ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Thread

[davidisflash]

omg i am retarded...that is NOT dual channel mode I changed my DIMMs, they are now in the yellow slots...now my bandwidth went from like 40 to 52.78...no more complaints

Do you guys prefer yellow or black slots as far as stability, overclockability, etc....it seems like in my case, it wont make a difference

2x2gb Gskill DDR2 800
Asus 8800gt
Seagate barracuda 7200 250gb sata
Lite on 20x DVD sata
Vista64

I Had trouble installing Vista64 it would get to the first load and blue screen on me.. I read somewhere to manually add the ram timings and voltage, after doing so I was able to load Vista. On the down side I still get random blue screens and from what I read and am guessing it might be an incompatibility with the ram..

anyone running this ram? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231122

could someone let me know what the best setting in the bios I should be running this at?? there are alot of pages here kinda mind boggling..


thanks for your input..

I am running Orthos on the system at stock settings right now im at 3.5hrs with no faults, wonder if something else in my system might not be stable.. hmm..

@russ

up your nb volts and try again

@ori

unlink your ram and set it to stock timings and voltage and just work you cpu for now.

I upped nb to 1.594 or woteva it is and put my memory timings on auto for now, so far so good, been running for 5 mins, no probs

[hometoast]

@russ, I actually had to underclock my HZs to 667 to get all 4 stick to run.

[russbelluk]

i looked in everest to see wot my timings were set to and they were 5-4-4-17 2T, so i set them in my bios to them, play the sims 2 for a couple of hrs with no problems, could u say that this has sorted the problem out???? cuz iof so, then i need to cancel the rma request on them

If you have a B3 revision your max CPU temp is 60C. If its a G0 your max is 70C. Max "safe" vCore defined by intel is 1.5V Somewhere near 3.2Ghz the stability response vs. vCore changes for the Q6600, and significantly more voltages may need applied......ie. @3.15GHz you may need 1.3V, but at 3.16GHz you may need 1.42V. Keep this in mind.

Also keep in mind that 3.0GHz is somewhat of an unofficial record for a quads on the P5NE-SLI, I have not found anyone who has gone higher, and few who got that high. You're heading into uncharted territory

edit: ..

gotta RMA my board... Hope i can still work this out with newegg.com

Hi, thanks for the suggestions but it seems even worse now. When I set the memory settings to default and unlinked it, I could not boot many of the setting from before or had BSD. I then set my memory back to the way it was before and it was a bit better.

I used to be able to boot 1200FSB on all the default settings, now it's unstable with the memory lock off. Anything less than about 1412 FSB, won't boot. 1418,1412 booted but failed within a few minutes of running OCCT and prime 95. 1415 FSB gave me a BSD and rebooted.

So can anyone else give me advice on settings etc. Is my V core to high? What about my NB core? My setting are in my first post.

Does anyone have the Q6600 that can post there setting for me to try. No more than 3.2 though. Intel don't seem to make it easy to OC
