just looked on there website, and seen that theres a newer one then 803, 901 going to give that a try later on tonight! hope it isnt worse
i'm an absolute beginner so not really qualified to answer any of your q's only thing i can say is that i could see that people liked the 0803 one by going back 1 or 2 pages on this thread and reading people's comments as they overclocked using it. might be worth going for the 0803 rev now and waiting until some people have played with the 0901 rev and come back with the reviews.
Oh Dan its you hows your bro Rich? finally worked out who you are lol
Its Emil from number 17 lol
There doesn’t seem to be as bad memory gaps as previous bios's on unlinked mode. Seemed to boot at any random fsb with my mates setup which it didn’t when I had it on an older bios version.
yep, i had to have a think about ppl moving and worked out is was yourself, Rich is fine thanks. I see you out occasionally about town
Hey guys, would appreciate if someone could provide me with some voltage help.
Currently running my E6400 @3.2ghz and my (4x1gb)memory @ 800mhz 5-5-5-18 2T.
I can drop the memory to 4-4-4-12 1T but i get instability.
Could anyone provide me with information about the volts i should be running with the current overlock?
I have them at auto at the moment and its locking up in games.
Also should i enable sli memory? if so which option should i choose?
Thanks.

This mobo doesnt do 1T but it isnt an issue on C2D systems
yup, change to 2T command rate and all will be good best finding the vdimm for you specific ram and set it manually at that.
pegasus1 is right, we don’t see the same gains we saw on old amd a64 setups running at 1T, just another cunning feature of the core 2 architecture

I havent been following this thread, im gonna be lazy and ask my question.. its a quicky
my p5n-e has a problems with having 4 sticks of 1gb in, it hangs on boot with 4 slots in use, so only running on 3gb at the moment.
Is it a bios update which fixes this ?

updating the bios is a good idea
Can I update straight to the latest version of the bios ?
not sure which version Ive got now, but its one of the very early versions..
Ok I went ahead and put the latest p5n-e sli bios onto a usb flash drive, loaded up ezflash and then got
downgrade was not suitable for the system ? huh, its an upgrade, not downgraded bios ???
Slinger, you should have no issues going from very early bios's to the latest ones.
My buddy had no issues going from 0202 to 0803 bios with my old board.
Ezflash is the way to go for sure.
Clear you cmos and try again.
Could be an issue with 0901, maybe try 0803 in that case.

I am currently on 0202 and am wondering if I should flash to 0803. I'm not sure why I should do it as everything is working fine alth i,m thinjing of buying x-fi sound card and don't know if 0202 will have a problemn with this,
Are all the multiplyers available with latest release as I use an 8 multiplyer instead of 9 and read that certain earlier releases couldnt use an 8 (see sig for hardware)
Thanks for any reply

For 400FSB set the nb to 1.5xx volts and pop a fan over the cooler, the cooler these nb chipsets run the more stable they are
With regards to your cpu voltage it all depends on your cpu and how well it scales with voltage, you’re just going to have to find out. A good start point at least is to see what cpu-z reads with it on auto at your current speed and then set that in the bios manually. You may find that it will have to be set slightly higher in the bios to match windows readings due to vdrop.
Deks, I never actually bothered flashing my board when I ran it with my E6600, it simply worked like a charm with the shipped bios (0202).
I always ran in linked mode and I think that’s why I had few problems with memory frequency holes.
If all is dandy it would be silly to update your bios, try your x-fi and if it works as it should you have no need to reflash.

Appreciate the reply thanks.
This board for me seems to be very temperamental with volts.
