ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Thread

[JCushing]

dude this board is notorious for wanting memory timings set manually. G.Skill posted confirmed memory timings for the p5n-e here http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...play.php?f=189

OCZ has a forum there too, try asking there or do some digging.

jime, im pretty sure your gonna want more voltage to go any higher. if your set on trying more speed try setting voltage to auto, mine will go up to 1.4 on auto. your not gonna get great gains out of it though unless you OC that ram. personally id leave it were it is, its pretty fast for its clock. i get 22-23 seconds for PI at 2.4ghz with 800mhz ram with my 4300 (only 1066fsb though thats why the 4300s are slower per clock)

Yeah, thanks. I had actually found some discussion of that over on AnandTech. I'm 20 minutes into orthos now, which is personal record. I've got them manually set to 4-4-4-15, and everything else is on auto. I'd had it set to 5-5-5-15 which I'd thought would be a little more generous, but the board didn't seem to like it.

If this is stable for an hour I'll try to get windows updated, then move onto fiddling with my FSB. I'd like to get the FSB up to 1600 for 1:1, and then try to go 2000/1000, though with the way the RAM's behaving I suspect getting it up that high is gonna drive me nuts.

Anyone had success getting 800 RAM up to 1000 on this board?

all voltages are auto, and i bumped it up further today, oc'd the ram

FSB is at 350 (still going to push further) making the ram at ~700MHz, and making the cpu (x7 multiplier) 2.45GHz. ran orthos for 30minutes, ran fine and fully stable. i tried a fsb of 400 before attempting the 350 but it crapped out due to the ram. so i left it at 350. idle 47degrees, 55 full load

ill post a ss when i get home (did this quickly on my way out for university).

gonna try and get past my previous cap (362 without a 1:1 fsb: dram ratio. orthos stable but i want to sustain 1:1 ratio so i scrapped it)

EDIT: this is gonna be a fun day :evil: i found confirmation that i can oc my ram to DDR1000 easily with a MANUAL voltage increase. and even better, confirmation from a Corsair official with warranty assurance.

going to bump this sucker up to 3.0Ghz when i get home and work from there

i would try and max out your memory first, set it to 2.08 or 2.178 (whatever your most comfortable with since there is no 2.1v avalible) and then see how high you can go with the memory at stock cpu speeds. usually memory is the limmiting factor in a 6300 OC so that will pretty much tell you how far you can go.

[JCushing]

btw i flashed to 505 in windows today (i got the same downgrade message you guys all got in the EZ flash) and so far so good. i havent tried overclocking yet though so only time will tell.

[Icarusmk2]

What's the best overclock anyone has done on this motherboard and an e4300?

Mine maxed out at 3.2Ghz @ 400 x 8 (Pi in 18 secs) [stock cooler and auto voltages] (Been running like this for like 2 weeks now)

I'm wondering what other sorts of things I can try to stabilize the system at higher FSB, since when i tried to go to 410, it stalled on me even before reaching Win XP.

[jim.e.]

memory capped at 725MHz, cannot get it higher regardless voltage use...

also. for some reason now i cant set my fsb(qdr) past 362.5(1500) (cpu clock of 2.62GHz), system will post but windows will not boot.

2.53Ghz is enough for me now...time to poke around and see how people with the same ram managed to bump it higher.

Make sure you set your RAM to 2T while overclocking, rule out the 1T issues.

Please go to User CP --> Edit System so we can see what you are working with. Sounds good so far

Please keep us up to date... my RAM is being a be-hotch in EVERY BIOS now.
I think it may end up RMA, but it doesn't make sense.
