Asus P5N-D 750i information/help thread!
Hi!
So just changed the title to information thread, so new people can get something out of this
Well when I had this board some time ago I used this settings on my Q6600, and I will see if I can get some other info later
------------------------------------------------------------
The P5N-D
This is a great board for its money, you get a lot of the things its bigger brother 780i have for half the price! (I have owned both so I know..) And its quite good to! So you can`t go wrong with choosing this board!
Specs:
Cpu support: Socket 775, quad & duo, 45nm support.
Chipset: 750i
Memory: up to 8gb, support up to pc6400.
Audio: onboard 7.1 realtek
Pcie 2.0: 2 ports, support for SLi (16x16), (Edit: works with 8800gts 512mb in SLi a little tight but it works!)
Usb: 8x 2.0
Sata: 4x 3gb/s with support for raid 0,1,0+1,5
------------------------------------------------------------
Overclocking
When you are overclocking, you need to test if the overclock is stable and watch temps (Try to keep temps under 70c load)
For testing you can either use Prime95, OCCT or Intel Burn test.
For checking temps you can either use Core temp, Real temp or Hardware monitor.
To check what vcore you have, and clock speeds and so on use CPU-Z.
65nm's (E6600, E6700, Q6600, Q6700 and so on..):
Note: You may have to add a little more vcore, since this board has a terrible vdroop! And if you cant get it stable at 3.6ghz, try 3.5ghz instead! And you don't always need so much volt like I had, since my vid on the Q6600 is 1.3250v..... So you can try lower if you get it stable at my settings first
Note2: Your ram will also overclock when you oc the cpu, so set the ram to unlinked or change the settings to something that works.
Also ram often needs more volt than whats default in bios, so check that your ram have the correct amount of volt, and is running at the specs its supposed to.
Example: Your ram is 800mhz 4-4-4-12 2.1v, but by bios default it may be 800mhz 5-5-5-15 1.8v, so check your specs and change them if they are wrong!
My Q6600 settings:
For 3.6ghz I used this:
Vcore 1.51v
NB 1.44v
HT 1.44v
SB Auto
Multiplier 9x
FSB 1600
For 3.2ghz I used this:
Vcore 1.42v
NB 1.44v
HT 1.44v
SB Auto
Multiplier 8x
Fsb 1600
45nm's (E8400, E8500, Q9550, Q9650 and similar..):
Note: You can use this settings on E8500 and E8600 to, if you got one of these I would recommend to use the highest multiplier possible which is x9.5 on the E8500 and x10 on the E8600, and lower the fsb so you get the same! If its stable oc further! Max safe vcore is 1.365v on the 45nm Intel cpu's! These settings can work on the Quad 45nm's to
For 4ghz (on E8500) use this:
Note: You can try to up the vcore to 1.4-1.42v depending on your vdroop! Just make sure it doesn't go over 1.37v in real time
Vcore 1.39v
NB 1.36v
HT 1.38v
SB 1.5v
Multiplier use whats max on your cpu.

Bios and downloads
I had some problems with the original bios with overclocking, so I would recommend to download the latest bios! And yes, the Asus site is very slow and sometimes down...
Newest bios and downloads
-----------------------------------------------------------
Vdrop mod
Here is a link to ljapilot`s vdrop mod! Would be nice to have, since this board has a terrible vdrop!
Here is the link!

Other thoughts
1: Be carefull with your motherboard, one thing I noticed about the P5N-D is that it is very easy to break compared to other motherboards that are more stiff. So just take it easy and you will be fine
2: Update your bios! The original was with a lot of bugs, and didn`t work properly!
3: Enjoy your board!
