Simple tests of Asus P5N-E SLI ***56K WARNING***

[kiner]

The stock BIOS(0202) of this board is really terrible.. I can't oc to 300FSB+..

After updating it to 0308, I can do some oc now...

Spec:
MB: Asus P5N-E SLI
CPU: Intel C2D E6600 B0
Cooler: Zalman CNPS7000-Cu
MEM: AData DDRII 667 1GB*2
VGA: Elsa 7600gs DDR3 + Zalman Fatal1ty FC-ZV9
HDD: WD 250G 7200RPM 16m SATAII

No MOD, and No adding any volatge.

All of the tests are in my Lian-Li case.

Boot screen (0308 support SLI ready memory)


450FSB - The highest FSB

It was quite stable..but I cant pass dual superPi 32m..

Conlusion:

I oc the cpu to 350*9(3.15Ghz) and run it 24*7 ...it's okay for me, but I want the better bios to push more FSB

Upping some voltage will result probally in higher FSB

I tried to add the CPU voltage to 1.6v and the NB voltage to 1.56v, but didnt gain more FSB ....

It could be the fact that you have a B0 ES

Where did you get 0308 bios? Try memory in black slots.
