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

Whizzer,

Yes if you choose 1.35V Vcore in the BIOS, then Everest would show that value+/- a little bit. I cannot believe Auto overvolted the Vcore so much. However, I am running 501 that came with my other machine and a Xeon 3070 and Auto shows 1.33V (1.325V) which is correct. I think it is from 601 and later that the auto voltages get weird.

Safan80,

The "raising" kit is only like $2.00. While it may work like you say, this kit sure makes things easier.

Radical53,

Agreed. I run Everest (latest version for this board in particular) and the "mobo" temperature has nothing to do with the NB. I water cooled it and this value did nit change from before. It is somewhere on the board, but not on the NB. Even back in the 478 days, people always say that the mobo temp is the NB.
