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

9x350 shouldn't pose much of a problem. Sorry it didn't work out for you, but you may want to try pulling the battery and resetting the CMOS for a couple of minutes. Helped me when I first flashed to 0803. If that gets it back online, try loosening your RAM timings. My RAM is specified for 8000MHz 4-4-4-15-1T but it won't run at those settings (only at 5-5-5-15-2T, 888MHz). It doesn't post and I have to reset the CMOS every time I try it. It's a big shame, I know but latencies don't make much of a performance difference with Core 2 Duo in applications and games, just in benchmarks.

Hi guys,

I'm new here, but just wanted to tell me how I felt about this mobo.

I first ran this mobo with an E6600, worked fine, on bios 0803. I had my cpu @ 3,2 (8x400 1,4v). Then I bought an Q6600 G0 and then the troubles started.. I couldn't run an fsb higher then 378.. So I thought, maybe an older bios could bring me more luck, but now, I still couldn't reach 400 fsb without dramatically increasing the nb-voltage. So I thought, ok, then I'll try bios 0805, still no luck, also much voltage on the NB and no stable overclocks.

Then my windows started tripping and that was what made me change to another mobo. I also switched from 2 7900 GT's to a 8800 GTS, so didn't have to have SLI anymore.. So now I got a P35 DS4 and I can reach 3,6 with ease now..

So this was my first post here, and probably my last, but I just hope that people have more luck with this mobo then me, because this mobo sure was frustrating..

Good luck to you all
