VortX said:Just a quick question. The motherboard has a 1066FSB yes? If it does are you still able to say overclock it to 1333mhz so I could use that conductivce pen trick and make my E6600 run at 1333mhz on this board?
Enter the BIOS
Select CPU Mode - Unlinked
Type in 1333 for CPU Speed
Type in XXX for your memory speed
No need for any pen tricks, just set the speed you want.
My 800FSB E4300 is stable up to approx 1500FSB

well i am now totally stable @
3.0Ghz 1.33v
1500FSB (375mhz) 1.43v
PC6400 800Mhz 4-3-3-10-20-T2 2.1v
which gives me a superPI of 18.9 seconds.
the above setup is dual core orthos stable whilst running SuperPI, whiilst runnings RM Bench memory analyzer, and winamp + internet explorer.
only thing is it wouldnt boot (cold boot issue) first time this morning. reset ddidnt work i had to power off and back on again. now im back in windows and 100% stable again.
i think with a good bios this is an okay board. whether i am limited to 3.0ghz by my board, or the cpu i just dont know. i can boot @ 3.1 and 3.2 but i get solid lock ups in windows when orthos+superpi stability testing.

I think any Conroe/Allendale will reach 3GHz with ease when picking a 650i board.
After that, it's all a bit hit and miss on how overclockable the CPU is, the stability/compatibility with RAM and issues with heat from the CPU/bridges.

i am at 3.15 now 350mhz, still having issues with the board... my xfi doesnt like using the digital out using jack to digital coaxial. Have to boot up and untick then tick the digital check box before my amp gets a signal. Never had this problem with my P5B-Deluxe. Also had problems with my keyboard not working using the purple adaptor in windows (which means i have to swap it to usb in windows) but works fine in the bios... i really want this board to work out but it's quite disheartening at the mo.

Just a quick question does this motherboard make a sound if a error is reported.
as mine is not making a noise and was just wondering if it had any type of fault reporting
or my board needs taking back.
thanks in advance

yea it makes beeps via internal speaker or something. mine definately has
done.
done.
Soldato
cheers
not making a noise here but i only have a 4 pin motherboard plug instead of the 8 pin
so im not sure if it is this i have placed it in the first 2 slots as mentioned earler and it tries to power up and it does but it just will not post. And makes no bleeps though which i though it would have done.

have you cleared CMOS? try that and let me know what happens.
Soldato
yes already tried everything i can think of even stripped it downso only the cpu memory and graphics card is there the psu is a yesico 420 watt so should be plenty for a 6400 and a nvidia 7900gs.
Soldato
Well just been out and bought a new psu to make sure with full 8 pin and 24 pin the tagan 530 watt and still no go
getting quite annoyed now

What is the exact symptom you are seeing?
Do you get any type of POST activity e.g. Fans, lights etc or is the board totally dead?
What other components are you using? Mem? Graphics? SLI?
Have you tried the board outside the case to eliminate standoffs contacting?
Do you have a fan connected to the 4 pin CPU fan socket?

Soldato
I get light fans etc just no post and tryed running it outside the case already thats the first thing i did after it failed to boot in the case.
I will just take it back tomorrow as im 95% sure its faulty, im sure im not missing something although this is the first intel based rig i have built for quite some time.
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-089-LT&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat= is the graphics card im running in it just the one of them
and http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-072-OC&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat= is the memory im running

I'm running a fairly similar system. 2GB PC6400 Geil and 7800GTX. Without teaching granny to suck eggs, few other ideas
Your memory should be fine as it quotes 1.9v-2.0v
I have my Dimms in the two black slots rather than the red. I've never tried the red as the two more distant sockets were rumoured to be better on the Asus so I stuck with them.
The Bios Jumper should cover the two connectors furthest back from the edge with the PATA sockets.
SLI connector set for 1 card?
Is it a new card? If you are using the DVI to VGA adapter then some cards only support this on one of the two DVI outputs.
Guessing you have power to the card and it's in the top (nearest to CPU) slot for single card master.
MY board posts fine with just CPU, Mem and Graphics using a 20pin + 4pin PSU - just doesn't OC as well.
Other than that, looks like a dead board.
One thing to note though, if the Bios settings are a little picky, holding reset for a second can sometimes get it to post.

I have already given up on it and packed it up now ready to take it back in the morning, i did not try the memory in the two black slots though as was already boxed up ready. But i know the memory is working fine as i have tried that in a friends system.
the graphics card itself is brand new and im using dvi on it and yes had the extra power adapter for the card plugged in.
So i have put it down to either being a faulty graphics card or motherboard
as they are the only two things that have not been tested elsewhere.
Hi, I've been following the progress of the c2d overclocking threads and a fortnight ago i got myself the following.
Asus p5ne-sli
E4300
2gb Geil pc6400c4
bfg geforce 8800 gts oc 320mb
I found the asus board very simple to overclock but unfortunately it blew up on me, after a frustrating 4 day wait i got a replacement which went the same way (no boot, post errors all over the place), i put this down to the flimsy nb heatsink and possibly a dodgy batch, after losing more hair for the rest of the week i bought one of these abit boards.
From the first look it was definitely more impressive than the asus, higher quality board and cables.
After getting it all together i had a few scares just getting into the bios, after about 30 resets i managed to get there and noticed the ram voltage was low but the timings and speed were correct, after bumping it up + some nb voltage it was much happier but still hangs up now and then.
Overclocking was the usual trial and error affair but for some reason i need over 1.5v in the bios to get past 3.15ghz, which seems bit higher than other people, sometimes this is orthos stable for 15 hours, sometimes 15 minutes, its usually happier after a hard reset (i should mention it doesnt hold an overclock when switched off at the socket but the reset button gets it back on track).
I cant get past 3.15ghz orthos stable but i can get it to post at all speeds up to 3.6 with silly volts (1.65).
I've tried all the northbridge voltages and get no improvement past 1.31, i think i have the same problem decto had, my psu only has a 4-pin connector, could this be the reason i need so many volts on the fsb tho?
My ram is at 900mhz in the red slots, orthos crashes in the black ones.
Sorry for the over long first post, if anyone has any suggestions or finds this useful i'd be chuffed
