
and raised the NB to 1.5v and i broke the motheboard. but it was good while it lasted
