Intel 2 Core Q6600 @ 2.4 Ghz
ASUS P5N-E SLI Motherboard
PSU 750W

Stock fans installed at the moment, but thinking of getting Corsair H50-1 water cooling system?

What suggested settings would be required in the BIOS? I'd like to crank up the whole system, the CPU, GPU & memory, if anybody could assist with some instructions please?

I understand the CPU could be cranked up to around 3.6 Ghz and still be stable?

Thanks!

Both of you, might find this interesting, I saved it to try on my friends board with a Q6600, but I am in Germany and he is in Ireland, so he will have to wait until the next time I am in Ireland.

Seen it, unfortunately that thread didn't help me at all.
I've tried so many things for weeks to no avail.

In a earlier post I made, basically anything higher than I have at the moment it does one of the following:

1. Black screen.
2. Hangs at BIOS screen.
3. Hangs on Windows load.
4. Clears Prime, but hangs after a few minutes of gaming.

I get this at varying FSB settings, in no specific order. Best I did was 1520 FSB I think, 3420MHz, (number 4 applies here) after that I gave up and called it quits.

Need some help. I have maxed out all my SATA connections with DVD drive, 150 GB, 500 GB , 1.5 TB drive. I want to add another 2 TB drive to my computer. I may want to add another 2 TB drive in the future. I don't want to change my Raptor 150 GB and my 500 GB drive has a lot of my programs including iTunes and I don't want to go back and add all the album art again. What is a good and inexpensive method to adding more capacity to my computer. I was thinking of getting an external enclosure with eSATA connection. I saw this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817576001 but it says: "Motherboard's SATA port MUST support Port Multiplier in order for your computer to recognize multiple hard drive if the unit is connectd via eSATA" can our motherboards do this. What other suggestions do you guys have.

Thanks

You'd still need an internal SATA connection for the eSATA because if I recall correctly we don't have an eSATA.

You'd be better off getting a cheapo PCI SATA controller.

Its SATA1. You might want to look at a SATA2 one.

P5N-E SLI has an ESata port on the back. Whether it supports multiple hard disks on the single port I'm not sure. I know when I installed the Jmicron Sata software driver from Asus's driver page on Windows2003 Server it gives options for configuring the port with hard drives. Not sure if it supports multiple hard disk at once.

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the P5N-E and WOL?

I have been trying my hardest to get it to work but I haven't been able to get it to work properly. I have enabled "Power on by PCI/PCIE Devices" in the BIOS which is what I THINK controls the WOL feature, but it isn't really clear. However even with this enabled I still can't get it to wake up from being powered off. I can get my PC to wake up if it is asleep, but i'd prefer if I could get it to actually turn on.

Was just wondering if anyone has any experience with this.

Thank you


Cheers
For Fun

Just updating my config and post of the cpuid link:

P5N-E SLI with Q9550 running at 3.48Ghz stable for 6 months

However(isn't there always one?), I have had intermittent Windows 64bit hard freeze issues from several times a day to one a week. There is a rather large thread already on microsoft support that covers the many causes.

I have eliminated overclocking from that consideration by moving to stock clock rate and had the same freeze occur (unless some fundamental incompatibility with Q9550, remote chance though). I believe I have fixed it by adding a new Intel network card, disabling the MB network port, replacing SB Audigy sound card with a HT Omega Claro Plus, and removing the internal USB i/o card. No problems for a week, so knock on all kinds of wood.

Will update in a week or so with the "final" status.

Oh, temps are running 35-40 with cpu voltage set in the bios at 1.7? Can't remember the exact number.

410 bus speed is the absolute max to POST on my MB and coincidentally is stable. Have tried different speeds up to 500 looking for a "hole" but it doesn't exist. 410, it is.

FINAL STATUS: Replacing the above solved all Windows 7 hard freeze issues, so running like a total champ. Final guess, is that MB network port is not compatible with Windows 7 or the SB Audigy card is not. Don't think the USB had anything to do with it, but... who knows. Either way, I won't have to upgrade this machine (replace) for another two years knock on wood.

MY BOARD DIED!

And i don't even know what happened.
I dissassembled my whole computer to clean the dust inside...got it all back in one piece and now i don't get image on my monitor.I tested everything...Video Card,CPU,RAM...everything!The problem is the MotherBoard.And now i'm stuck with a low quality mobo.Anyone has an idea about what could it happened?


This computer was running fully stable at 3.8Ghz just like my signature for 2 years.Never had issues.But i just found a weard thing.On my chipset cooler (Thermalright HR-05-SLI)...i found some scratches from the chipset chip.
