hey, everyone i got a 64 bit disk to work:yepp::yepp: i guess the computer just couldnt "recongize" that specific disk but i decided to try one more vista 64 bit ultimate and guess what it worked... so yea. i also did some over clocking. here are some screenshots
im not sure if were suppose to resize images so

btw what is the tj max of an e8500
i here some people say that it use to be 95 but went up and then people say intel is just wrong.:confused:
tjmax for the 45nm chips is 100c but whether it is 95 or 100 is a bit irrelevant- You certainly don't want to ever get there :).
true. but when my tj max is 100 or 105. my temps go "up". like real temp and core temp say then are ten degres higher than if my tj max was 95
screenshots funny? and the disk wasnt bad it just wouldnt work on my computer. but thats besides the fact. im just happy i got it to work.
Hello,
Wanna see if any one is experiencing a similar problem as I am. I can OC fine to 4.2Ghz and run orthos stable, but when I reboot or shutdown, I get no video feed from the comp and have to reset CMOS in order to redo the OC and get back in. If this is common, please let me know any fix. If you need my settings, let me know also. Thanks.
Im pretty happy with this motherboard. I have 3.8GHz stable and its all good so far. Im sure that if I get some better memory Ill reach 4GHz :up: I think it is possible to lower the volts a little bit more but for now Ill leave it as it is. Thanks to Grnfinger for helping me out with the settings and getting me closer to stability:)

I just ordered one of these with a e8400, ill be letting you all know how i do OC wise :D
Got my board Thursday and am in the process of bleeding my loops now. I used my MCW30 temporally until Swiftech comes out with their NB cooler for this board's heatpipe system next week. Eddy @ EK Waterblocks told me the he will have a block in production soon also. My NB heatsink was only making partial contact to the copper core. The NB had "two" washers on the back of the board where as all other screws had one washer each. I replaced their TIM with MX-2 on the NB and SB. Righ now my NB temp is 32c @3.2Ghz 1.29v. Ambient is 22.4c. This is one damn fine looking board, now if it only overclocks as well as it looks. :up:

One thing that I do not understand is why they supplied backplates for the Mosfet blocks on the Deluxe but not this board? :shrug:
Id have to say this is one sexy board :D http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3206/...b51008dc_b.jpg
Yeah, I didn't understand the lack of mosfet backplates either. I just transfered the back plates from my P5Q-D onto this board. You could always just pick up two from Performance-PC's, the EK mosfet backplates for the 3a's should work, right?
Now start turning in some numbers!
:D
Yes I have two EK Asus 3a blocks and I am waiting on some TIM pads from JabTech. Also my DVD was BLANK! Not a damn thing burned on it! :shakes: Now I need to get a DVD mailed to me from Newegg. Luckily the P5Q Deluxe is the same basic board and it used all of its drivers. I downloaded some stuff but want the DVD that I paid for.
When I get the time I will create a template and an Excel spreadsheet for this MB.

If i m gonna use this board with Q9550 E0 do u think i ll need more than a Cpu and NB water block cooling? I aim for 4Ghz hopefully so is mosfet cooling recommended. I ask cause i cant find any mosfet air cooling at all here in Greece.
I think i ll still on my EK S-Max. Reason 1: Dont want to spend more money, i dont think there will be much difference in performance. Reason 2: If the Swiftech block is going to be released in US next week, then it will reach greek market probably, lets say, next year maybe :ROTF:
