Eeek!

These are what I used instead:

i thought about that for all of about one second and then warranty issues flashed through my head.

These work great.

Hi, I recently upgraded my machine with this mobo and have been experiencing a few problems with it, at first i had a lot of problems with a lot of random shut-downs at stock when running any sort of game, even when installing FEAR it would just shutdown during the install. I think i got a bad board and RMAed the first board, but now for the second board i have i am now getting internet problems, i am unable to access a lot of websites, i can't even get into my hotmail account, pretty much anything with a sign in page i can't access. can someone please help me with this problem, thank you

Has anyone noticed the new Thermalright MOSFET coolers? Their site says that the P5N32E-SLI can fit 2 of them (I'm assuming). Do you think it would be worth investing in something that massive for the MOSFETs rather than something simpler and smaller?

Just thought I'd post this screen... I am still at a loss trying to figure out which is my SB temp on Speed Fan (or any other app) but there is no doubt about the NB.

This is after racking up hours and hours on the Artic Silver 'tween my TT and the CPU, and though I don't have a thermometer in my new keyboard it can't possibly be any cooler than 24C. If anything it is more like 25.

Notice the Core Temp and Speed Fan reads aren't too far off. Speed Fan oscillated between +2 and -1 degrees when I was paying attention.

Sweet looking! The Swiftech set I used works fine (And is probably cheaper) but I'd be tempted by the thermalright set if I had to start over. I wonder if there are any clearance issues though regarding large coolers like the thermalright ultra 120 or tuniq?

Core temp and speedfan use similar polling for cpu temps. The nb/sb is a mystery to me as well. I've used a thermal temp probe on them to actively test the temps. I'll load speedfan again and try it in comparision to physical measurement and we'll see if they match.

A couple of things. I assume you loaded the nvidia 680i chipset drivers from their site when you were building the system? Also, make certain to manually set the ram voltage to your ram specs as the auto voltage is usually too low and will cause instability issues.

If the problems persist, try throwing in a nic and disabling the nvidia ports to see if the problem is isolated to the onboard network cards.

Ok guys here it is... click on our picture and you'll get a windows media player with a small version of the HD clip of me switching out the MoBo

www.earthandfireentertain.com

This one is 160MB but I'll render a compressed (worse) version for those with slower www
I'd just click it and go have dinner or something, just come back to it.
Might be big but it plays ok on full screen.

yea, u r the second person that asks me that... why? what board do you think I have otherwise? Do you mean Striker? Cause that's what you get when you peel off the sticker.
