680i SLI is too expensive? Asus as the solution : P5N32-E SLI PLUS

dude, read the thread, i put a link in post #466

**The Viper** · 04-05-2007, 06:31 PM

actually Ive read the thread through 2x, unfortunately I just cant seem to remember 20 pgs of posts...thanks though for your quick response

**TigerLord** · 04-06-2007, 03:45 AM

OMFG Im so pissed... my mobo got fried before I even fired up the goddamn PC !

I flipped the PSU Switch, the mobo led flickered, smoke came from the mosfets just under the last PCI slot, something burned (couldnt see what but something burned) and then the mobo led became solid...

I can fire up the PC just fine, everything is on, but there is no image on screen. Since my case doesnt have built-in speakers I cant see if its beeping... How could something be fried before even firing up the PC? How

ing ridiculous...

Now I'll have to RMA the board, but this is really pissing me off as I waited over a week for the 8800GTX to get here, and this happens... and with the holiday Ill be looking if I get a replacement within 2 weeks,,,

SUCKS!

how do u guys save bios settings to a text files?? and display it here in the forum like what the thread starter did in his posts about how he reached 3.6GHz ....

i tried save settings to a text file in bios .. it gives me a .CMOS file .. which is useless ...

**espionix** · 04-06-2007, 06:12 AM

Well i'm now 18 Hours Orthos Blend Stable might be crazy yeh, but I wanted to make sure it was 100% stable at stock clocks.

Because of the vDIMM problem i'll probably RMA the board (hey, it's free) for peace of mind and all that.

And because this RAM is so damn touchy with its volts i'll probably sell it for different stuff.

Dunno how much Gkill F2-8500PHU2-2GBHZ PC8500 4-4-4-5 would go for

**Jultsu** · 04-06-2007, 07:28 AM

OK guys, back to basics. I'm running this 9x333 = 3000MHz with 1.264 vcore after droop. 2 hours dualcore prime95 stable. I couldn't get 3600MHz stable even with 1.464 vcore, so it's not worth it. Both cores are now at 48c with full load.

to get 3.6Ghz stable with this board & a 6600 you need a lot more vcore. try 1.55 in the bios.

**shimmishim** · 04-06-2007, 11:07 AM

i don't get it, my e6700es needed originally 1.5375 bios or 1.47 after droop load to get 3.6.

now i need 1.49 with droop mod in place.

this board needs about .05 to .06 more volts to get 3.6 stable than my bad axe 2 needed.

interesting.

but my new 6600 only needs 1.36 bios for 3.6

**theteamaqua** · 04-06-2007, 11:50 AM

umm how u save bios setting to a file anyone??

What's the batch code?

Where did you get that 28B?

A couple of screenshots from february when it was below zero outside (and so was my computer.) As you can see, 500fsb is no biggie when the NB temp is below 20 degrees celcius (my cooling liquid was 7 degrees celcius so i'm guessing the NB must have been that cool)

I also tried 9x462 = 4158 MHz or something like that, but I seem to have misplaced my screenshot... dualcore prime95 was not stable, but I did manage to run superPi

edit: ah yes, here it is. http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/5...rpi32mjrg2.jpg

The potential IS there, I just need a goddamn fridge where to put my computer.

Pitiful question just put a flop disc in it or find your HD by browsing it.

**theteamaqua** · 04-06-2007, 02:34 PM

yeah but i see people post their bios setting in the forum ... how they do that?

after i save the settings to floppy. it craetes a .cmo file in my floppy .. which i cant open it with anything ...

how?

**shimmishim** · 04-06-2007, 03:38 PM

wow, this board REALLY undervolts the memory.

i just used the memory measuring spot found on the pervious page and...

2.3 volts bios is something like 2.15 actual.

i got some ballistix that are rated for 5-5-5-15 @ 2.2 ddr2-1000 that wouldn't run orthos at 2.2. after changing voltage to 2.35, it actually started to work.

anyone else getting a big droop in mem voltage?

yeah, i just found your reply and see it's not just you as well.

**espionix** · 04-06-2007, 05:14 PM

Ok, when my memory was running underclocked (800Mhz) Orthos is 18hours plus stable.

At the same voltage (2.35v BIOS, 2.40v PC Probe, 2.27v Actual), the ram fails Orthos after 3 seconds at 1000Mhz.

**shimmishim** · 04-06-2007, 05:45 PM

try a different divider.

try... 8 x 450 with mem at 1000 or 1800/1000 unlinked

i've found the 8x mult to be nicer than the 9x mult at least to me

**espionix** · 04-06-2007, 05:57 PM

My CPU is at stock, 9x266. I just set unlinked, 1066/1000 =/

EDIT: Ok, notched vDIMM up from 2.35v to 2.425v @ 1000Mhz, and it lasts longer than 3 seconds

.

Still, at 2.425v in bios, it only reads 2.29v actual with a volt meter, but 2.48v in Everest/PC Probe

copy n paste and fill in your own details

[edit] nvm, eva beat me to it

**theteamaqua** · 04-07-2007, 01:33 AM

ohh i c.. i thought u guys know some trick to get all the settings in bios export to a text file that can be open by notepad or something

**espionix** · 04-07-2007, 06:41 AM

This is driving me insane. Tested the ram in a friends pc and theres nothing wrong with it. I think i'll sell it and buy some CellShocks maybe.

Grr, now to find a buyer.
