i'm still using stock NB heatpipe heastink with stock TIM unchanged... just a fan over NB and cpu socket area will so drops in temps but depends on your room/case ambients.. i get MB temps between 27-36C load with 15-28+C night/day room temps.

Really weird. Time to RMA me thinks.

Edit: Board won't even POST anymore. Great...
with sata disks disappearing also check the PCI-E frequency that is set is 100 on reboot/exit from bios

Yeah I red about the CPU. Tried an X6800 same result.
DO those boards make any sound at all? Like beeps and such? I dont even get a beep out of it.

the only difference was higher FSB (495) for my Q6600 and higher memory bandwidth:

still about the same performance as the QuadGT which was limited to 410 FSB...except...the memory bandwidth.
not bad at all how's everest bandwidth look ?
