ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Thread

Hey, I noticed there's an area and mounting holes for the voltage regulators next to the cpu, what heatsink will fit there?

I just installed the new BIOS, after my second boot up the computer wouldnt even show bios. The screen stayed black and would not boot up. I had to turn off my PSU at least 5 times and keep restarting it for BIOS to finally show up.

Anyone else have problems with the new drivers?

cpu multi > 9 is ignored and 9.5 is treated as 9.

10 is set back to 9 after a reboot.

Hey again, I'm currently using Prime95 25.6 build 6, and was wondering do I need to run two instances of Prime95 on my E6600? CoreTemp, SpeedFan,Windows Task Manager all say its already running at 100% load on both cores with small FFT test.

Can someone help me with OCing? I have a Celeron D 3.33GHz with a C1 stepping (dunno if that makes a difference) and i'm using the AI Overclock thing but I wanna get 4GHz, so how would I do this manually?

25.6 is multithreaded so no need to run multiple instances.

Bad choice for an overclocking processor.. but w/e

Hello Again.
I had my CPU OC'd to 2.84 GHZ comfortably. It was running stable for about 2 months.
So I decided i would try to get to 3.0 GHZ. I played about 2 hours of games with no problems. So before bed, I set ORTHOS to run overnight. When I wake up, it seems fine.
Orthos said it ran for about 6hrs,27minutes. Speed Fan was reporting the cores at about 53-55C. OK right ? Well nothing else would open. So a CRTL-ALT-DEL brought a BLUE SCREEN.

IT was a STOP ERROR 0x0000007e ( parameter1, par. 2, par. 3, par.4 ) !

It suggested Video Driver, Bios Updates , and Disabling Memory Caching and Shadowing.
I lowered the OC to 2.84 and rebooted just fine. My video driver are up to date ( 7/2008) and my MB BIOS is the same since installation ( 0505 ). I don't think I did anything with Memory Caching or Shadowing.

IS 3.0 to aggressive for this chipset ?

My specs are below. I hope this is enough information.

Thanks for reading !

What fsb are you running at? If it is near 1600 or above you may need to give the nb more voltage.
If not, just raise the vcore a notch.

i spent nearly a year trying to fing that out, gave up and used vram sinks in the end but i also noticed those and never found a sink to match the holes.
