I ran 485fsb for about 6 months...3.4ghz on an e6300

VID 1.3000 , I've up vcore to 1.35 / nb 1.39, but still get same results at 1.4vcore (but i dont think i need to be this high @2.8ghz do I?) set mem to 2.17v also. sorry very new at this.

I need 1.56v on my NB to get to 400 FSB. Probably you do too.... Just make sure you've reseated the stock cooler with AS5, as the stock TIM is garbage. As long as you've done that the chipset should be fine at those volts. I'm guessing that's your issue....

You and Teabag both might find it worthwhile to do some FSB overclocking to find the hole(s) in your board. Basically you just set your volts to the max you're willing to tolerate, turn down the CPU multi to 6x, and try different FSB's and see what can post. You can find more details in the P5N-E OCing guide in my sig.

that's cause kopi is the leetsauce. I would be very surprised if anyone here has run anything higher than that for long.

Anyone else found that if you take the board out, it randomly wont post anymore? Or any POST advice?

I want to buy a new heatsink for my northbridge, thinking of getting a thermaltake extreme spirit.

I have a artic cooling freezer pro cooling my cpu, has anyone tried to use these two on the p5n-e as im worried they might not fit in together.

Ok, here are my benchies at 460FSB 1:1. I can't seem to get stable any higher. I'm pretty sure it's my RAM holding me back... maybe some time in the next couple weeks I'll bring a pair of my dominators in from home and see if I can't push the chip further with them in.

*EDIT* -- After posting these benchies I did test stable with these settings, see here. The screeny looks funny 'cause I took it over a VNC connection--I wasn't able to be physically present to shut down the stress test. */EDIT*

(For those of you who haven't been following, this isn't on my sig rig.)

I'm not including Everest benches because I don't have the version you have to pay for... just the ancient version that was free, that's basically useless now.

I also haven't included the sandra hard disk benches, because my RAID array is currently checking for errors, which is destroying my usual read/write performance. I'll put those up in a couple days.

Hey guys I'm a first time builder and I chose this board, I believe i'm having memory issues and I wanted to know if I could use this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820146560 as far as compatibility goes, if theres anything I can do to make this work or if possible you guys could recommend me something that'll work.

I'll keep reading this thread but in the meantime can someone post up any solutions?

Before you buy new stuff, make sure you enter your memory timings and voltage manually in the bios for stability. Then test with Memtest86 (bootable version) for a several hours to make sure it is a memory problem.

What memory are you using currently?

I'm using this right now http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820146560

should I update the bios?


edit: heres what happens, computer boots up, posts, begins to load windows, after it loads windows it blue screens or quickly flashes a bluescreen and either shows a black screen, or reboots.

Don't update the bios yet. What version are you currently running?

Make sure you enter your timings manually, and try setting the vdimm to 2.2v as that is what those sticks are designed for.

Alright what I did was I set the timings to 4-4-4-12 (the first 4 options in the menu im assuming) and set the memory voltage to 2.25, no luck so far.
