even if i disable that, it still reads 1.40-1.42 .. man if anyone can help out, id appreciate it so much. when i leave my settings at stock, the voltages read at 1.33v which is pretty high for 2.66ghz

hey there

I just saw someone running a Q9300 with this lovely motherboard...

which BIOS was that guy using? does it even run stable?

Just a quick question:

Will I have any problems running Patriot Extreme Performance 4GB (2 x 2GB) 800mhz RAM on my board (P5N-E SLi)? Its 2.2v with 4-4-4-12 timings.

Or should I go with the 2.0v 5-5-5-12 800mhz version?

There is only a $2 difference in price.

See specs below.

Damn a repost. Sorry. Firefox is acting up.

2.2v? That's a tad high.. Do you have links to both sets?

I was running these at 950MHz at 4.4.4.12 and 2.36v, for about 18 months on this board and didn't give me one problem.

I would go with the 4.4.4.12 at 2.2, tighter memory timings is better.

Hi to all!!!

I just upgraded to the GTX 260(192sp). For some reason when I open the 'Nvidia Control Panel' and click on 'System Information' in the lower left hand corner it shows my PCI Express bus speed @ 8x. I don't understand because I do not have SLI but only the GTX 260 as one primary card. Any suggestions on what I should do to bump it up to PCI-E 16x??? I'm experiencing some lag in 'Cryostasis'

Also, any suggestions on an easy overclock with my Q6600 like BIOS versions or any overclocking guides that's straightforward because I keep reading that a stock Q6600 will bottleneck the GTX 200 series cards.

THANKS!

Yes I am running a Q9300 on this motherboard. I am running BIOS 1301...have not tried the new one. I actually bought this as a package deal about 18 months ago. I did not even know the Q9300 was not on the CPU list from Asus until after about 6 months.

Runs super stable...does not over clock very well. Only been able to reach 3.0GHz and that was flaky to say the least. I can run it at 2.85GHz with rare issues. I have it clocked at 2.625GHz. Been running it here since winter with not a single issue.

It kinda upset me that I got sold a combo that "is not supposed to work" by TigerDirect. But it runs fine and does everything I need it to
