No, you're not the only one who think this is high! I was wondering if I was the only one who thought it was BS as well LOL!

As far as I know the NB measure point is the same as the P35.

They will fit on P35 / X38 and probably also X48

would the mips block set be worth it? (north / south / volt reg)? I want to watercool and thought that maybe a whole set might be a good idea?

thanks C-n, i went through the whole thread and i think it was post #895 has all the pics for all the volt readings :D

I believe that the mips PWM block isn't to great. I dont feel like digging up the thread from the water cooling forum, but it is in there if you search (relatively recent thread). I am waiting for EK water blocks.

Where are you guys connecting the SATA DVDrom drives? Sata ports 1-6 (ICH8) or 7-8 (JMicron ACHI)?

$330 is crazy it was only $279.99 at newegg before they ran out.

They are $276.99 at MotherboardPro and will be in stock on the 14th. Over a 1000 posts in this thread and people have to pick one almost 2 months old to complain about a price that isn't even valid now.

Thanks guys I will install the SATA DVDrom now, as the IDE's cause the board to act weird....

Anyone here with Q6600 that could help me find the max safe temps?

I'm running OCCT and my Q6600 is peaking 65oC on Smartguarding and 63 on Core Temp 0.95. Room temps: 70oF or 21oC.

CPU temp add of +7 on BIOS. Voltage and FSB etc as follow:

Is that ok? I have an Asetek 03-L-1349 Kit Waterchill Dual 120mm Xtreme just for the CPU...

gotta give 'em props for reading the whole damn thing though.

So, I am just starting my work week, won't be able to play till Monday. Now that NB volts are fixed, going to go for the elusive 4GHZ stable Q6600.

I picked up a new Q6600 from Fry's a 40B vid is 1.2 and is doing 3.6 crunching @ 1.35V, which I may be able to drop, but have not had a chance to really play.

I am still trying to wrap my head around the bios settings. All the memory subtiming, gtl ref voltage, etc... Big learning curve for me. 14 months cursed with 680i, kinda set in my ways.

Will these "beta" bios' support a e8500? It's getting close to release.
