what does 0602 fix and is it worth flashing to it? 0405 hasnt really failed me save for the massive VDrop and VDroop.
I can't get this board to boot with my QX6700... what a shame ! Anyone has some king of "beta bios coming from nowhere" which support it ? :)
All the BIOSes support the QX6700. You seem to be having a different problem.
My QX6700 is working well on my P5B DLx, but don't want to boot on P5N32-E...
I would check other components, then reinstall everything in a minimal config...
there are plenty of people that are using the QX with these boards.
Ok, I got it to boot finally, but that were very strange...

I also get some massive heat problem when i go above 1.5vcore my temps go from 50C max load to 78C on idle. I think i'm going to rma this board. Funny thing tho is that it runs 3.6ghz at 1.5v at 78C+ stable on orthos.
Try loading BIOS Defaults or removing the battery for a minute or so.Quote:

He is really lucky if he hasn't had to do that in the first place. As far as I recall every single time I've flashed the BIOS afterwards it will not post until I pull the battery, power and wait 1-2 minutes.Quote:

I have never had to pull the battery after a BIOS flash. It always comes back up with no issue.
???
Weird I updated to the 0701 Bios last night and restarted ...but it woudlnt boot.
Solution:
I had to pop the battery in order to get it to boot but now I have no issues...
Strange...
So far the Asus P5N32-E has been dead solid. I'm running the 0602 bios. I ran it at 7x 500fsb at stock volts and am also trying upping the multi to find its ceiling as well. I figure on air my options will be limited.
Sure like my new ram as well
q: Shall I buy a P5N32-E SLI or stick with my P5B vanilia (SLI leak:banana: ) ???
Heh tried the battery take out this just then..still no go :(
Just flashed to 0701 and board rebooted fine.
A question about the HT multie, mines set to 5X. Do you need to play with this thing and if so what does it do???
Take a look at this:Quote:

Maybe one hour won't be enough. This seems to have worked a couple of times.
So i pulled the trigger on a new system build:
Striker Extreme:
Xeon 3060 which was known good on a P5W DH for 3.6Ghz @ 1.52volts
2x 8800GTX for SLI
single Raptor X
SoundBlaster Xi
pair of optical DVD burners.
Dominator Series Twin2X2048-9136C5D memory
I've got an Enermax Galaxy 1000 Gamer edition to power the whole setup.
First boot up, I took it stragiht to the BIOS with both sticks of memory. No problem. Of course, it was default 1.8v @ 5-5-5-18. memory is EPP compliant, but haven't tried used the EPP features yet. After a few minutes, the scree went 'crazy' Random characters and colors everwhere. Reboot, go to Windows. Windows desktop works fine. Using Asus Update tool, went to the new 0701 bios. Now i can stay in BIOS indef with no issues.
I've tried a few overclock settings - like stragith to a 1600FSB @ 1.55 volts vCore but system hung at memory test.
So, i guess i need to do some reading and find other folks sweet spots.
I've had a lot of setbacks with the build, but its all in one box now - so now i'm ready to expand the horizons. Has anyone seen a 'Striker results' thread?
this might help you:

All the issues with the Striker validates my choice of its less expensive counterpart.
They share the same problems. But I guess if your going to have issues might as well pay $100 less. Note that I doubt anyone has had any sort of problem running stock off of any modern board. We just get headaches trying to stabilize systems running faster than they were intended.Quote:

Other than some minor issues with the newest bios (0602), its been relatively problem free. When you compare that to the striker or the 680i reference boards, it seems like there are some signifigant differences.Quote:

THanks :D..will report back in a few hours!Quote:

Running 500FSB is nothing on this board but timings go to hell at 425Mhz. I get faster at 3.4-3.6Ghz in certain tests than I do at 4Ghz. If it doesn't touch the memory much its faster. They need an option in BIOS to force the strap setting. Plus the vcore regulation sucks. Certain BIOS revisions stick no matter what you put. There is a lot of things mentioned in this thread.Quote:
