** The Official ASUS P5N-E SLI & Ultra 650i Thread **

CPUz reports it as being unchanged unless speedstep is enabled. I'm not sure if that's good or not?

Can you post a CPU-z, Coretemp and crystal CPUID screeny pls

Yes, but I think it's a phantom - CPUz is reporting the numbers but the SuperPi time is unchanged. :confused:

Cheers mate, CrystalCPUID/Coretemp seem to read multi's/speed differently to CPU-z (afaik) which might help show what's going on :)

Well, my order has been dispatched, so I'm hoping to get it tomorrow or Monday at the latest. I paid £68.50+£8.50 p&p which, if it clocks at all, will make it the bargain of the moment!

Mine arrived today, I went for the cheaper delivery option.
Although ordered from someone that I had never really heard of it was very interesting to read on the label where it was dispatched from (large well known system builder) ...

the techgage review points out that although the higher multipliers can be set in the bios, they reset on reboot. Perhaps this is what's happening.

the area around the cpu socket looks a bit cramped with capacitors. Any feelings for how a mach 2 head would fit?

Doesn't look much/any worse than the current 965/975's are. Should be able to shoehorn a mach on there!

Yes. That does appear to be the case.

Indeed.

No :D Sorry - I 've never seen a Mach II head.
 
OK - after messing about with this all afternoon this is the best I can get at the moment. (3.2GHz which is hardly stellar)

http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=154700

There is definitely something odd about the CPU/RAM timing as it is not truly asynchronous.

This is only a little better than I was able to get previosuly with my old P5N-SLi :(

You got the latest bios installed? Supposdly you need to max the chipset voltage to get to/over 400 FSB

I don't want to sound over-cautious, but are you sure?

Whats your voltage currently at?

Well i decided to go for one of these. Should arrive soon hopefully, ill be using it with an e6300.

Which one?

CPU - 1.45V (I was freaking out when I did this, but I think the CPU voltage is droopy on this board)
Memory - 1.92V
N/Bridge - 1.563V

After 6 hours of Orthos I stopped it, because it was getting very, very boring. This machine has no fans at all in it (Alphacool Cape Cora 10 passive water cooler) and it's sitting 100% on both cores at 58C. The Southbridge is cool to the touch, but the northbridge heatsink is 73C (measured with a cooking thermometer) so I dread to think what the N/B temperature is itself!

There's ~ 0.1v droop on the board iirc.
If you set the + .01v over vcore, it should give you ~ the right voltage taking into account the vdroop.

If you don't mind me asking. where are you getting all this extremely useful information?
