THE Asus P5E X38 Thread

[Narynan]

Alright I am having a conversation with someone in another thread about this board. I am wondering if my P5E supports Xfire @ x16/x16, anf if my p5e has PCIE 2.0 slots on it?

The Asus site says yes on the x16/x16, but outside of a few offbeat retail sites, I cant find anything about them being 2.0 spec.

Thanks for the help!

Edit - Bumped the Vcore up to 1.33 and the NB to 1.45. I'll run Large FFTs in Prime for a little to see if it has any stability at all before I run it over night.

Edit 2 - It failed XD

Edit 3 - Trying 1.35 VCore with 1.47 NB. Looks to be the most stable so far with 450 FSB and 9x multiplier. I'll run Large FFTs on Prime95 over night to be sure.

Edit 4 - Failed after 30 minutes. Pretty sure the VCore is high enough. I'll raise the NB up .02 and try again.

1.47 V ?! lol.. for 445FSB i use only 1.31V

I am thinking of installing the SLI patch. Has anyone done it with this board yet? Any issues?

Hi guys i have a problem with this board so i need your help over here.
I have a cold boot problem when turning the psu switch off and then back on, it reboots twice and then all my overclock settings are gone. Is this a common problem with the board???

Also i've flashed it to a Rampage formula.

Does it double boot when you dont turn off the PSU switch? Many mobo's have that problem on a cold boot. My current mobo does the same thing when I switch it off. But my settings remain.

No it doesn't double boot when the switch is on it works perfectly fine, it happens when i switch the psu completely off. I will lose my settings then. My bios is 0902 by the way.

PM replied to. Just install the FXII drivers in compatibility mode for Windows 7. It should work.
