ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Thread

[stumped]

Ok, I'm having a few problems with my setup.
I have 2x1GB Crucial Ballistix (non tracers) and even at stock settings, they fail orthos. I've overclocked my e2180 to 3GHz with a 3:2 divider to keep my ram at stock. Even then they fail. So I tried upping voltage from 2.17 to 2.5 (that's the only increment I could do) and it still failed. I have now adjusted from 4-4-4-12-2T to 5-5-5-15-1T to see if that helps at all (before, when I changed to 5-5-5-15-2T, it still failed at both voltages)

If any one could help me here, that would be appreciated!
Oh yeah, I had them in the 2 yellow slots at first, then heard to move them to the black slots. Now they fail even faster!


EDIT: They fail orthos ram stress after 6 hours at STOCK!

with out going into a long drawn out explenation... No they are not the same. The Bios contains different settings. Second, i just got mine a day or so ago (i think i mentioned i was getting one a couple of pages back). I am gonna give my mom this board...

I need help. I try to overclock my e6750 on my P5N-E board and it simply won't do it. I've tried lowering the voltage and upping the fsb a little, upping the voltage a little bit, nothing works. I set all the settings and boot up, then run CPU-Z and no changes are made. It's like my changes just aren't recognized. Also, my computer only boots up about 1 out of every 3 or 4 times. HELP

I have 4 gigs of Geil memory btw.

Hello people, have some issues with a friends computer. He is out of state and is running a P5N-e sli with an intel E6850, and XP Pro. Solved most of his troubles after a few days of nit picking and the latest bios update.

He is getting 4 system beeps near startup AND while the computer is up and running every so often. I thought it might be a temperature warning, but his temps are good. Stressed with orthos just to make sure.

I am not familiar with his bios and over the phone it gets tedious. Does anyone know what these beeps are? I didn't find much about beep codes in this thread or any other thread for that matter.

Also, anyone have a quick guide to set his bios up fast and efficiently... He is not overclocking, not using raid. Has 3 SATA hard drives, 2X8800gt's in SLI. After his bios upgrade, everything went to defaults and these beeps started happening.

There is stuff in there like LDT X5 for SLI, and I am not familiar with sli settings at all.

However, it's the beeps that are the main concern right now. What's causing this?

You need to change setting from auto to manual, turn off speed step and the thermal throttle.

There are some BIOS differences that my be useful for the Quad, and the Maximus has Dual LAN ports. Lol, yea, I need a new GPU. I'm waiting on Stanford to get their GPU folding updated before I decide on which card.

I got the non-SE. The only SE I could find was open box from the egg. The only differene between SE and non-SE is the "fusion" NB H2O block. Since I don't plan on H2O in my box I went with the non-SE.

I love my P5NE, and if I was not able to sell it with a few other bits I'd be sticking with the P5NE too. TBH it is a real toss up between ASUS and DFI. Gigabyte came in a solit 3rd followed by Foxconn(4th) and Abit(last). The ASUS won due to the packaged sound card.

Anyone with $0.02 chime in on this one....

I did this, and still nothing will change. All my changes show up in the BIOS, but won't show up on CPU-z. I have the latest version of CPU-z.

You set your ram timings manually to stock right?

LDT turned down?

Whats his PSU?

He can try the Pencil Mod.

Different BIOS?

Said a mil times in that thread, but he might need 1.45-1.46

Did he try Pook's min memory volt trick?

Just my
