ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Thread - Page 959

im curious if its safe to bump the northbridge voltage from 1.39, to 1.56... im hitting a wall in overclocking and im thinking its the northbridge or just the absolute max for this board.. i've resetted the heatsink on the northbridge and have an 80mm fan blowing on it and its idles around 53 degrees.

yes it is safe to run the NB at 1.56 but don't expect any stable increased OC from doing so. just my experience with this board ^^

As said, it's safe. From my own experience, I had a E2140 running the FSB at 1460 (365), needed 1.56 to get it stable. smile.gif Run like that for about 2 and a half years before switching to a quad that I can't overclock. frown.gif Had this board for almost 5 years now and still rock stable.

Does anyone know if this board plays well with SSDs? Specifically, a 256GB Crucial M4 SSD. I can't find an AHCI option in the bios... Has anyone had success with a P5N-E + SSD setup? If so, what SSD and were there any special steps that needed to be taken, or was it just "plug in and enjoy"?

I had a corsair ssd with this board previously and it wasn't good. But I discovered it was a problem with the ssd. I since switched to the crucial m4 128GB version and it has been flawless. It accepts the ssd fine. I think ahci is just a best practice if your board supports it. But it isn't mandatory for the ssd to function

That's a relief to hear. Now that I know it works, I'd like to know how well it works. smile.gif Do you have the read/write speeds for your m4? I figure the SATA II port and no AHCI will severely limit SSD performance. I'm considering buying an SSD but not sure if the costly upgrade is worth it if the limited speeds on this board aren't going to be a huge improvement over HDD.

That's a good question. To be honest with you I haven't done any bench marking. I have though notices a difference in day to day operations, like launching applications is way faster. But in terms in like raw performance numbers I don't have any. It might be a worth while upgrade though because of you decide to upgrade your computer you can always keep the ssd. I can try and get some numbers for you though. Just have to find the program everyone uses on this site for their hdd bench marks

Please post your benchmarks when you get a chance. I am getting horrific speeds on the ADATA Pro Premier 256GB SSD I just got on this mobo. AS SSD benchmark shows seq. read and write at low 100MB/S speeds. I tried updating the firmware but it didnt help. Device manager is also showing the SSD as SATA 1.5 for some reason too. Are you using Nvidia's drivers for the controller or microsoft's? I'm curious if my SSD is just bad or this mobo just does the same for all SSDs.

My 212+ is on its way, I surprisingly had the coolermaster blue ice sitting in my house. I lapped it for fun(was bored), And I put a 80mm fan on my Northbrige. It was hitting 52C on idle now its seeing 38c with the Fan.

Cant wait to see how far I can push this Q6600 (G0) heh. This thread is super helpful.
