ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Thread

[dpawl31]

Well- I am one of those guys that stays as updated as can be.
Officially, ASUS says not to update to BIOS version unless you have an issue with an old one. I think that's crap. Why not have the best of the best?

Anyway, ASUS Update is available HERE.
Go to Utilities and look for Asus Update for your OS.

Some people will tell you Windows BIOS tools are junk, I have never had an issue. It even lets you change the startup image (remember it is 16color... convert a pic before hand because otherwise it converts it for you- looks like crap! lol)

Have fun

Ah-ha, found it. 0505, but it says "DOS", where as all the others say "All OS". Oh well, I have it for when I might need it.

I just ran memtest to see if maybe that's why I am getting Orthos errors now.


DAMNIT #!%*&

I hope I don't have to RMA my RAM I can't go without my PC!

If I have to, you think they'll let me upgrade?
I really want to go 2GB...

UGH!!!!

Still issues. Won't work with both sticks, either way.
I get Orthos rounding errors and memtest errors in test #5.

I can run 1 stick, either of them, w/o error.
This is so strange. I am going to try clearing CMOS and going back to 0202...
After I run my Orthos all night w/ 512 RAM running.

Going for Verified 3.7Ghz stable Lookin great so far, load temps not over 48C!
Only half hour in but...
I love this Antec 900

F(#% the RAM! lol. It's been great for so long, then causing random IE7 crashes and then reboots. My RAM is dying - but only in dual channel!?
That's why I am going to try 0202 again.

But after I prove stabilty of 3.7Ghz to the world

I'd like to see your update. You could try returning your ram and paying the difference for the 2gb kit, its worth a call yo ocz.

[dpawl31]

Already emailed them.

I'd like to see your update.

You referring to the 3.7Ghz verified?
Sweet. Someone actually interested in my PentD $96 chip running faster than the $350 chip

[Kopi]

haha 3.7ghz is a monsterous number, just because its not C2D doesnt mean its ****.

BTW my chip only cost 220

I also want to hear how the hole ram thing works out, both sticks work in slot one, correct? Have you tried running them in slot 3 seperately to see if the slot is toast?

[dpawl31]

Trust me, tried ALL combos. They work fine individually.
After Orthos all night, I'll try CMOS clear and go back to 0202.

That would be WIERD if it worked.
But sweet none the less.

I know your chip is $220, I was referring to the high end of the PentD line.

Here's me over 2 hours in...

[dpawl31]

Forgot to open speedfan
Temps in that pic were @ 45C w/ ambient @ 70F
How sweet is that.

[Kopi]

Those timings look kinda high man, im doing 4-4-4-10 at 850mhz, you could probably get them a little lower. Sick temps man, I'm so jealous..i want my cooler running >_>
I'm doing 3ghz now at 1.225 volts...6 hours orthos stable
