Asus P5N-E SLI small review

[geof]

So far people with a E4300 have reported locked multipliers with the 0505 bios. Let me know what results you get if you flash to the new bios and what chip you have.
Thanks


EDIT: That would be a downward multiplier only.

i'll try to get results on french forums with E4300, i'll post here if i find something ( and if nobody answers before )

I think my problem was related to an unsecured connector. Everything seems fine now.

0505 is a Downgraded ROM file. It will lock your multiplier. Best bet is to stay with 0401

I haven't tried it. My system runs to good to try it. Enough people have reported back that it locks there multiplier downward ( E4300, E6300, E6400, E6600 ). I guess it's a bug in the bios. I can't see Asus eliminating that option. Most of the people flashed back to their previous bios The only ones that benefit seem to be running Vista and the fix is minimal ( Hibernation )
