I know, I've tested lots of G0 ES with much frustration in search of FSB.


Either way, I dont think it makes sense to market the FSB of a board with a CPU that never made it into retail production (E6850 E0).

Not that I care about the results, but you just have people that actually think they can get 550+ FSB. Too many people blame the wrong thing for their poor overclock, just frustrating.



Again, I say blame intel for doing this to us!
