The best candidates are still Blitz xtreme, P5K3 dlx (both discontinued :(), asus evolution and maybe a gem 790i
For the time being the safe bet for wolfdale extreme overclocking there's only one candidate, the Asus P5E64 WS Evolution.
Stunning board, great performance, and extremely high average FSB overclocks.
The P45 stars aka P5Q Deluxe, P5Q3 Deluxe, Biostar Tpower i45 and Gigabyte GA-EP45-DQ6 & GA-EP45T Extreme can reach high FSBs as well, but with the DDR3 issues at the moment they're not your best option.
Plus, the average FSB overclock "yields" are higher for the P5E64 WS Evolution. ( I've tested 11 CPUs on my P5Q3 Deluxe sample the last 4 days and I haven't managed to get a single CPU stable for 32M @ 600MHz FSB no matter what ( yes, it could be my bad luck on both the CPUs and motherboard picking ).
My hopes for high FSBs with the 790i are now gone, since my best stable FSB overclock on the Striker II Extreme is 575MHz, and the average is around 550MHz...
Can somebody tell me why there is a difference between the to programs
what is the speed of my memory?
I have a single stick 1X2GB OCZ Platinum edition, and I keep getting BSOD in Vista. Has anyone here managed to stabilize this memory on the P5Q3 Deluxe yet?
Keep everything on "auto" include vdram if you over clock change just cpu volt
manuel timing

904?Quote:

Im not handing the 0904 out, please don't PM me for it. I was asked to test and not leak the bios, so it stays that way until Asus say its ok to distribute it.
What is with you guys and the Evo board, its just a cut down P5E3 Premium on the whole, is it not better to just use the daddy board and not the offspring?
we love the challange! it is like masochism. :)
its more to do with manufacturers trusting each other, if someone tells me to test but not leak thats what i do, if they say test and leak out for you guys thats what i do.
Im not here to p155 anyone off.
i do understand it, Tony! :)
looks good! E8400 @ 3.6

This bios works for me.

Test at your own risk, not official but most likely will be.
Post feedback please.
im using the 904 now.
Weird issue on overclock. if i completely shut down and boot back up, sometimes my OC doesnt stay. Like it was say Overclocking failed, press F1. Any insight too this? This was even before the 904 BIOS
this could happen when vdimm or vcore do not reach a voltage level needed to post.Quote:

It's not a memory/system bandwidth related option mate.
I have an idea to test this option, and I'm also waiting for info from my contact.
Alright. Then I have something to go off there. Thanks!Quote:

I don't know what a safe Vcore would be with this E8400, and for the NB. Apparently my screen shots were not stable. Prime 95 would error out in about 10 seconds.
Right now I'm at 3.6 with a 9 Multiplier, and auto NB voltage. VCore at 1.25 this seems stable. I would like to get close to 4GHz but not sure what to do. Am I missing a setting?
HALP!! haha
vNB 1.36v is not high at all. Run your CPU at stock speed with AUTO voltage, then run CPU-Z or Real Temp and find out your VID. Once you post that, I think people can get a clearer picture of what your CPU voltage settings could be for a higher OC.Quote:
