ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Thread

[cry.w07f]

I have an after market cpu HS/Fan: Masscool 8WA741

edit: Also i am running the 608 version of Bios.
And what i was looking for is a detailed explanation of HOW TO OC this mobo as i've never OC'd before.

[azcrazy]

i just got this board for cheap but i tried a PD920 , and i cant get it to work i see the fans and the green light on but no signal in my monitor ,i don't know what bios it has ,ram 2x1gb ballistix (the orange ones ) and i 8800 gts 640mb G80 , the psu is a cheap one but i have a 700watt OCZ modxtreme that i can put there if it works, any help will be appreciated

^i would use the better psu more than likly not enough power to the gpu

@cry your fsb is 800 on your cpu for 3.0ghz i dont know your multiplier but to overclock it up the fsb from 800 to 840 for a 5% overclock you may have to up your vcore too set memory to unlinked but its minor and shouldnt need you to up the vcore :-/

Interesting, did you have to modify the freezer 7 to make it fit with the thermaltake northbridge cooler?

Thats kinda strange. I got my q6600 at 3.2 with 1.3 vcore and 1.5 nb. Boot up first time and was stable with prime. I coudnt push it more cuse of my limitation for cpu cooling. As soon as I got some 1283 or true I am pushing it up on this board.

Why is your ram not suitable? Corsair Dominator should be ok with overclocking.

the highest Proven is 3.04ghz 24/7 stable until you can provide proof of it pointless bragging imo i couldnt get past 3.01ghz on my p5n-e.

new mobo ive had 3.4ghz but temps were too high and it failed after 6 hours of prime due to overheat
