Update with buy.com I ordered it but it took them over a month to get the part so i cancelled order and got the A8n sli through monarch for 10 bucks cheaper with shipping :) I am not impressed with buy.com at all. Everyone had the Asus board in stock as of Jan 5. Monarch and Newegg are...

I just ran 3dmark05 and gpu temp was 60c under full load with stock cooler at default settings. Is that pretty good? I checked the 6600GT round up and that was much less that alot of the cards listed under full load.

I have a new 6600 GT card. How do i overclock it. I know with ATI cards which i had last time i downloaded the tweak3d program. Is there a similar program for nvidia cards?

this is a great guide. Unfortunately I am not having any luck getting any really good results. Hopefully someone can tell me if I am doing somehting wrong or what the weak link is. First off my system is: Asus Sli board Winnie 3500 Antec 430 true power Ocs PC3200 cas 2 ram Gt6600...

I would definitely try upping the mem and cpu voltage and relax the mem timings a bit. Also try downloading the most recent bios and check that your airflow is pretty good in the case. I also had luck with putting fresh batch of as3 on my cpu again. I had 2.8v on mem and 1.825v on cpu...

I had much better luck with my barton than I am with my winchester. I could run 10*225 @1.8v and 2.8v for memory with Asus NF2 Ultra deluxe board. I am having the hardest time getting anything out of my new winchester & A8N-Sli combo

Thanks for the help, any suggestions on the gfx card?

I just got my 3500 Winchester chip set up with my A8N-Sli Asus board yesterday. I have a Gigabyte 6600GT card and a 430 watt True power supply. My old OCZ PC3200 2-2-3-6 would hit 225 mhz at cas 3 in my old NF2 asus board. What are the best OC settings for the new asus board given my...

Where is the memory divider? I can't find any settings in the Bios for it. I'm really excited because my 3500 chip is running at 39c under full load with my super copper heatsind/fan.

Let me post my system info and what I have done if it helps. AMD 3500 Winchester 1 gig 2-2-3-6 3200 ddr OCZ ram I was able to get up to 225 mhz with my old NF2 chipset Asus board Gigabyte gt6600 card Asus A8n Sli deluxe board WD 74 gig raptor Creative Audigy 2 Antec 430W True Power PS...

I am in same boat as you, I just got my .9 3500 chip and asus sli board. After you figure yours out i will start to try to oc it. I hope i can at least get to 2500 ocing this chip.

I just bought a Asus N4 sli board and i had a few reasons for doing so. First i got a great price on buy.com of 185$ so it was only about 50 bucks more than all the other non SLI boards i had seen. Next you have the ability to add SLI gfx cards down the road even if you don't do it now, I...

I have had the same thing happen to me. When i reboot I got to the xp screen then when it goes to the login screen all i see is black and have to reset. I have to do this 5 times and then the login screen pops up and everything normal. I uninstalled the ATI previous drives that had the...

I have about half a tube left of Arctic Silver 3 and am about to get a new CPU. Should I get a new tube of Arctic Silver 5 or are they both basically the same product?
