I am using Mushkin XP2-5300 Xtreme Performance Black Series RAM (2x1GB) but it's unlinked from the FSB. It's running at DDR2-700MHz at 3-3-3-10-1 at 2.2V. These settings worked perfectly on my old ASUS P5WD2E-Premium board, so I doubt this would be the problem unless there is some strange compatibility issue.

    Any thoughts on why I can't even get spec FSB?

    You cant simply set what you had in a completly different platform and expect things to be fine. Re overclock everything and see what works and what doesnt.

    Remember you are ona comletly different memory controller, meaning different things will be the keys to high stable clocks.

    no I haven't confirmed with a meter, but based upon stability tests to some extent I think the bios read is probably close. I set vcore to 1.6375 in bios and in bios it reads actual 1.58- 1.59v. Based on thw last MB I had the 6800 in. the ws-pro, the stable vcore seems to be more in line with the actual bios reads on both. The ws-pro over volted. I haven't found a "reliable" way to read the actual vcore in windows yet. (certainly not with ntune)

    are those MB that sent to reviewers for review belong to "ES" -- handpick sample so should perform well than retail? this remind me of wat happened to Abit Mb

    My max 1T stable memory frequency is 770MHz.
    I don't check my PMs very often.

    Well aside from Asus and DFI, dunno about Abit.. since the avail 680i boards are reference boards, im sure some new bios's will be out by the end of the week to bring the clocks up. I dont think Nvidia wants their best Intel chipset looking like crap, especially since the G80s are avail and they want SLI support on the fastest desktop chips. I think you guys will get your boards clocking high in few weeks.

    Asus Striker.... This E6600 CPU would not boot past 449FSB on the EVGA with p20 BIOS. This was the first boot on the Asus board with the same CPU.

    Bingo13,

    Some questions for you.

    How high can you get the FSB with a 9 multiplier?
    Retail or ES?
    Can you confirm max CPU voltage in bios, heard 1.6v and 1.9v

    Thank You ahead of time.

    Read his posts above he has gotten to 444FSB with x9 multi. But maybe CPu is holding him back. And its a retail board.

    I should have worded it differently, was asking if the 444FSB with a 9 multi was the limit for his chip, or the board.

    Hope that helps clear it up, sorry for the confusion.

    EVGA 680i with bios P19.

    nTune (manually adj. for the mobo dont work)...the rest of nTune is OK.

    8x multi up to 444.5 FSB is OK.

    445 up to 465 No boot.

    466.6 FSB everything OK.
    I will try for more if my cpu can handle it.

    @Phil
    MEM @800 (UNLINKED) works fine 4-3-2-4 1T.

    Awesome what are your memory timings? Is that an untweaked run?

    good to see asus delivering on this.

    Would anyone who has had decent results with a reference board be able to post the voltages they used for each component? I really don't know what the limits are for this board. Are you using stock cooling for everything but the CPU?
