#0, afaik.. In unlinked mode, ram speed isnt set by using dividers on the main PLL. The board has dual PPL, one for cpu, one for ram.
You kinda hint otherwise under 9. Dividers

I noticed a speed decrease when unlinked
Im a bit confused, in your statement you said that the higher CPU freq is you are guaranteed to get better mem bandwidth, correct ?Originally Posted by Lestat
with that said, dropping the multi from 7 down to 6 reduces the CPU freq so it should also drop in memory bandwidth, thats from what i understand in your statement.
So whats the problem of losing mem bandwidth from 7 down to 6 when its expected to do so ?
But do C2D's maintain bandwidth regardless of the CPU speed say i get X bandwidth with 400fsb with 8x multi, even dropping it to 6x multi while having 400fsb still nets the exact same bandwidth ?
p.s. im not saying anyone is wrong here but i just seem to miss the point.

I differ when it comes to NB temperature. My NB doesnt get to over 55 Celscius when stressed with 1.45 NBcore. I have the striker to be exact.

Mine stays quite cool, and the heatpipes are actually working quite well. I stay right around 31 on the Asus probe, with an actual thermometer it gets to 45 where you were putting the temp sensor.
I would also say my best performance for memory/pi/3d/everything is in the 1T column. 4-4-4-8-1T @ 970 mhz beats everything else I could throw at it. 980 errors ou on pi32. 960 is prime stable. Its a funny board.
I have not popped mine off yet, but is it possible we are seeing yet another case of bad mounting, concave chipsets, and improper application of thermal interface material on these boards?

In response to Ibinco,
My Razer Diamondback loses itself on both my DFI Lanparty and my EVGA 680i. And has caused reboots on both. So Im pretty sure it isnt just the board. I never noticed this phenomenon on my AMD stuff before I got the Razer.

I noticed something weird on my evga board today.
All I did was add a dvd-rom drive and reverse the cable, and my windows boot time is now literally like 4 times faster than before.
I don't know what happened, but faster is always welcome
You didn't buy one of those directional cables, did ya now? :p

Obviously I can bench higher but right now I am more interested in everyday use and so Orthos is playing a big role. Also since I have only had this board back for a short period I'm sure it has a lot of hidden secrets to discover...this bios is amazing 0402 ... 0502 is not stable for me

thanks and happy xmas

I ran Orthos for over 6 hours at 4.4ghz and then shut it down to play some with my highest OC ... Anyway I brought it back up and let it fold both cores for 48hours and not a single error in my WUs. This is plenty stable for me. Final verdict this is hands down the best socket 775 mobo I have played with.
Food for thought: 4717 ghz (http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=149488) on this board and prior to that my highest was 4.6 on my P5W64 Pro (http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=131381). I havent tried all the mobos but this is what is beats out from the ones I have tried:
P5W DH Deluxe (vmodded)
P5B Deluxe
P5W64 Deluxe
P5B Deluxe wifi (vdroop modded)
Im sure it will have some contenders soon but for me it was worth the money I spent on it.

Has anyone else noticed that the P5N32-E SLI has been removed from the ASUS USA Website? looks like the Striker Extreme is now the only 680i board they are going to sell. Guess ASUS got greedy and doesn't want to sell a board for under $400.
I was also wondering if anyone knows of a tutorial that explains what tests to run to test individual components of a PC so I can pinpoint where my bottlenecks are happening? I'm still at 3.2G and somewhat unstable since I cant Orthos blend for more than 2 hours and dual SP2004 errors after around the same amount of time. I'm starting to wonder if I should have started with a different board for my first system in over a decade. Maybe a nice intel board or something that will really 3D like a champ.

The P5N32-E SLI is still on the Global site. It's probably just a web site screw up although I'm beginning to wonder why AnandTech hasn't put up a review of this motherboard. I'm sure I saw where their review should be posted around Thanksgiving but now I'm wondering if the P5N32-E SLI didn't turn out to be the turkey!Originally Posted by Cyaneed
I'm also having problems with dual SP2004 at 3.2GHz and above. In my case it's unstable almost immediately.
