Nice job panging!! What are your MCH/Dram ref,Ch.A and B ref's set to, to get 500fsb? How did you set the clock skew? I needed 1000/1000/0/50 and OC1200. Unsure what long term use at these settings will do to the board, cpu or ram. Was the only way I could get it Prime/LinX stable.

for my DDR3 board, as of now, all of Ref. voltages are set to the same values on the left colume in bios,
and yep i've been seeing you guys use 1000/1000/0/50,
but i use 800/900/0/0 for 500fsb, above 500 to 525fsb 900/900/0/0,
i did try 1000/1000/0/0 for my 530x8.5 but later on i changed back to use 900/900/0/0.
my DDR3 board and Q9550 won't boot with any setting at NB clock skew.
and however, my system is not thoroughly tested with program like IBT/LinX yet.

for my E8400's to boot above 600fsb i used to use 900/900 and CPU/NB 200ps/100ps and sometimes i had to try using Dram clock skew.


and, for anyone's information...
the DDR3 board seems to have problem booting "500FSB strap 333 5:8 DDR3-1600" if you install your ram's on the 2 pink colours slots only,
i have not seen any problem with the green colours one.
(no problem with anything above or below 500FSB, no problem with 500FSB strap 333 1:2 DDR3-2000 nor any other straps)
