Thanks for the reply I will be having a look at the but I have another question aswell, i got this board about two months ago and on my old Abit board my CPU temp was min@ 35 AND Max@ 60 and when i got the new board i have now my cpu idle's @ 60 and almost to 90 at full load. I have added new paste twice already. first with standerd paste and second (which is on now) with arctic cool paste. I am using open hardware monitor for temp readings. i just cant understand why it would be doing this when all i have done is change the mobo (and obviasly add another graphics card). Could it be the heatpipes around the CPU? o and i am using water cooling Antec Kuhler H2O 620.

You tend to lose a lot of airflow over the MB when using those types of coolers.
Did you get a squirrel cage fan with the board? if so stick it on and plug it to the chipset fan header.This will help MB temps,not cpu temps.
386

How is the case airflow?Is the khuler rad setup as intake or exhaust?
What case are you using?

But it looks to me like either to much or not enough TIM.

I did get the squirrel cage fan with the board but that is not on the header as it wont fit due to the fan on my radiator over lapping the header heat pips (if that’s what u mean).

Regarding my airflow i have one 120mm fan intake at the front of the case, 120mm intake on my side panel on both my graphics cards, 80mm fan outtake of my GPU heat on the middle front of my case and two 120mm fans on my radiator with a push-pull config outtaking heat.
and the case i am using is an NZXT M59.

and what do u mean by "TIM"?

TIM=Thermal Interface Material or thermal paste.

Download this http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html and post a screenshot so we can see the overall temps.

you can also put the squirrel cage cooler on the other heat pipe thins above the pcie slot as well i actually am using 2 squirrel cages at the moment and it actually pulls the heat away from my video card as well thumb.gif

Hi All, have not been here for a while.
I've been running my M2N32-SLI Deluxe with a Phenom II 945 for a lil while now.
It's been running on 4GB of Corsair (2*2048MB) PN:CM2X2048-6400C5 in DIMM Slots A1 and A2.
Recently one of the memory stick died and system wouldn't post so I ran it with only 2GB in DIMM slot A1 for a few days.

So this brought me to do a lil upgrade and went ahead and got me two kits of G.SKILL PN: F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK to bring the system to a total of 8GB with all mem slots populated. Had to do a couple tweaks in BIOS, nothing mayor. I'm running Windows 7 Ultima x64 by the way.

The thing is that I've always had a problem with this MB when trying to run memory in slots B1, or B2. Below are the different ways I've tried to get this thing going.

Single Slot Populated
A1: POST OK, Windows Boots and Runs OK.
B1: NO POST, NO BEEP CODES, NOTHING.
A2: POST OK, Windows Boots and Runs OK.
B2: NO POST, NO BEEP CODES, NOTHING.

Two Slots Populated
A1+B1: NO POST, NO BEEP CODES, NOTHING.
A2+B2: NO POST, NO BEEP CODES, NOTHING.
B1+B2: NO POST, NO BEEP CODES, NOTHING.
A1+A2: POST OK, Windows Boots and Runs OK.

I have not been able to get it working, ever. I'm just trying to figure out if anyone can shed some light into what might be the problem or if it's simply that my motherboard had CH_B DIMM slots dead. I've tried every possible way with just a stick in slot B1 for example to get it working and it will never POST. Resetting BIOS, presetting memory timmings and all that stuff, but I'm stuck with 4GB I guess unless anyone has any info/idea that can help me out.

I don't have any first hand experience with 1066 in our bards but. I think I know what's going on here. assuming that B1+B2 worked just fine prior to upgrade, 1066 RAM is limited to only 2 slots on our boards. If you want to get all your slots populated, you will have to have A1 populated to get into the BIOS. Once you are in there, set the ram to operate at 800 and set your DIMM voltage to it's correct operating settings. After you set this up, you should be able to boot with all your ram in the motherboard assuming that you don't have any bad slots. If everything goes well, you can actually OC your ram up towards 1066.

Nah, It's not only with the 1066 that I see this problem.
I also have four 512MB Corsair DDR2 800MHz (CM2X512A-6400) and the system won't POST with those as well when all slots are populated.
I have done the same testing with the 512MB sticks and with same result. The MB won't even POST with the good 2048MB Corsair Stick I have when it's installed in slot B1 by itself.

Here is my CPU-Z Validation.

Try another OS install w/new drivers. Sounds to me like Malware or Virus shinanagans at it's best.

Lol I was pretty stupid not to format the drive straight away.

It now works wonders, even with the old RAM smile.gif

I'm currently looking for a cheap e-series processor, as I need something that will eat less power than this Opteron... 103W TDP O__O

Disable SLI Ram settings and make sure the command rate is set at 2T not 1T and you should be able to use all 4 slots fully populated.

Edit: You may need to loosen the ram timings but I doubt it and or bump up the voltage on the ram a tad. 2.1+ volts is where I always run 4 sticks.
