ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Thread

[rasa123]

The disk needs to be made bootable... if its not, nothing'll happen.
You need to either back up the data thats on your flashdrive and do what Gauvenator said, or use the original P5N-E Sli CD-ROM to do a recovery.

I tried using the original cd that came with the board, but still nothing happened.

Ok, scratch that. The computer gods have decided to smile upon me because it just flashed the bios and it worked! Thanks for all of the help.

Try my guide and boot cd to install bios 0608.

Sup everyone I just got a new pc and I am interested in making the most of it.

I was able to clock it up to 2.8, but the motherboard starting hitting 45-47c. Not sure what to do about that just yet.

Also, confused about what voltages I should concern myself with mostly. I guess voltages is where I get lost on OC'ing.

Hi
I need some help with the boot CD for the p5n e sli.
I upgraded my bios yesterday to the 1301 from 0608 because of a few problems I was having that I thought was bios related.

With the 0608 bios I was able to run a fsb as high as 1920 or 480fsb, now with the 1301 I cant make it past 1800 or 450fsb.

Now the problem is I cant get the 0608 to flash back, tried using the asus update tool and via ezflash in the bios, I can flash to any other bios after the 0608, I just cant get 0608 to flash.

I have loaded your CD and at dos I typed AWDFLASH.EXE, AWDFLASH 0608.BIN and AWDFLASH, but nothing worked.

Could you explain what do I type at dos after I have loaded your CD, to flash me back to 0608 bios.

Thanks

Edit:

Well I booted of a USB pen drive into DOS and then I ran AWDFLASH and the 0608 bios, both of which I downloaded from asus today(why they have 0608 bios on there site , when it cant be installed I will never know) and still no go.Seems like I will never be able to flash back to the 0608 then(screenshot added).
I am still willing to give this CD a try.

Anybody who is on the 0608 bios(meant to be the best for quad core on this board) and thinking about flashing, you might not get back to the 0608.
I wish had of known this before I changed bios.
