ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Thread

[TriBeCa]

the extreme spirit II fits with a TRUE, so I imagine it'll fit with your cooler

i give u rep ok

The Cooler Master Blue Ice works for the sb if you use the hs only. I recommend a thermal adhesive tho, as the included adhesive is not up to par. Arctic Alumina Epoxy is what I used. Just don't put a thick amount on other wise it will hit your gfx card.

And for the nb, the Thermalright HR-05 is a good choice. I'm not sure about clearance with the Freezer Pro, but it the Thermaltake spirit works I imagine the HR05 would work.

hey guys... my p5n-e died on me yesterday. I'm gonna RMA it, but I want a new board... this one's died on me one too many times (the replacement will be my 5th board in 14 months). If you've got any recommendations, please drop 'em on the thread I started.

Omg you are going to laugh, but me and my dad put my cpu cooler in the wrong way. I took it out and put it back in the proper way and my temps dropped down to mid 30's idling. Almost as embarrasing as that time I thought I broke my pc because it wouldn't turn on, when I realised I didn't plug my cpu power back in...

But anyway my temps have dropped a lot and I'm stress testing now, seems to be running around mid 40's under load.

Pics of my rig or pics of my temps?

Also, I'm probably going to buy this PSU: Zalman 600w Modular

This board is bad for running the new E7200 & E7300. I'm really annoyed that i have to wait for asus to release a new Bios before I can benefit from both my cores

Could any of you advise on this problem

[KHORR]

Thought I'd post a pic of my rig anyways



New CPU cooler in place with my LED's and 8800GT

What is the max QDR you can take this board to i have got it to QDR 1480mhz can i take it any more

but i run my system on 1400 QDR

[TriBeCa]

kopi had his over 1900, but most people can't achieve that. Unfortunately the chipset is full of holes in the 1600 to 1900 range, so there'll be some speeds in that range you can get and some you can't.
