Asus P5N-E SLI overclock

[Murena]

Hello,

So I have the P5N-E SLI with a 650iSLI in Northbridge. It does max of 800MHz RAM PC6400 therefore. So for the overclock I am obliged not to exceed this frequency is not it?
So I must be unlinked and set the ram at 800MHz.

So I can mount my E4300 at 3.06 GHz ...

It's silly because I have a PC8500! I bought an E8500. I wanted to know if it's still going to block me that the CM does not mount to more than 800MHz for the ram.

Another thing, I have a RAID 0 of 3 SD. A change of motherboard I have to format the discs 3 and repeat the manip for a RAID?

Thank you!

Hi,

No problem to mount above 400Mhz FSB. It is precisely the interest of these motherboards. If you are unlinked, the frequency of your memory is not linked to the FSB. therefore you can give completely different values to both.

On the other hand, it is likely that the board agree to rise higher frequency memory (even if it's written in the 800MHz max specifications)

In fact the maximum of 800Mhz for the memory is just for official support. It has nothing to do with the possibility of overclock

The P5N-E SLI is perfectly capable of RAM to run more than 400Mhz on 450Mhz playable and maybe the 500 with a little luck.

However the fact desynchronizing the RAM with the FSB has no impact on performance. So if you arrive to stabilize beyond a certain frequency is not afraid to de-sync, on the contrary

A E4300 beyond 3Ghz is not as evident as it looks. I think you reach the limits of CPU before those of the motherboard. My E4300 was never sand beyond 3.1Ghz. This CPU overclock easily but still a bit of trouble with the FSB too high.

For the E8500 I think you will be able to mount already high enough for it to send well

The trick is that when I mount the RAM over 800MHz ca start. So I thought that the motherboard only accepts the blocks PC6400 RAM frequency to 800MHz. Then for the processor, I think I'm at max with 3.06 GHz, above the plant.

Thank you for the info
