I have The Cellshock ram and it booted with both sticks, they relax the timings for first boot so i am told,it seems to run memory better Linked with a divider ,atm i am on 1600x9=3.6Ghz and mem on 3:4 =1066Mhz with 5-5-5-12 2T , this is the pc2-8000 version btw
Yet it wont run 1000Mhz unlinked at the same timimngs???

All just for clarity maybe we should indicate in the Title line which board we are posting about.
My P5N doesn't suffer from that...it (at least)
Check to see if you have any of the cpu stuff enabled like CiE and viert, etc.
It may be trying to conserve
Anyone using the 405 BIOS? I'm running the P5N32-E. I don't remember it doing it a few BIOS revisions back. Maybe I'll just go back to the one it shipped with and see if it helps. I do know for a fact it was reading 1.39v when I was on water and had 3.82Ghz stable. It now shows 1.37v at the same settings.

So you boot at 1.54 and the thing overheats, plus when you load it, it drops massively (vdroop) and you crash
They should change settings in the bios to read
"choose this setting and you'll get maybe between 1.3 and 1.54v..do you want to continue?"
"Hit the Fu key for Yes and the Fme key for No"
In either case your F'd
Or
"Please deposit $300 for 5 more crashes"
Nice job asus, once again
I don't know why I continue to buy asus boards.
sheesh...:stick: (I guess because I love my p5b, especially after some mods)
I dialed back to 0302, I think, but the only way to flash it was thru the bios using the flash utility and only after a bunch of reboots
None of the utilities (dos) that I downloaded worked.
I think that my problem with the latest was that the multiplier wouldn't go over 12 or something like that.
Guys, I have a problem with 6400C4D in dual channel mode.
Just one of dummy sets: 2.22V CAS=5,the rest on Auto. Mem=800MHz (manual). FSB=400MHz.
Sticks in A1-B1 or A2-B2: able to load Windows, crashes right after desktop shown +- 1 min. Right after this: can't load even POST! Continuously beep from the system speaker. Need to replace sticks to another slots to load again.
Sticks individually: works fine even on 834MHz 3-3-3 ;)
Sounds like my problem I had to RMA my board because of this....
I'll try to check default settings again... Mem in A2-B2 looks more stable...Quote:

FWIW If anyone is interested in vcore/vdroop mods. check here
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=126019
I did the opp vcore mod and the vdroop mod on my p5n
vdroop was .02 during a single run or dual orthos
Now at zero
I thinK that I amusing bios 0302, but I'll vorrect this later if not
Argh..slight problem guys.
I upgraded the BIOS from 402 to 0505 to test and now the thing wont power up any more.
The BIOS upgrade went through smoothly, i was prompted to press F1.. did so. now there is no post
Hve tried clearing CMOS/using one stick of RAM in the last slot/ taking one GTX out, taking everything out
Ive also tried putting the support CD in there and getting the thing to try to boot from it and restore the BIOS but it just sits there and does nothing :(
Anyone have any idea what I should do now?
Thanks
Hi all,
I've been lurking around for awhile and reading all the various 680i threads.
It seems that many users are experiencing some power issues such as Vcore undervolting, Vcore stuck at 1.3x or 1.4x, ...etc. Some of these issues may be fixiable via a BIOS upgrade while some of these issues are design/physical hardware flaws.
After playing with the Voltage Overclocking and Overclocking FSB features in the 405 Bios, I can't access the voltage range from 1.48V - 1.57V. With the 302 Bios, I could successfully Orthos my L629A780 3060 @ 3.6Ghz. With the 405 Bios, it would last 15-20seconds and then reboot.
I'm able to run windows @ 3.6Ghz (8x450) stable upto 3.8Ghz (8x475) unstable. My system will boot and post upto 8x485FSB and crash while loading windows. My system can memtest in DOS @ 3880. Even with the voltage problems. Is my current P5N32-E worth keeping? Many people cannot reach > 450FSB.
Running Orthos @ 3.6Ghz, the load temp is 68-70C using a CNPS 9700. The noise is very irritating. Will a Tuniq Tower run cooler than the 9700 or should I stay with WC'ing.
Thanks
Cjoe
Bump :(..does anyone know if this thing has crashfree BIOS?
Or does anyone know how i can restore the old one?
Thanks
Commando:
Yes it does. A quick tip: I usually utilize the profile save option then when I do a soft reset using the onboard clr cmos button I can restore from my profile.Quote:

Why on earth do a vMod on this board? It can do over 1.8volts real without it. That scares the heck out of me.Quote:

This was at 1.85 in the 0402 bios which is close to 1.8 vCore real.
Thanks for that sdumper...how do I actually use it though?
Just pop the recovery/support DVD in there and turn the thing on?
Iev done that and nothing happens, no reading of the DVD drive...nothing :|
This is bad
Put the bios of your choosing on a disk.
Go to the load bios settings screen and recover from your floppy or cd rom.
Or reset to default settings...that I believe returns you to the original settings.
I wasn't trying to be flippant about it :)
SuperPi is definetly weaker on this board even with very tight ram settings:

Did your clear CMOS routine include the steps outlined on page 2-21 of the manual? You might try unpluging the power cord for several hours or maybe overnight.Quote:

will post a pic.
btw why doesn't memset work with this board?
when i run it, it says does not work with this chipset.
Hehe thanks guys, but yeah I receive no output whatsoever.
I power the bugger on and it just sits there with the fans going and no output to the screen :(..
Yeap, I cleared the CMOS exactly as it specified in the manual
I wonder why it isnt working :|
I also unplugged the whole machine and left it for a day. Still nothing
what heatsink you're using ? make sure you don't clamp down or tighten heatsink mount too far.. i found that caused my striker not to boot until i loosened the scythe infinity modded mounting http://i4memory.com/showpost.php?p=54317&postcount=1
doh didn't read your had probs after 0505 bios update... if you use the clear cmos switch enabled, ensure it isn't in depressed state when you boot up too
Hiya Eva :)Quote:

Yep, changed the little jumper over to "enabled" and cleared the BIOS again, still no go.
And yep, its not depressed when I boot up the board
Back soon!
Annnnnd Im back with bad news, nothing worked :(
ARgh..why doesnt crashfree bios kick in?
I had my P5N32-E SLI not POST for about an hour after making some changes in the bios. I went through my list and when nothing worked I finally picked up the manual.Quote:

You'll notice it tells you to move the jumper from 1-2 to 2-3 but doesn't say to move it back. I would add step 5.
5. After you have entered your BIOS setup shutdown and move the jumper back to pins 1-2 (default).
That's how I did it.
602 BIOS available but not on US DL site ;)
Working good here.
