Hey Talonman, I've been admiring your thread here plus the Maximus Formula WC thread (I am VERY tempted to go to the WC side of the force)

Anyway, my experience with the Q6600 with the Maximus Formula so far is that I could get a higher FSB and more stable RAM with the 400 strap than the 333. For some reason either my RAM or my mobo didn't like the 333.

Even now when I'm testing my E8400, the RAM doesn't work on anything but AUTO.
My Q6600 was at 3.6 on air, but it would max out around 65-70 degrees at load. 40C must be nice!
