Hey i got a question, the BIOS vers. that came with my p5n-e sli is 0401 and now theres a 0505 version out, would updating my BIOS help anything out really? Also, it says i have to use a floppy disk to update it ... yeah i don't have a floppy drive so, is there another way to flash it or? Thanks

i wouldn't touch the 0505 if i were you. i haven't heard anyone say it's helped with anything, and lots of people have run into problems that *might* have been because of it. In fact, I don't know of anyone who's using it.
__________________And yeah, you can use the ASUS Update utility on the MB driver CD, or (I think) you can use a thumb drive. and on another note, damn! i'm glad I bought this board. with those benchmarks i'll take the p5n-e for my money, thanks ;p

hey tribeca, whats the voltage of your 6400 running at 3.2? I can boot my system but it shuts off on full load, i need more voltage but i don't really know how much, i tried 1.35V but don't really want to go any higher, i'd love to get that final little bit so i can run 400fsb

Finally back up and running
Ok, I've been gone a few trying to resolve the slow benchies I've seen on the RAID 0 on my board. First off....Tried the install to one disk, then creating the RAID and ghost thing. Big waste of time.
Second....Did the install of drivers from the CD that came with the board- did not see a change...... 3rd.... installed the current driver set from nVidia's website on a fresh XP install, and WOW what a difference! I went from seeing 89mb/sec average and 107mb/sec burst speed to seeing 298mb/sec burst 110mb/sec average. Much, much better and what I'd expect to see on a RAID 0 setup. Finally- I was running Sandra to get a full system report and got a crash (at stock speeds no less). XP says it's a video driver problem, and the Sandra report corrolates- the data file ends abruptly during the video test. To top it off, when my rig rebooted, my secondary monitor was super dark. At first I thought it was the output from the card, but I swapped monitors and found that it was the monitor that fried  Real bummer.....I need the XL desktop to be an effective multitasker. Good thing I got a bonus check coming this month, Just wish I could have upgraded the RAM instead

As far as the bios, the only stuff I have heard bad about 0505 was "hearsay" on this thread, about other people having trouble.
I have been running 0505 since the day it was released, and no issues... But I also so no difference between 0401 and 0505, so just stay stock. Ravin- THAT SUCKS Sorry man. Glad my rig isn't as complicated, I don't need to deal with that mess Nevaziah - #1 I am placing the review in the first post of this thread. #2 Wow, did I pick one helluva board to "try out" and start a thread about... #3 REP+ for that link #4 Did I mention I love my P5N-E? **EDIT** Not only added it to the first page of this thread, but posted in the NEWS SECTION with credit where it is due!

LOLz buyer beware- of the Kopisaurus. lol. I don't think personal quotes would cut it for someone looking to buy it, the fact that this board is sticky'd makes it a
for anyone as it is. But I should add some more quotes from the reviews. Anyone want to tackle a COMPLETE in depth comparison, especially against 680i boards and SLI 8800s? If so, REP+ would be in order and I will add it to our first page

nice thread man! I just wish I had one of these boards! Oh well, I may go with a non SLI board, but that has 2 PCI16x slots, so I can get the optimized bios in order to enable SLI. For what reason? cause I might get board later on! lol.
