ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Thread

[SHREDDER383]

ok on my p5n-e sli and e6420, ive got the multi at x8, the qfsb at 1500 or 375, my memory unlinked and set at 800mhz, so that gives me a clock of 3.0, which i can run super stable all day with the vcore at auto and the voltage for the northbridge and the memory bumped 1 notch i think, I cant get it passed the 3.0 mark and im starting to get frusterated, even if i bump the vcore to 1.4-1.45 i cant get it to break the 3.0 barrier, my system has all upgraded cooling and ive got tons of case air flow at my temps are really low, any advice or sugestions would be great, thanks guys and girl

Maybe your are reaching your FBS "hole": you are not able to use some FBS speeds but you can jump over and uses higer ones. Try to boot at 3.2 or 3.4 (Vcore 1.4 and NB 1.56 should be enough, then see if you can lower them).

Hope this makes sense.

Maybe try to up the multi and lower the FSB a bit. This will give you the same clock speed at a lower FSB... worth a shot.

thanks for the tips i will try them both and give you guys and girl an update when i can

Hi, i read almost all the pages on this thread and the other thread about OCING this mobo and certainly can't get a decent OC on my MOBO with a Q6600. Try with the pencil MOD, BIOS Changes between recent and oldies and nothing result.

One thing that is really annoy me a lot is the fact that for some reason I setup some values on the bios include the FSB but when the PC restarts the unique value that not change is the FSB it keep the same before i make the changes and the only OCING posibility is with the ASUS OC OPtion but only to 10% and the memory timings sucks so i been thinking on a Mobo change but i want to take a other round before with your help.

Excuse my bad English i read and understading a lot but the writing is more difficult yet. XD

Does somebody have a picture of the transistor that needs the pencil treatment I tried the link on the 3rd post and it won't load the page.

I have been running this motherboard for about 2 years and it's still going strong The funny part is...I am running a Q9300 which is not even on the supported CPU list from Asus. I actually bought it as a combo package.

Here it is in action!

Thanks for the help...I am going to try this.

How does that chip overclock on the P5N-E SLI ?

I have been running it at 2.73GHz for about a year rock solid. I have the multiplier maxed at 7.5 and the Bus speed at 365 = FSB of 1460.

I use "auto" for voltage on the CPU

The RAM gets unstable at anything over 800MHz. I got now 4GB G Skill and it runs great. I run my RAM at 730...linked to the bus speed.

To be honest...I have not even really tried to crank it up at all. I have never even messed with the CPU voltage, NB Voltage or really anything I did however lap my stock NB heatsink and apply AS5...also have a fan mounted for extra NB cooling. It's not even warm to the touch.

I work a lot and I am in the military so I'm always gone also. I keep it super stable for my wife when I am gone. I really don't need to overclock...it does everything I need it just fine. Plays games smooth as silk and folds well

Here is a CPUZ shot.
