I don't know if it "needs" one, but I put one on just to be safe.Quote:

One more question. I've seen posts about pci-e reverting to 8X for no reason. Have u experienced this?
problems in oc a E4300 with this board are the fsb holes, if you avoid them it's ok :)Quote:

I never saw pci-e problems at least for what i read :D
can someone make a pi 1M with a E6400 @ 3.7 ram sync 4/4/4/12 please ?
i did one @ 3.7 with ram unlinked 520 (4/4/4/12) and 550 ( 5/5/5/12) and i just try the same cpu on P5B-Dlx @ 3.7 sync 462 ( 4/4/4/12 ) and i won nearly 1 second !
I'd like to know if unlinked ram performs bad or if it's N650i which is a lot slower ...
Thanks for the help !
Order placed for a 6300. No need to mess with fsb holes... ;)Quote:

some website observed fsb holes with E6300 too so maybe it's true for all C2D ... :(Quote:

Is there a big difference in price with E6400 because with 7 multi you'll be limited ?
Quite a big (40€ here) for my 2nd rig...
Plus with the upcoming April price cuts, 6300 will lose less than both 4300 and 6400. This is not my final cpu. I can upgrade it whenever i like... ;)
you're right, i bought a E6400 for my 2nd ring too and i'll sell it before end april :D
Let us know what you can do with this E6300 ;)
New Bios Release 0505
Haven't tried it so your on your own.
ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/so...N-E%20SLI/
Changes:
1. Add C1E function support for Conroe-L A-1 stepping CPU .
2. Support new CPU, please refer to our website at: http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/c...el=P5N-E%20SLI
3. Support FSB 1333 CPU .
4. Fix CPR might fail when overclock too much.
thanks a lot John !
I'm actually on P5B-Dlx so as soon as i'm back on P5N-E i'll try this new bios ;)
Anyone had time to try the new bios yet?
Mine is awsome. I never thought this thing would be able to get to 3700mhz. You need to remember that the same cpu can perform totally diffirent on diffirent boards. You should be able to get to 3500mhz if your chip has no fsb wall like my first one did. Even at 400mhz it was still a good chip. Cool the NB and you will be fine.Quote:

I am going to update 0505 too ^^
Can you still change multipliers on 0505? Someone tried it and said it lock his multiplier.
Did not have that problem. Thats very odd.Quote:

I'm getting closer to RMA. If I can't find the problem this weekend the egg gets it back.:slapass:
This bios is really weird and unorganized...I'm too used to DFI. I have to go back and forth between ~6 different pages to change OC settings and it gets really confusing.
Also, whats up with the DDR2 clock needing to be one half the FSB clock in bios? You would think that setting 1:1 would actually make it 1:1 and not 1:2 :slapass:. So I spent 30min trying to figure out why it kept failing POST and only booting every other boot until I went into CPU-Z and saw that setting it to half the FSB was actually 1:1 :confused:. Yea apparently my RAM doesn't like to post at DDR1066 533mhz :rolleyes:.
which ram do you use now ?Quote:

Let us your bios settings please
yes bios values are a bit strange but you only have to konw that fsb is " quad pumped" so you must divide by 4 to get real fsb and for ram frequency you have to divide by 2 ... :DQuote:

Thanks
EDIT: That would be a downward multiplier only.
