    P5N-E SLI causes boot failure with 4 sticks of ram

    I have the same board, with 8gb installed. The only way it will run is with mem volt at 2.42. Everyone says its too high but its been that way for a while. I'm gonna mess around in the bios and see if I can get it to run at a lower voltage.

    Help Improve My System

    There's really lag or real wait time as it is, but I just wanted "to go faster". I may just way a while longer since you guys don't really see it being worth the upgrade. I think I will get a new mb and psu though. My vcore fluctuates from 1.24v loaded to 1.36v at idle. That doesn't seem...

    650w Corsair Needs Replacement?

    My current setup is in my sig. I installed cpu-z and my CPU voltage is going from 1.24-1.36v. I don't understand why it would fluctuate so much, so it doesn't seem right to me. My voltage is set at 1.25 in the bios and c1 stepping is disabled. I guess I will go 750w modular if this...

    Help Improve My System

    I think the harddrive setup is pretty good. I'm using two Sata 300 640gb drives Raid 0 and reading from those writing to my sata 300 1tb drive it usually transfers in the 90mb/s range. 97mb/s is the fastest I've seen. Raid made a huge difference.

    Help Improve My System

    My system is in my sig. I'm thinking about getting a new CPU. Would a Q9650 overclocked be worth the upgrade? I don't game a lot, it's occasional. I do a lot of multitasking and just like to have a fast computer. If that CPU isn't worth the upgrade, would anything be a...

    Q9300 at 3.30ghz

    I tried to go higher. It boots at 3.30ghz and 1.33v but when it tries to load windows it says hardware or software has changed and something about kernel missing or changed. I tried 2.91 but it keeps rebooting. I tried messing with voltage and never got anything stable.

    Q9300 at 3.30ghz

    Thanks for the reply. I'm running at 52c according to realtemp at 2.85ghz. I'm gonna attempt to kick it up. I will reply to this with specs.

    new build please advise

    I would just throw more ram in your setup and get a better video card.

    Q8200 vs.E8400?

    What video card are you using? I'm interested in seeing what you get that chip to run stable at. Subscribing.

    Ram Too Slow

    Q9300 at 3.30ghz

    It seems like I can never get my Q9300 system stable at anything above factory speeds. I finally got it in windows a while back and used it for a while at 3.30ghz but it was never real stable. I would like to get my system to run at anything over 3ghz and be stable and I'd be happy. I...

    Unstable With 8GB

    I can't get my computer stable with 8gb of ram installed. I looked on Centons site, they say the ram runs at 1.81v. The lowest my MB has is 1.92 and it won't even boot at that. Any suggestions would help a lot. My MB is an Asus P5N-E and the ram is Centon 4x2gb 800mhz ddr2. Is...

    Where to buy WD 640GB HDD?

    Mine were bubble wrapped together, but the way it was done there was no way that they could be damaged in shipping. Everyone mentions the drives that are DOA but you have to remember that everytime someone gets a good one they don't get on here and post about it. It could be 100 drives out of...

    Q9300 Overclock

    According to what these guys have said, and what I've gathered elsewhere is that you'll most likely have to bump the vcore to get 3ghz

    Ram Issues with 8GB and Asus

    My uncle and I built the same exact setups. It turns out I got a bad stick of ram, but his are all good. He can run 6gb but not 8gb. It locks up a lot with 8gb in it. Its Centon pc6400 2x2gb. I dont see a part number on it though. Could it just be a low voltage issue with the ram?

    Where to buy WD 640GB HDD?

    I read that also, but.. I just built a computer and my uncle built the exact same setup. We both ordered our wd 640aaks's from Newegg. They were packaged very good, and we got 4 total. They work flawlessy.

    Q9300 Overclock

    Okay, Thanks for the help GuitarDaddy. I set it to unlinked and 800mhz. I then set my FSB back to 1600. When it booted it was at 3.0ghz but it stopped at the post screen. I reset it and when it posted it was back at 2.5ghz. About 1560fsb is as high as I've gotten without it doing that...

    Q9300 Overclock

    I looked at the package and can't find where it says about a voltage. I'm going to dig around on Centons website. http://i271.photobucket.com/al...ump1000/Untitled-2.jpg I overclocked it to 1600fsb and upped the voltage but it was showing 2.5ghz in windows. Right now its set at 1550fsb...

    Q9300 Overclock

    I have the ram speed set to linked. That one stick is the only one that doesnt work, so it has to be bad. I will check the voltage like you say though. I can put that one piece in and it won't work even by itself. Only get the BSOD

    That is an odd problem. I think you should contact acer. I have an acer laptop also but you have to hold down the fn button to get the blue keys to work.

    Vista Performance Test with New Build

    The ram just seems a little slow, and this is overclocked. It helped the ram out a little from the extra fsb. It seems to be stable at this speed though. I just wanted some opinions overall and maybe about why the ram is slow. My friend has an E6400 system with 2gb and his scores 5.1 on the...

    q9300 multiplier

    I also have a q9300 with an Asus p5n-e board. I set my fsb to 1400 and my multiplier to 7. Thats as high as my multiplier will go also, even though its suppose to be 7.5. Its running at 2.63ghz right now, so thats a little faster than what its suppose to be.

    A new build

    I dont have much to add, but I definitely think you'll be better off going with the E8400 for a gaming setup. I think 4Gb ram and a 64bit OS would be worth the investment when spending that much money.

    I have two BFG Tech 8800GTS 640mb cards installed, with the SLI cable. I installed the newest drivers and it doesnt say anywhere in the software anything about SLI. I think theres an issue because one of the cards is showing as a 8800GTX for some reason. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Q9300 DDR2 or DDR3 for 1333 FSB?

    I think with ddr2 800 ram, you'll have some room to overclock too if you want. Thats what I've gathered anyways. I just ordered a q9300, 8gb ddr2 800 and an Asus p5ne mb. The fsb is confusing at first because you think the ram speed needs to match the fsb of the cpu. Theres a thread about...

    The Unofficial ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Board Thread

    I just bought this board and a q9300. Is there any known compatibility issues. I didnt know for sure if they'd work together, but I seen where a few guys have that combo so I went with it.
