Asus P5N32-E SLI (680i chipset). It was not delivered yesterday because it required a signature and nobody was home. I tried to setup with UPS to pick it up after it went back to their office but my phone for some reason didn't say I had voicemail and it was after 8pm (closed) :mad: I'll have to wait until probably Tuesday morning or possibly Monday night.Quote:

If you aren't SLI initially, and I'm not real sure on this one, set LinkBoost off in the BIOS, I think it was giving me problems when I was using a single vidcard. The new BIOS may have fixed the issue. The default Vdimm is only 1.9, so if your memory requires a higher voltage remember to set it in the BIOS. You're going to luv the 680i chipset and BIOS, extremely easy to OC, especially if you have SLI-Ready memory. If you hit a snag, let me know, I might have hit it too. Regards ...Quote:

Go for it! Seems your card does well.Quote:

Yeah, its got voltage droop just like all the rest. CPU-Z and the nVidia monitor pretty much agree on that too.Quote:

Looks like a winner. Actual BIOS settings are 1.3125v. My other chip needed 1.475v for this. I need to finish cleaning my waterblock so I can put a little more into it.
