Why aren't more ppl using this board? As it seems as one of the best.

Well it's +1 for me. Just ordered it at last. I've had to order my dads rig, but he's paid me some back so it went straight into this board.Originally Posted by higgins
Just hope the Tuniq Tower has no probs with my 3 120x38mm Sanyo-Denki's in there now. Cos they are fat fans!!
*runs to have a look at some pics again*
It was a long road and one that is now over. Behold the updatedrig:
NEC MultiSync LCD20WGX2 20.1" Widescreen // Antec P182 GunMetal // OCZ StealthXstream 700w // Gigabyte EP45-UD3P //
Q9550 @ 3.44Ghz // Tuniq Tower 120 // Gainward GTX260 (896MB) @ 580/900 // 8GB OCZ PC2-8500C5 (OCZ2P10664GK) //
60GB OCZ Vertex 2 // 600GB WD VelociRaptor (WD6000HLHX)// 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F1 (HD103UJ) // RED Saitek Eclipse //
3x Sanyo-Denki 102.5cfm 120x38mm fan // 1x Delta 80cfm 80mm fan in modified 5.25" bay "Flipped" Sunbeam Rheobus //
1x Antec Tricool 120mm fan // 1x RED Akasa System Exhaust fan // RED Sunbeam Meteor lights // RED Razer Diamondback //
I ordered one to try too from ClubIT for 205usd. This E6400 has got more in it and I am not getting there with my P5W.
Nice one m8. I'm still worried about the Tuniq Tower. I've looked at some pics of someone with the TT120 on the P5B-D, but well... it'll be tight I know that. Looks like me buying a 120mm standard 25mm thick one again! - Just after I sold my Tricool! - Sods law.
but I'm not defeated yet! there's still a small chance it'll fit!

I'm going to try a Scythe Mine with a 120mm capable of up to 2.5k RPMs on the P5B Deluxe until I can get my hands on a Tuniq Tower 120. I've got all my system fans on Sunbeam 4 channel rheobus so I can dial them up as needed.
It's awesome to see folks like Sierra_bound hitting a 500+ FSB with these things on a 9x Multi. I hope the OC Gods smile on me and I get 3.8-4.0GHz myself.

Me too. But as this is my first major overclock, I really hope I can get 400FSB with not much pratting about.
I've got the rheobus in my P180 too! - 3x Sanyo-Denki's and 1x Delta 80mm fan all on there! I really really don't think the TT120 will fit with two 38mm thick fans there. I really don't!
I've also trawled through these forums, but can't find the point where the Conroe will need more volts. I've never touched volts through BIOS before at all, so pushing on stock is all I know.
Looks like I need a mentor

Well, M8 I don't consider myself a good role model as an overclocker. I am often overly eager and could fairly be accused of being recklessMe too. But as this is my first major overclock, I really hope I can get 400FSB with not much pratting about.

I am just using 25mm thick fans myself. They are intended for the Mine and the Ninja so I keep it simple.
I can tell you with both my E6700 and E6400 they will do up to 3.2GHz on stock voltage. To keep 3.3GHz they needed a slight bump in voltage. For 3.5GHz to 3.6GHz they need around 1.5v for both to keep it stable. The E6700 needs all of 1.6v to do 3.7GHz for some reason and my air cooling can not tame it. If I did as some of these other fellows and lost my case it might be a different story. A 425FSB @ an 8 x multi is alarmingly simple with my E6400, I don't have to start getting tricky til 435, and @ 439 I am pretty much done on this unmodded P5W DH D. I can boot 439 x 8 and that's it. If I desire more I have to resort to clockgen. I have been playing with a 450FSB @ an 8 x multi and may be able to get it stable tuning with MemSet. We will see.
I hope I have cause to proclaim, " Crikey! Have a go at that!" in the coming week for the right reasons. You know if Steve Irwin was into building his own rigs, he'd be an overclocker.
I'll post up my results with my P5B Deluxe for all to see later in the week in the Intel section. They won't be Xtreme and I hope respectable.
