thanks loco, that board seems to love the quad, and you know how to tweak the last ounce out of it , i am in 2 minds what to do now i don't know whether to plump for this board my current 975x board is stable at 4060mhz with my e6850 (its crap at overclocking a quad though) and it still performs well so to upgrade and warrant dismantling my rig i hoped for a bigger performance leap from the p35, or wait a month and see what the ddr3 one is like i think the maxfsb on this board is effected by temps as i have seen somewhere its like 60 degrees by default on the northbridge , i am not sure if thats right

thanks loco

I think id wait. Its strange not being able to use the ram. This is best i can do G0 & divider 5/6 although mem can do 625mhz cas 4 easy with only ~2.40v and E6600...

thanks loco still looks good though but i am taking your advice and sitting on the fence a bit longer and seeing how the ddr3 one fares

Looks like it loves the quad, yes. DDR3 is prohibitively expensive as of today compared to DDR2 yet offers very little advantage, I think.
