Well I installed the Corsair 240 gig SSD and like Zap said it was easy. Only problem is the Biostar SATA III add on card did not function in SATA III but would only perform at 1.5 gigs per second like SATA I. So right now I have it running at SATA II 3.0 gbs/sec. Wondering if it would be worth...

Thanks. Will do.

Thanks Zap. Good point about add-on card and AHCI. If card doesn't work somehow I will just use on SATA II until I get new board.

Just decided to make jump to SSD so I bought Corsair Force Series GT 240 gig along with a Biostar Sata 6 add on card so I can run SSD at 6 Sata speeds. It appears the SSD is not formatted so how do I format it? I have read that you do not format SSDs the same way as HDDs. I know I have to...

Thanks guys for clearing this up for me. I'll leave all 4 sticks in then.

Thanks for feedback. Not sure about the dual channel because I can't fire up the computer yet till new power supply comes today but whoever built it had the 4 sticks in A0,B0,C1, and C0 which according to the book is wrong for 4 sticks. Manual A1,A0, B0, and C0 for 4 sticks. I'll try cpu-z...

I had someone bring over their computer some small shop built for him because it was shutting down. Turns out it was the Tiger power supply fan stopped working. But when I opened it up I noticed they had installed 8 gig of OEM Crucial CT25664BA1339 ram (4-2gigs) in a triple MSI X58M motherboard...

I had the same problem with the 93.71 drivers but I could not get past the opening screen of options before it froze. I dropped down to the 91.73 drivers and the problem went away. Might be worth a try.

:) I installed this board two weeks ago and love it. I previously had the Asus P5N32-SLi Deluxe and the Premium board and this board was the easiest to set up and overclock. I have a 6800 overclocked right now to 3548 mhz with no voltage adjustments and super stable. Could not do this on the...

Just started overclocking x6800 by increasing multiplier to 13 and FSB to 1080(270) resulting in 3510mhz overclock. To get stable I've been increasing vcore to 1.3 so far but should I also be increasing cpu vtt voltage? Not sure what vtt voltage is? Does anyone have experience with this?

The P5N32 SLI Extreme is an official Core 2 SLI board. http://www.xpcgear.com/p5n32sliprem.html Here are the specs. NVidia is working on another revised edition due maybe in Dec. or Jan.

I have been using P5N32 SLI SE Deluxe for a few weeks now without issue. With unlocked multiplier I have reached 3.6 on 6800. I just ordered the Extreme P5N32 NForce 590 from xpcgear and it will arrive on Monday. Still suppose to have C19 chipset which doesn't overclock well but with the 6800...

Memory clock shows 800 mhz in Bios for memory. Should it be 1066 mhz since I have 1066 mhz supported Corsair 8500C5. The FSB is 1066. Memory setting in Bios can go from 400-1600, as well as the FSB. I know this board doesn't overclock well using FSB. I have multiplier at 13 giving me 3466...

I have never uninstalled the nforce 4 drivers before upgrading to a new version. They copy right over the old drivers. The forceware drivers have to be uninstalled before new drivers installed.

Just checked NewEgg and the board is now 199.99
