Mine is rock stable at 8x400 with my E6420 at stock vcore, 1.75 Vmch and 2x1GB Ballistix 5300 @ 5:4, 4-4-4-12 (left RAM slack to test the CPU/NB) however even 1 or 2 MHz over the 400 FSB and it fails Orthos/OCCT in mins or seconds.
This is with 13 beta and 15 offical BIOS, using 1333 strap. I v-modded for Vmch drop and watercooled the NB but no improvement at all. There is a wall somewhere on this board, but I still love it

I am happy with mine. I haad thought about one of the P35 boards, but it seems that this one will hang close to them.

I am wondering whether a BIOS change will help me get the FSB higher, since my CPU is still at stock vcore at 3.2 GHz and I reckon it would be nice to get more.
In people's experiences what is the best BIOS for consistently hitting the highest FSBs?

I got one of these boards and put a qx6700 in it.It will post the video card bios,then when it should start the post it just restarts.Should it at least post even if it's got a older bios?I just want to try and rule out bad chip or to low of power supply(ocz700,generic pci video card).
