Thats my adventure so far. I can hit 3.0 stable & not go over 60C under normal conditions @ stock voltage with only a bump in multipler. I've actually found that Doom3 hits 60C & keeps temp rising..only game to do so. On friday I ordered a ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 64 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler hoping to be able to increase voltage & keep temps down. Myself the moment I increase the voltage temps raise like the devil.

Luck on the ocing mate

i need a new CPU cooler, my problem is i cant seem to raise voltages above 1.39V. BIOS wont let me go higher than 1.35!

little upset. Flashed bios to see if that helped, nothing.

That's weird, ASUS usually opens up things in the BIOS. Are you sure you don't have the M2N-SLI Deluxe? I helped a friend build a computer with that a few years back, but I'm not sure about how far his voltages went. It doesn't look like the BIOS updates really opened up anything other than CPU updates. If you don't want to do pencil mods and the BIOS doesn't allow it, you might be stuck. :ohwell:

that is odd kyle..i could do upto 1.8v...dumb question but you sure that isnt the NB or SB voltage or something?

Didn't even think about that! That's definitely what it sounds like coming to think about it...

Strange, I have a M2N-SLI Deluxe. I flashed the BIOS a while ago. I didn't look what the max volts were before hand. Currently I know I can go over 1.5v (Didn't scroll all the way down, lol), but I suspect as Sol said, you can go up to 1.8v (might need the liquid nitrogen then, lol).

Try flashing the newest BIOS with Ezflash from Asus If that doesnt work, then that's weird.

100% its a regular M2N - basically in bios the max it lets me select is 1.35V, and then if i use crystal CPUID it only lets me go up to 1.39. me be confused :confused:

and the bios flash didnt change anything.

Solaris17 · May 17, 2008

?..wtf? thats totally unheard of iv never seen this problem b4 odd...can you take a pic of your bios for me?

i certainly can, back in 5

Squirrely · May 17, 2008

Yeah, a pic would help if you have a camera.

Also on my BE I got to 3ghz, but its hard to go past there. I really have to start cranking up the voltage to get past 3ghz. I toned mine back though to 2.8. Runs cool, and on stock voltage as well. The mem is at 400mhz as well, since the divider is 7.

kyle2020 · May 17, 2008

bios cpu bit:

cpu voltage bit:

to get to 1.39 or so i have to use crystalcpuid, then i can raise the multi to 14x too. help!

Solaris17 · May 17, 2008

?..............wow...just wow its almost like you have a locked bios..or it isnt the right one...try auto..maybe the AI is smart enough to scale up.

its annoying and frustrating, but ill try auto, or ill contact ASUS. :banghead:

MainframeTM · May 17, 2008

Yeah mine is a Motherboard: ASUS M3A AM2+/AMD 770 ATX & it allowed me to have more options for scaling..though I can't do the +1/-1 changes..just the jumps from like 1.3 - 1.325 - 1.350 etc

mines the same, just wont let me go above 1.39 :banghead:

taken from the motherboard box:

"M2N-SLI Motherboard".

why do you ask? please say you have a solution! haha.

cdawall · May 17, 2008

looking for voltmods

cant find anythign for the M2N-sli...

if you find something, ill kiss your feet. haha. thanks so much!!!!

cdawall · May 17, 2008

i can only find delux/e volt mods

you could do one direct to the cpu

how? explain please?

Wait he cant do a pencil mod but you think he is equiped for a BSEL mod cdawall?

you never explained what a pencil mod was haha . . .

sneekypeet · May 17, 2008

yes I did , you need a pencil and a Digital Multi Meter to read resistance....scrub a bit of pencil on the right resister and measure resistance again. Dependidng on the difference of the two measurements....which should be kept very close for experimentation, you could raise the stock voltage of the CPU with the mobo not the BIOS!

In essence its drawing with a pencil, measuring, and using 91% alcohol to clean it off if you have went to far!

Warning ahead of time:
All of what we are saying outside the realm of software does have a chance of going wrong. If done carefully and correctly, theese issue are really nill at all!

kyle2020 · May 17, 2008

may i also ask, i have seen it in a few peoples screenshots before, but can AMDoverdrive be used with a 5000+ BE? i downloaded it, but upon opening it it said it didnt reckognise my chip type or something, and the second time it just BSOD me. anyone know?
