Wow, I have been busy with this board for over 5 hours and I still havent installed Windows. Im gonna let the CMOS clear overnight, I must be doing something wrong. The blue screen of death is being shown over and over again, I have used three different HDDs, two sets of RAM and still nothing. Im trying not to point the blame on the board but its hard not to in this situation. Any ideas? DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL is what the blue screen says.
I think that means cpu error. Maybe the board's massive droop is making it unstable. Try boosting the vcore to 1.4v or so and see what happens.Quote:

I hope a load of 650/680 boards will be released in January; it's nice to have a choice (personally i always liked the orange or white jellybean flavours)Quote:

Im starting to like this board, but I only have one complaint, my RAM doesnt seem to be working properly my timings are WAYY off. But I will work on that tommorow. After 7 hours of work, I have to say that I am pleased with myself and I can finally go to sleep. :)
With E6400, I can only get it to this:
http://members.cox.net/sbinh/Orthor_4-4-4-12.jpg
with OCZ2G800GK RAM ....at vcore 1.56+ (BIOS ).... 1.55v Speedfan (idle) ....1.50v (loaded)
Try to push higher but cannot... :(
sbinh what happens at 401MHz FSB ?
Are you sure your CPU or RAM is stable beyond 400 MHz ?
Question to all P5N-E users
Have you experienced SATA, sound or any other issues common to 680I SLI based mobos ?
I have had ZERO stability issues that I didnt cause myself (OC testing, etc)
That`s certainly is good sign ,Trice. And I see you have two of those reasons why 680i SLI owners are unhappy: Raid0+3rd HDD and X-Fi :)
Now only thing we need is Vdroop mod and this should be great board for OCers on a budget :D
Well, I couldnt use my Raptor or my WD 500gb SATA drive on this board. But I did try those before I switch PSUs, so I dont know what was causing what. :)
I did a little more testing to find where the fsb strap thing kicks in. It looks like 425 is where the latencies are relaxed.
424 fsb = 64ns latency.
425 fsb = 78ns latency.
I think I'll boot up at 424 and clockgen up...
Edit: Clockgen doesn't work. It made my board unstable and took a couple of reboots to get back into windows. Not a good idea.
I just ordered this Zalman for $4.99. The sb doesn't need too much.Quote:

Couppi, is there a way to show the actual FSB instead of the bus speed in the bios. I mean I know the math so I can get the FSB I want but I figured it would be easier to just show the FSB. :)
O and I will be doing a good bit of testing tonight so I should be able to find my max FSB. :)

Did you already put that HS on?Quote:

thats wot i like about this p5n-e: it's got a big nb sink - i wanna stick a fan right on dat sucker.
No problem with SATA at all, but had little problem with RealTek sound at first .... uninstall and reinstall driver ..Everything is cool now...
Did raise FSB volt. to 1.5+ but no luck ..... Could be the "bad" CPU hold back ....... At 400MHz (FSB), have to set vcore to 1.5675v (BIOS) to have system stable. Raised FSB to 423MHz, sometimes cannot boot up .........(vcore set to 1.6v --- max-out) ....
well; sbinh, if i was in your situation, i'd be asking couppi for all his settings....:)
if u can run x7 multi i s'pose you could test whether your cpu is the limiting factor or the fsb...thats what i would like to know.
i'm also interested to know whether 8x 8x sli is going to work with 8800gts/x sli?? and if so will it be (dare i say it) bottlenecked by 8x 8x (vs 16x 16x)
Yup .. I hope he would post his settings here ... It would benefit everyone ... ;)
Damn, im having problems with Clockgen. I can only raise the FSB by 1 at a time, otherwise I get a hard freeze. Whats up?
does 680i have fsb holes?
ahh, if only the pleb's had access to engineering samples
Same problem here :(Quote:

Clockgen Smoothstep
Of course, you'll have to switch out the included clockgen version with the special nforce 6xx one and maybe do some other things as well. I don't have time to play around with it right now.
Haha, if someone wants to send me a couple ES chips, I will be glad to accept and test my ass off. ::wishing:: ;)Quote:
