The Unofficial ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Board Thread

dflcobra, what frequency are you running your RAM at? It sounds like we're in the same boat, which is bad--it means we could have a compatibility issue. It could be cleared up with a BIOS revision, but that's not an ideal solution, since it could take a while. I didn't test my system...

The Unofficial ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Board Thread

Thanks, dlfcobra. One more question: can you tell me what batch your RAM is from? Crucial tech support said that one batch might be compatible, and the other not. I have 16FB3. It should say what batch you have on the sticks themselves, right after the part number. Did you try flashing to...

The Unofficial ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Board Thread

I can get the Crucial to 1000 easy with relaxed timings, about 970 with default timings at 2.353 (1.5v above stock although I think that I can lower it to 2.259). What type of Crucial are you using? I strongly suspect mine of having compatibility issues with the P5N-E SLI, and it's...

ASUS P5N-E + Dominator = ?

The P5N-E should be better, but it has caused a lot of people (myself included) huge headaches due to compatibility issues. Be forewarned that you may run into serious problems, at least in the short run, if you choose the P5N-E. See the other threads on the topic in this forum.

P5N-E Issues.

Just FYI, if y'all are having problems like mine, ASUS appears willing to RMA the board. I have NO idea what they'll try to do to it to fix it, but an ASUS tech support guy just told me to RMA it. If I can get any information from the RMA people about what they're planning to do (or what's...

The Unofficial ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Board Thread

I'm still totally unstable with 0401 and only stable at 0202 if I underclock. I have: re-seated the RAM tried yellow slots, black slots, and one stick double-checked all power connections flashed to 0401, cleared CMOS, removed and replaced battery changed memory to 2T at default settings...

P5N-E Issues.

It will probably end up being a solid motherboard, but it's way too buggy right now. If I were to do it over again, I'd get the DS3. It's just not worth the risk or the grief.

P5N-E Issues.

I'm in the same boat, and somehow, that's comforting. My sig is accurate. I was stable with 0202, but couldn't even get the FSB past 300. RAM passed memtest, etc. with flying colors. But when I tried upping either the FSB OR the memory speed, it went unstable very quickly. 0401 made the...

Thanks for the advice, but I'm still having trouble. I put 0401 on again to test stability, and I made sure to clear the CMOS and take out the battery. It appears marginally more stable, but it still crashes as soon as I try to run Prime95. Why is nobody else having trouble with this BIOS, I...

The Unofficial ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Board Thread

I apologize for not reading every post in this thread before posting myself, but I couldn't see any problems similar to mine from scanning the pages. I have several problems, and I think the P5N-E SLI is at the heart of them. 1) I can't overclock AT ALL. In fact, I can't run my RAM at...
