for overclocking first you shoudl disable some items in bios.do you disable them ?
I think at the moment this two board use same bios.

you can use Stress Prime 2004 Orthos (Orthos) and blend test or prime 25.4 and blend test.

The P5N32-E 680i _IS_ a striker extreme minus some on-board reset buttons and a silly LCD in the back. ;-p

PersianOverClocker

yes thats true but at the first they had it's own bios and then after they find out about striker extreme bios problem they change the bios in a way that they both can use same bios.

Ok, Mine is:

Tcase = 32c Idle
Tjunction= 53-51-49-50 Idle...

The delta is more than 10c...but can be max to 25 you said??? I have the same everest as you do...

hi ppl . anyone get the last bios (1403) know if is the best bios for Quad ?

PersianOverClocker

yes it can be max up to 25c

If you are not using Intel 45nm cpu them 1203 will be the best bios for you (your cpu is not 45nm cpu )

I'm on 1403 using my Q6600 and the one significant thing I can note is that on my all-stock speeds that the ram timings went from 4-4-4-12 T2 (auto) to 5-5-5-18 T2 (auto) after upgrading the BIOS.

I haven't been benchmarking the machine yet so I don't know how that would have changed things comparatively. I'm still working on cooling solutions before I get into increasing the heat.

Right now I have my CPU Idling @ Room Ambient Temps with the cores only being about 15C warmer than that at any given moment. Under full load the offset shortens to only being about 10C higher than the CPU sensor...but still under 44C during loads. Not "prime" loads yet though, because like I said, I'm not benching anything yet.

PersianOverClocker

As I said before bios 1403 has some problem with memory timing and remembering them.
Also there is very big problem with 1403 .you can't restore to older bios version after you upgrade your bios to 1403 which I think is very important problem.At the moment bios 1203 is best bios if you don't have 45nm cpu on your system .

I need some help. I cant seem to get 3.2GHz stable (400x8). My voltages are:

Vcore 1.35
NB 1.45
SB 1.50
Vht 1.30
Vtt 1.55

Do I just need more Vcore? What is the most safe range to stay in?

I have active cooling on my NB and SB, I also took off the NB heatsink and put some silicone thermal paste on there and the temps are generally well under 40.

PersianOverClocker

you also need some headsink for MOSFETS .your cpu max vcore is 1.5 but I suggest you take 1.45 as max safe vcore for your cpu.also please note that more vcore = more cpu temp and you should watch your cpu temp carefully within the tests.

E6x20: Tcase Max 60c, B2 Stepping, Tjunction Max 85c, Vcore Default 1.3525, TDP 65w, Delta 15c

-Tcase/Tjunction-
