boot and enter the BIOS.
Set your memory timings to the manufacturer's specs. It probably needs to be set to 5-5-5-12 and 2T. If it requires 2.2v, set it at the 2.25v (I think) option.
I built my new rig with the ASUS 650i last weekend and have had no troubles since. The board owns. I am running an E6400 @ 3.2GHz completely stable right now with a Zalman 9500. I used Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800 because I have always used Crucial and they are on the QVL. Even so, many people...
Hey Core2, your NB voltage is super low... do you ever experience performance hits during benchmarks or games? If you read the official OC guide at Tom's Hardware as well as the Core 2 Duo stickied guide in the forums, they recommend a NB voltage of 1.55
in the BIOS, did you select "synch" instead of "1:1"? I am saying this because if it shows the same number for the FSB and RAM, it will try and push your RAM beyond its limits. Be sure to select manual, and "synch," then set your desired FSB and it will adjust the RAM number to half for you...
I got a blue Zalman but didn't install it because of that... if you have a good case with a lot of air flow the SB should be OK, I think Asus knew what they were doing
well right now I'm running at 3.016 GHz stable. I set my memory timings at 4-4-4-12 2T and set the vdimm at 2.25v (close to my factory 2.2v RAM specs), the vcore at 1.375v, and the NB at 1.56v
my Zalman is keeping the CPU cool in the 30s. You need to remember to "synch" the FSB to get "1:1"...
OK, I built my 650i rig this morning. Basically, it went off without a hitch and I am already extremely pleased with this rig. My complete specs are in my sig. Here we go:
#1: here we have my Antec Nine Hundred case with the BFG 650W PSU, X-Fi 5.25" console, and DVD burner installed... this...
I am driving back to my apartment tonight and depending on the time I arrive I will build the rig either tonight or tomorrow morning. I'll take pictures during the build and provide links to imageshack after I'm done... I looked through the forums here and I don't think they have html enabled to...
Hey guys, I just joined these boards because it seems like a bunch of power users post here (who actually know what they are talking about!)...
After a month of research, I made my decision and got my ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i in the mail today. I am so stoked and plan on starting the build tonight...
