2. Is it normal for an E6300 to top out with 1.4v? I can't get this bad boy past 3.42GHz to save my life. I just thought it strange being as I was under the impression you could push it further. The second screen is a picture of my current setup so if you see something I am missing let me know. Thanks!

You do realise 3.4 is pretty good on that chip?

What version of ntune are you using? the 5.05 works but the newest revision from last month does not.

The ram and vcore matches the bios exactly.

For some reason the new ntune doesn;t work worth a damn with this board.

excellent thread you got going here. IF I decide on this mobo I will DEFINATELY come here.

It fits, I haven't done temp tests yet.

Hi everyone,
I've been thinking about an all-Thermalright cooling on the P5N32-e SLI. I'm talking about using only the TR heatsinks and everywhere!

After some serious research I've come up with the design below. In the picture everything is to scale. The heatsinks I used are:

1x Ultra120 Extreme for the CPU (green)
1x HR-03 Plus for 8800GTX (green)
2x HR-05 SLI for NB and SB (red)
1x HR-09-S for upper mosfet (red)
1x HR-09-U for left mosfet (red)

Everything is flush but with reasonable placement. Observe the 92x38 fan that pulls from the NB heatsink and blows on the VGA cooler. It's like a miracle how they fit so snug

I'm thinking about a low noise fan there, not a Vantec!

I would really like to have your opinions on this design. Do you think it's a good layout? Would the airflow be sufficient? One thing for sure, cable management will be like hell

I'm waiting for your comments. Thanks!

I think that Thermalright should pay you commision for that...you are a walking, talking advertisement for them. LOL!!!!!!

Nice chart.

I can't determine from the chart but I assume you are going to use the bottom pci-e slot for your graphics solution as you can't use the middle one.

Your layout prevents you from adding a second card for sli. As much as I like and advocate this board, The asus p5b premium, asus commando, and asus p5b plus all get better overclocks than my board does. If you are not intending to go sli, get the asus p5b plus (I picked one up friday for another system in my home. with an e6700, i was able to get it running for an hour orthos at 530 FSB). Its far cheaper.

The Asus P5N32-E is hands down the best 680i board and the best SLI board currently available but considering your design invalidates SLI, go for a non sli board that will get better overclocks.

ok so I've hit a rather strange wall.

the following setup is 9 hours orthos stable @ 50 degrees load

Speed: 3.19ghz
FSB: 467
Idle: 34/31
Load: 50/50
vCore: 1.333
NB: 1.4
SB: 1.5

Now any decrease of vcore (I want it to be a bit cooler) and it takes after around 5mins in Orthos, and any increase of FSB and it fails in 1min in Orthos.

What else can I do besides increases the vcore which I dont want to do?

1.4 gave me all that 1.5 had to offer, then again I am topped at 1799 and can't get 1800 to post! Very weird... Now a 3.42GHz is your normal GREAT OC... as in you got a good one and you would have to be uber lucky to get one that would go higher... that's what I've gathered... what's your cooling?
