ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Thread

[Scudd]

As i stated in my earlier post i have removed all my overclocks and am trying to install using stock speeds only.

, did u remeber to set your ram at its rates volt and timings, if u have it oin auto, the autop is bad on this board i recommend setting everyhting manally.
As for windows 7, i have the RC1 running and theres been no problems. and dam win 7 is faster than vista in gaming also.

I had this motherboard and selling it to my brother. While I had it, I OC'd it a few times and returned it to stock speed. My brother wishes to OC it but I could only explain how to OC by raising the FSB speed. My brother wants to know if he should link the FSB to the memory bus or leave it unlinked. And if you link it, do you have to change any timings for the Ram modules? The processor is an E8400 C2D and it's running XP professional. I have no idea what bios version it's running but I know I never updated it or flashed it since it was new one year ago.

The RAM is XMS2 Corsair PC26400 and the FSB stock speed is 1333Mhz.

FSB:dram can operate and could even be as fast as it would if u selected 5:4 3:2 1:1, but iv only ran unlinked when finding the highest CPU oc, always find the highest CPU oc then OC the ram, Remember to manaully set your ram also, i have your same ram, set it to 4,4,4,12,trc-22, volts 2.1 and run it at 800,
As far as ocing the e8400, jsut up the fsb about 1-2 hunderd increments at a time, test with linx
if it stable good, if not add more vcore!./might want to put up the nbcore also.
**** also, update the bios to the newest one, make sure u make a backup tho of yours and the new one, put it on a flashdrive. heck dl all the bios and put it on flashdrive. use ezflash in the bios menu, reason to backup is if anyhtig did happen. also rember to clear the bios,

i updated to 1402 and iv exprenced more stable OC.

I decided to replace my motherboard, i bought a Gigbyte GA-P35-DS4 and it seems to have sorted my problem. I can only guess it was the sata chipset afterall. Very happy with my new board. Im able to overclock to 3.3ghz which is a huge improvment over the 2.8ghz the p5ne-sli was giving me.

Is it a DDR3 board? I'm thinking of replacing mine so i can benefit from PCIe 2.0 and DDR3 speeds. I don't think it will make much of a difference though. Any thoughts?

[africandavid]

How much for that board?? I'm thinking of going for the GA-EP45-UD3P , 3.6Ghz OC with Q6600 G0 slacr and PCIe 2.0.

I got it for 90 pounds from scan.co.uk its no longer on the site must have got the last one. its a DDR2 board. DDR3 doesnt give any real speed boosts so DDR2 is fine for me.

[eminded1]

u can clock ddr2 to up to ddr3 speeds, ddr3=new mobo,= corei7=$$$$$$$$$$$$
