asus p5n-e sli

[inspector-71]

Just a little note on my experience so far with this in case anyone is considering it

fits standard mach to head, just. The caps round the socket are pretty close and you need to get seal string down there

no probs with double reboots or anything like that

board easily does 500fsb

some ram has trouble with 1T timings at high fsb but I have seen crucial anniversary ok at this. i am still experimenting with my ocz 6400 platinum rev 2.

max vcore is a theoretical 1.7 but there is some vdoop so max i have seen is about 1.6v. Personnaly I need abit more to get my 6400 orthos stable at 4 gig so there are a few mods here http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=4450&s=12

it's a good ide to put a fan on the northbridge as it gets hot.

All in all a great budget sli board - mine was £75

Seconded. Great board.

Can confirm 500 FSB, managed with the stock cooler and both E6300 and E6600 ran 500FSB stable no probs. For the cash, it's a great buy.

any great work by yourself in the ocuk thread!

I meant to add as well that I'm having problems with temperature reporting though.

Not sure on the sub-zero tbh. Waiting to get this board volt modded before freezing. Current vdroop and lack of vCore makes phase pointless with the 6600.

Where are you reading temps from btw? bios?

WJA96 is has been a real star in that thread, he's done/doing some awsome work

just getting the temps from speedfan and coretemp which I assume are using the same sensors as the bios.

I did check the bios when I first put it in and I noticed it showed 0 degrees at stock.
