Looks good, I'd like to see what your temps look like. Not sure but it looks like you have 2 GTX280's on the board? I assume you know this and did it for photo purposes but its a crossfire board it wont run SLi.

What Ballsitix 2 x 2GB kit do you have, the tracers or tracer reds? 1130 MHz 5-4-4-12 @ 2.1v is pretty nice. What can they do at 5-5-5-15 @ 2.1v?

On a lighter note, it looks like your lounge is made by nvidia ;)

Nice is that stable? I'd like to see what kind of FSB you can get stable with your chip, I remember its a great batch (Q822A435).

With all mobos getting high FSB is much easier w/ dual-cores. MIIF will easily get 500FSB w/ a wolfie.

Getting 500FSB w/ a quad is what is difficult on any mobo.

You cannot compare FSB results b/n duallies and quads...they are apples and oranges.

Guys

A quick question, i have a raid 0 made on the MF2, i will go for the Giga P45 UD3P, do i have to build the raid again ?

Thank you :up:

If it is on the ICH10R, then i think you don't have to do that.

No you won't. I've done this since the ICH5R days (2003) and you just install the new motherboard then remember to set the RAID option in your BIOS (known by different names unfortunately, but you'll find it for sure). You can always make a backup to be on the safe side. Windows will even load without re-installation unless there's a new driver issue that crops up related to other components on the new motherboard. All in all I wouldn't worry too much about this, just remember if one hard drive fails (i.e. you knock it real hard when rebuilding your PC) then all your data goes flop.

Hey guys,
Where is the overclocking guide by Simps on reaching 500FSB? I can't seem to find it.
Thanks.

Now that I got bored and decided to take off the heatsink from my formula to put some different paste on, and took the northbridge chip slightly off with it :( rma is otw, didnt have any trouble get that done, and finally have a reason to get me a MF2 which will be here monday. Cant wait for my MF2 to get here. Just hoped to get it under different circumstances.

Still tweaking, 4.2GHz was a easy goal, still testing max GHz and FSB.
Very pleased so far with the investment, grabed a Cosmos S case while I was there, it has been a fun weekend. Finally got my rad mounted inside a case!!!!

Asus is trying to fix the bugs with i7, altho the P5 just got a new bios
Last 2 emails from Asus have all been P6T and P5Q bios updates.
I hope to see a working bios to unleash the potential of this board but I'm not holding my breath.
One thing is for sure atleast Asus has been consistant on this board.

Sounds like M2F users haven't payed for BIOS support.:p: Although ASUS pays back with 2-3 crapy bioses on a row.:D

I think he meant Consistent, as in consistently NOT providing descent bios's, and consistently taking to long to finally provide a crappy bios. lol
