Yess is easy but maybe you want some help.For hold the mobo for you to remove the plastic little thing that hold the cooler and the pipes.
Hey robilar now im testing this.You know I have hit 2 differents settings and over 20 hrs stable.Now working in the x 10 multy.And differents speeds.Now like you said and we all know need some time to find the best set and settings for you.As long no all the systems are equal.

Damn nice. I was the first guy on this forum to get the board back when everyone was jumping on the EVGA board (ok I had one of those too). Its proving to be a better overclocker than any of the other 680i boards.


Alex, the 10x multi should be really stable.

Now we all need SLI'd 8800gtx!

The pipes are a piece of cake to remove

Those settings were tested with 7x500, 9x400, and 10x360. They also work with 13x266. I'm currently testing 13x300 (3.9!). It boots into windows fine and runs windows at idle without issue but its hovering at close to 68C. I had to bump vcore up to 1.5 though. Obviously orthos at this setting is out of the question.

I have had some success with using the thread starters excelllent guide, much appreciated as I'm a newcomer to this.

Here are some screenshots from my experimenting.
The 2007 version is unfortunately in german but i know what it says by looking at the earlier version.

One quick question, Everest reports my GPU (8800GTS 640b) being 63-68 degrees C ,is this hot????

Nice work. 3.375 on a 2.4 Ghz processor is excellent. You will be able to go farther on that chip (Depending on cooling type, up to 3.6 is feasible) ! A couple of things.

Try to stay at the 9x multi rather than the 7x. You will get faster benches. You may eventually need to bump vcore higher to keep it stable (up to 1.55 is still safe). What kind of cpu cooling are you using?

Also the temps you indicated for your gts are fine. Mine runs in the 60's all the time. They run hot as a rule, especially if you overclock them or have poor airflow in the gpu area.

Also, you should upgrade to 0903 bios as the 0902 despite being stable is still a beta. I have tested 0903 thoroughly and it seems that you need slightly less vcore for similar overclocks.

For your ram, I would try running it unlinked, set timings to 4-4-4-12 and 1T. If that works try 4-4-4-8 1T (it might not work that tight due to it being PC2-5400 667 Mhz RAM.

Hope that helps.

Nice guide Robilar, but I have to disagree with one setting.

You specify that people should max out the CPU VTT at 1.55. Anything over 1.5 without proper cooling, specifically water/phase/TEC, is asking for trouble. I would recommend a lower setting and watch temps and go from there.

Sorry to correct you but on the 680i boards, CPU VTT has absolutely zero effect on cpu temperatures.

Also, it is more important than vcore for stabilizing overclocks.

I verified this when I first got the board, all settings at stock, max VTT (1.55), run orthos for 1 hour record temps. Do it again this time with VTT at auto (around 1.2), orthos again. Temps were identical.

It does something else unrelated to vcore .

The other P5N32-E owners I've talked with at Xtreme concur on this as well.
