1. Do I need to do any bridge tricks or anything to get these two to play nice?

My board maxes around 213 fsb and thats with a healthy dose of vdd so not looking for anything 220+ or nothing, that would be sweet.

and 2. At high fsbs, my board seems to flake after while. I'm thinking heat issue of some kind. Where should I heatsink?

I'm thinking all my mosfets near my cpu and that chip above them. But shouldnt I be doing something near my nb? There is a mosfet down there but anything else. I'm adding a fan to the side of my case b/c waterblocks have eliminated much flow.

Thanks. Chip in the mail. I'll post my results/steppings.
