ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Thread

[ltrevo]

but some member in OCN can get it stable at 3.4

[eminded1]

i beg to differ. since the new relese of the 1403 bioes u can get the q6600 up to 3.40- 3.50, on the other hand. i like how there still reelseing update sfor this board. thanks asus/, And i dont like the vdroop mod becuase its not a perminat mod and it could wear off with a gust of stong winds.

[ltrevo]

so you mean pencil mod can erase by wind?

? I was lucky with my board (still have it in another comp) my vdroop is very small with a quad and none with my e6400 @ 3.0. The voltage regulation is the problem, this board is just weak. You might be able to get a 45nm chip up there because voltage and wattage requirements are so much lower. And I dont know what kind of wind you mobo is exposed to, but my mobo is in a case. Wind is not going to remove the graphite marking... please silence your self.

Finished pencil mod last night, works great, have no vdroop at all anymore dropped my vcore way down.
I was able to get cpu stable @ 1.29vcore(cpu-z) @ idle and load, bios vcore set to 1.0752v. This doesn't even seem possible... coretemp shows my cpu vid is 1.325v.

With stable vcore this low and good temps, I should be able to upgrade to bios 1403 and get 3.4ghz no problem.

When I bought this board I had an E6300, I oc'd it to 3.15 ghz. low temps and vcore, was a really good chip. This board is perfect for it.

I will be trying to get to 3.4ghz for my Q6600, if not I will buy a Gigabyte p45 ud3-p fot the quad and stick my c2d back in this mobo.
Did you do vdroopmod, or did you get lucky with you droop not being so bad??
I just finished vdroopmod, there is absalutely no droop right now.

No I never did it I just got lucky. I considered it, but I didnt think it would help.

Hey i was just wondering if anyone could tell me why my P5NE-SLI mobo will absolutely not post when i try to overclock my Q6600 quad core to more than 2.93ghz?
it is really annoying me because i know the chip can go much higher.
any help would be appreciated
