OT: What's the current market price for this board? I heard different prices around.

How does the FSB strap effect the overclocking? I just hantam set it to 266.

The floppy connector, necessary to plug in? What's it for?

Hmm, will try it out when go back and and try lower my vcore, see how it goes then.

Ish, such bad luck this day. Now my board's LAN isn't functionting well. After a restart, Windows prompt me to reinstall ethernet controller, but unable to. A force dirver install will prompt me the device cannot be start, an error occured. Reformat Windows is a no go as well. Wanna ask if Alphamatic got any 1 to 1 exchange for goods that is less than a week old?

Cellshock RAMs are good man. Their results are really impressive. Wonder if anyone owns G.Skill GBHZ here?

Any vcore above 1.4v will make CPU-Z unable to detect properly. Its a bug.

Only 650i and 680i chipset can let you do unlinked settings.

Don't tipu ppl here lar.

Infinity vdroop is good, very little, mine is around 0.012v. Asus board has great vdroop all this while on every mobo.

CPU-Z will only read vcore <1.4v real. Any value higher than that will shows you 1.2v++. You can use ASUS Probe for Asus mobo or Smart Guardian for DFI. Also, Speedfan is another choice for every mobo.

@Joseph Hahn

Tried set NB strap to 266 and lower down your NB voltage. I don't think need over 1.4v. My FSB is 457Mhz and my NB voltage is at default.

Orthos results sometime are random, I would prefer OCCT to ensure better stability.

Even with same batch, not all will perform the same. Some random not even famous can outperforms good batch. yehlai's E6600ES can do 3.8Ghz, my previous E6600ES can't even do 3.4Ghz well.

It won't kill the processor, will just make the system unable to boot. Only high voltage apply will kill off with tremendous heat.

Manage to pull off a decent SuperPI. Will try more, aiming 3.5Ghz and above.

On full load, vcore is at 1.376v.

irangan stated this board is still not compatible with E6850 using newest bios. No sure other. Some other forums can run this board with E6750 ES, but not retail. Still yet to see if P965 can support FSB1333.

Raymond, can ask your friend to overclock the proc? Wanna know worth or not changing to E6750 though with the 8x multiplier.

Wah, what vcore and temp? Still thinking whether to change or not. Any comments bro? How's your Q6600 doing? Overclock till how "godly" already?

Hmm, but only if you have an extra proc that is. What you need to take note is that not all proc will have the same overclockability. So pumping enough vcore is needed as well.
