How do those swiftech kits perform buck? I love the aspect of the pump and block being together, such a space / money saver.

I've been using the same pump/block unit that BuckNasty has on my p35 for well over a year now. My E6750 Conroe cranks along at 3.6 GHz, 450 FSB and it NEVER hits 40c. All this with a 120mm HW labs Black Ice Extreme X-flow rad. Here's a screen shot of temps while folding.



I can recommend this pump/block combo to anyone with a cramped case (like me). The pump is just as Tigger describes it. A DCC 3.1. The block is the old Swiftech Apogee. I purchased mine for $79 which is quite a deal considering. Also, I have experienced none of the vibration issues Tigger mentioned. But he's not alone. I've read of other people having a similar experience.

And a tip of the hat to Ketxxx, I'm running an xspc block on my Northbridge. :cool:

M2F poor cooling strikes again??


Keep the VRM's cool with a fan over the top of them or at least blowing somewhere near them....too hot and you will get random crashes or they will just die in time.

Yeah, the chipset cooling on the Deluxe is no better. The Enzotech sinks worked wonders for me.

NB cooling on my scantily clad pro is fine too, as we speak its at a cool 28*C.

would any of you gents know the safest voltage to run through a P5Q northbridge?? Im gonna make my 3rd attempt at getting 4Ghz (lols) I recken thats what was holding me back last time but it completely slipped my mind completely.

When i did my 4.05Ghz runs I always left the NB / SB voltages to auto and never had a single issue. Just tweaked CPU / ram voltages.

I was pointed this way by mlee49 in need of a new MB for my rig and Asus is my brand of choice i had a few ? about the P5Q series that hopefully you guys can answer.

Before i get to the questions here's whats going into it,the E6400 and this pos P5NSLI where given to me and i recently bought some future proof ram to get away from my Opteron rig .
E6400~ZALMAN CNPS9500
OCZ REAPER HPC DDR2 1066 @ 5-5-5-18 2.2v 2x2Gb
9800GTX + SSC
X-Fi Fatality pci
2 ATA drives
1 WD raptor 150
Silverstone 750W psu 60A rail 8pin cpu ect

So ill start with the questions.
1. What version of the board should i get -E, Pro turbo, Deluxe, Premium? im leaning towards the -e
2. Will the cpns9500 clear the heatsinks on this board ?
3. How well does it clock with the older core2 cpu's ? I do plan on upgrading in the future.
4. Will it play nice with my ram configuration?
5. Has anyone tried Win 7 X64 ? My biggest issue besides not being able to get near 300mhz fsb with this board is Win7 x64 don't work on this P5NSLI, Ethernet issues so i lose out on 1gb of ram :(.

Thanks in advance for looking over this and hopefully answering some of my ?

Stuff I've gleaned from reading this thread with regards your questions:
The E rarely has functioning LLC, if you want to be getting really good overclocks you'd be best off getting the Deluxe I think as Ket's modded the BIOS loads which is meant to help.
They seem to overclock pretty well with Q6600s which are just two older C2D CPUs strapped together.
No idea about your RAM Q, check the ASUS website would be your best bet.
Win 7X64 worked nicely on my desktop before my hard disk went kablooie, Alex has been running it for ages with minimal issues too.

I dont think the llc really matters,not for me anyway.I figured the -E was the best compromise twixt price and features for me.And it is a very fine overclocking board,and supremely reliable.

Batou: I'll try to answer at least some of your questions.

1.) Can't really say anything, only one I've had is this Pro. But It's good as long as you strap on a fan yo the NB heatsink. It gets quite hot.

2.) Heatsink clearance is nice, I don't recall anyone having trouble with the P5Q's.

3.) Dunno :(

4.) It should. The ram slots aren't too close to the cpu, and your cooler should be mounted so, that there's plenty room. And Reapers should work just fine. Do use Ket's bios though, they rock!

5.) Running 7 x64 RC and no problems whatsoever. Rock solid oc too. 422 FSB, and peeps are running 500 without problems.

I can answer about hsf clearance, I've got the bigger 9700 and there is tons of room. Also, had a weird issue with installing, but it did, and win7 64 runs like a dream on this board! As soon as I got it, I flashed Ket's modded bios on it, and my mushkin ram runs perfect with it, although I have no idea about OCZ stuff. It took my e8400 right to 3.6ghz at stock volts, but I'll have to learn how to oc this thing to go above 3.6.... The NB on my pro stays pretty cool with that heat pipe, but I've got piles of fans on my box.

Well, now am at 3.7 24/7 stable. My gtx280 went from 12k 3dmark06 to 16.5k. Haven't tried vantage, but at 3.6 I went from 13k to 15.1k. My games are all more stable, and of course faster. Tweaking this thing is a pain compared to amd, but the results are worth it!
