Mr Pink57

I will get the other cooler later after I try this one. But I will proabably drop some AS5 on there while I wait anyways. Best time to do it is before I get it in there.

I'm thinking of getting the EnzoTech CNB-S1L for the Southbridge and either the CNB-S1 for the Northbridge or the Noctua NC-U6. I'm trying to get 500FSB 24/7 and maybe up the PCI speed to 133 from 100MHz - if possible. I'm looking for options that will not get in the way when I have a Sound Card and SLi.

Is it a good idea to place Ramsinks on Chips on the motherboard? If so, is/are there a certain chip/chips that I should place it on? I'm also thinking of putting a couple on my Sound Card and a few of them on random locations on my Asus P5N32-E.

To Asus P5N32-E nForce 680i ATX Intel Motherboard Owners:

Can you guys measure the size of the stock Northbridge and Southbridge coolers and give me the size in mm?

If you can go back and read from the post# 21 on maybe you like that cooler is the jing thing.
Now my up date[Robilar]I lowered the nb volts and is been stable 8 hrs and running,also i lowered the fsb to 1410 x 10 multy from 1420 x 10 multy and lowered the volts from 1.581 to 1.575 .What you think?Oh and increase the memory @ 1000 in bios.

Excellent. I had a great deal of success with my E6700 at 10x when I first got the board. 8 hours stable is fantastic. You can pretty much run it 24/7 after a test like that.

Robilar

Depends on the chip. I hit 500 FSB with two different chips but the chips that seem the best for the high fsb are the ones with the lowest multi (as high multi chips like the E6700 run better at 10x anyhow).

Regarding the nb/sb measurements, what exactly do you need? All of the chipset coolers on the market fit into the standard chipset mounting holes. The issue you need to address is clearance to video and sound cards in the area.

I personally have no heatsinks on any of the chips except the VRMs around the cpu area that were uncovered when I removed the heatpipes. None of the other chips get hot enough to warrant a ram or chipset cooler.

Stop @ 10 hrsstable.Maybe can go a little higher/lol.
Really this type of chip the ES need some volts.I notice that with lower nb volts is more stable.Weird.

Hey,

Quote:
"This board likes clean power with very little ripple. I had some issues with a Silverstone Zeus 750W that worked but was unstable. A change to a much more stable Enermax resolved instability issues with the board immediately."

I have this PSU on its way.

How much of an issue was this PSU, could you please go into more detail about the problems you had.

Thanks

P.S.
I have found you posts very helpful.
Keep up the good work

Robilar

I have found that when I measured the power supply fluctuation with the pc probe graph, it bounced and spiked a fair bit. I had some bsods in conjunction with the spikes. Simple correlation.

I returned the 750W Silverstone Zeus assuming it was defective adn got the 850W version. It was DOA. Returned it and got the Enermax, problems were solved.

The distributor I deal with in the main reseller of Silverstone in Canada. He indicated that they had received numerous Zeus models back for RMA in the last 6 months and were no longer ordering new ones. He also mentioned that the Silverstone rep had indicated that they were discontinuing the Zeus line (although the rep wouldn't say as to why). The distributor and I came to the conclusion that there are issues with the Zeus line (or maybe just the most recent product runs).

With that said, the other lines of Silverstone product don't seem to be suffering the same problems and you may still end up with a good one.

With respect to this board, it is very sensitive to ripple and spike.

mine burned out on me on the same day i got my 8800gts640.i didnt wanna wait for rma so i bought a p5b to hold me over.still need to rma it tho.solid board b4 that happened

Just wondering, but does anybody know where the mobo temp sensor is at on this board?
