That is the link posted above your message. Some people drop the "SLI" when referring to this board and just call it the P5N-E.Originally posted by: ElAguila
Do you have a link to the pencil mod for the P5N-E SLI?

Hi all, my last post must have got lost in the shuffle.
Any Zalman 9700 users here? Could someone take a look in their case and see if their heatsink extends over the top of the mobo? I want to check clearances for the new build I am planning. Thanks in advance.

just got done running prime95 and orthos together overnight, and finally found a good stable point. settings are in signature now. i also found that running my ram at 5-5-5-15@1000 made it stable, as when i ran it at 4-4-4-12@800 it failed prime and orthos. the ram timings and speed was the only thing that i changed. does that sound normal??

Hello - just want to thank Core2 and everyone for their contributions to this thread. As for me, I'm preparing for my first build (still a month or two out). I'm 90% committed to a 650i board and the Asus seems like a solid choice. I did see that MSI's 650i board is now available at Newegg and wondered what folks here thought about it: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130082
Price point is well below the Asus and it appears to have better cooling, at least on the SB.
I'm also very interested in Gigabyte's 650i, although haven't seen it available yet. Also heard it will be more expensive - not sure how much.
Anyway, thanks again - this thread has been great reading for a first-timer and I can't wait to pull the trigger on my initial build!

hi all.
i have scythe ninja rev.b,e4300 and either i'm doing something wrong or ninja does. @3ghz/1.4 vcore at orthos burn my temperatues in coretemp go as high as 65C.when i press the stop button temperatures fall down to 24C in few secs. I have 80mm intake fan@800rpm, stock fan on ninja@1200rpms and 80mm outtake fan@800rpm.
I'm using stock thermal paste that comes with ninja,the hs is sitting tight. The amount of paste applied is thin like paper. Any ideas?

btw, ran a 3dmark06 with current set up and new 8800gts, got a 8784 score, this vs the 8414 someone else posted earlier with stock clocks on his e6600.

The odd thing is I tried setting the multiplier down to 8 and it did boot with 1001 fsb, set the multi back to 9 and it still booted. Kept going and now i'm up to 1166 fsb with 9x multiplier. Very odd.

I would go with the asus or the gigabyte 650i. I had a different msi board and not only was it crappy but the support was as well.

The highest fsb I have tried with the 8x multi so far is 412.

Core2 dropped my Ram Volts down to 2.17 when at 4-4-4-12 @800 and i believe that did the trick!! i also got a slightly higher score with 3D mark when at 4-4-4-12@800 but not much. i still can't seem to get it stable at 1900fsb?? you did say that you were able to reach 1900 right??
