I just got the DFI last night hooked it up & within an hour ran 525 x 7 3D stable with my E6600 on the stock Intel Heatsink!!!

Although I could run 540fsb on the IP35 Pro it was not stable & would freeze in 3D (3DMARK01, 03 ,05 06 etc) so I think the DFI will definitely run higher fsb easier however it is atm (very early days) on auto timings & significantly slower than my ASUS P5K & Abit IP35 so its going to take a lot of tweaking

I also had problems with CPU-Z v 1.40.8 BETA so found v1.41.0 BETA which is reporting 1.536v @ idle with the vdroop thingy enabled in the BIOS, the actual vcore set in the BIOS is 1.50v so as you can see its not drooping much & as you are probably aware is considerably less droop than the IP35 Pro.

I have only played roughly for a few hours with the DFI but so far it looks to only droop 0.02-0.03v with light ish vcore (1.50) under load which is great.

Sorry for the late reply...I can't seem to get my Q6600 G0 chip past 3.2ghz stable on the Abit board...even after jacking up CPU VTT...I had no issues getting my other G0 chip up there though (E6850)...that hit 3.7ghz very stable...I still have to spend more time with the quad though...I just wanted to get the DFI board because I haven't had one of their enthusiast boards since the SLI-DR board...that and I'm getting phase very soon
