ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Thread

[blackmaff]

Hi guys, I've been trawling through tutorials, and was wondering if anyone had tips on how I can get this system OC'd to it's potential As I'm so new, I've AI overclocked it to 20% and it's running fine, but last time I tried to OC it i managed to kill it and have to take it to a repair shop! So no callous fiddling from me anymore.

Unfortunatley, you have a combination of CPU and MB made in hell, and there isnt a lot you can do with it. It can go to 3 ghz max, and you have to have the 0608 release of BIOS from Asus ONLY! Click MrQs sig for details on how to do it. MY advice, invest in a new MB. I will soon

Thanks for the advice, will look into that now.

Not satisfied but it'll do..

Try the included one. Is that permenant too?

You're talking about the permanance of the attachment?
The tape would probably come off. My epoxy on the other hand....I would probably end up ripping the mosfet off if I needed to remove the heatsink.
-> mobo

Then stick with the tape that it comes with.
Your cooling probably costs more than the board now. =S

Ah yes I was looking at those, but even the Type 3 (smallest one 46mm) is too big. Wow that's half the usual price tho.
