:D Best board I ever owned. Board is in stock condition all on air, CPU on water - only did the Vdroop pencil mod.

Volts are PLL 1.50, FSB 1.30, NB 1.55, Vmem 2.38:

:D Yep, this is 24/7 - with multi 8 the chip achieves even 4Ghz at 1.44 volts.

I really hope for true power with the Penryn - I'll get my QX9650 end of this week......:)

Can you tell me what bios and the bios settings you are using?? Board is being really screwey with my E6850... can't boot over 470fsb but occasionally can get into windows at 495fsb and when I do it's orthos stable:confused: E6600 was fine orthos stable at 500 all the time (and that chip had fsb wall at 503fsb...lol)

:rolleyes: Try to increase NB voltage, up to 1.55 is save. I'm using 0303 BIOS
as You can see in my screen above.

Maybe it is Your E6850 - I also used an E6850, doing 4GHz prime at 1.408 volts but had a bad FSB wall, boot up to 492 and stable in Windows only up to 488.
