Problem fixed. I found out it was the case grounding the mobo out.
Noob mistake, but then again I am a noob.
Thanks guys!

It would be good to see a few other people successfully running Wolfdales on this board before concluding that it now works. I'd like to upgrade to an e8500 but am hesitant to do so without being sure.
I've tried the 1.7 bios with e8500 and the system doesn't post
I do not know if they are going to release a new bios version but...I'm really disappointed
I'm thinking to return the E8500 for a Q6600.
Has anybody used Q6600 on P6N Platinum?
Are there any known incompatibility issues?
Using a Q6600 on my SLI-FI and its been great . No problems what so ever .
Hey Donovan, you may be interested my wolfdale oc post. Now I'm GPU restrained with the single 8800gt. I'm wondering what your 3dmark06 difference was between single and sli 8800gts, and whether you got a full bump reverting to 8x pci-e. Trying to decide whether to replace or add. Thanks!Bump for any new wolfdale tests...

Enviable problem, vgame64! If it were me, I would bend the pins--slowly and gently! Should be soft metal and bendable. (I've had to do this before on other MBs.) Try an unused pin to test first. Remember to unplug the PSU.I can't fit two GTX 280's on this board due to the case connectors. Boo. Any solutions besides changing the video card cooler or changing mobos? I don't want to bend the connector pins on the mobo or anything like that.
Thanks
I have this build and is not posting.

I didnt read this thread before otherwise i would've choosen a different cpu and ram.
Can the cause for not posting be the cpu and the ram?
Would the q6600 post with no problem ? How about the e2180? Or what other cpu would post with original bios ?

Anybody???
I guess not...Nobody has replied in over a week in this thread...
Hi there,
some days ago i bought an Intel E8400 and a 2GB RAM upgrade for my PC...
There was no doubt for me that the E8400 will work on my P6N SLI Mainboard because i checked the CPU table before...
I put the cpu onto my board and got no post.
Well i thought it might be the old BIOS Version (i never updated it...) so i made an BIOS Update and tried again. And again i became no Post screen. Then i put the new E8400 onto the Asrock 4Core SATA2 Board from my second PC to see if the CPU works. Yes it did (not with the full speed but with 2.4GHz cause of the lower FSB support on Asrock board). After this cognition i started an internet search with the keywords "MSI P6N" and "E8400" - the result was this thread. I read a lot and tried a lot (voltage workaround) but all that didnt help.
I had a really loooOng Sunday and tried to get the E8400 work on my board all day long => no chance.
I am really really annoyed of MSI.
My board is the second product i bought from this company and its the second product which makes massive problems. (the other one was the first release of the msi nx7800LE if anybody knows ;-) )
One week ago a friend of mine wanted to buy some new components to upgrade his pc, too. before all those happenings i recommend him the MSI P6N SLI Series as good mobos but now i am disabused. He bought an E8400 too - he would have killed me if the configuration which i told him would´nt work, cause i am the consultant expert for him in pc questions...
I called him yesterday and made a new config with another mainboard manufacturer (Asrock).
I think i ll go to my local dealer today and buy an ASUS P5N-D for mine.
Never MSI again! I think they are lying and the support is really mad. (read the thread here, then u know what i mean - i made nearly the same experience with MSI tech support.)
Back to the NX7800LE story - there was no support at all... MSI put it in there product archive on the website within some weeks after the release....(well known that the product was faulty ex works)
Never again!
Wow, this thread is still alive? 18 months later.....?
My MSI P6N SLI FI was missing the back i/o plate anybody here was one that i could buy?
Please let me know.
