sorry i should of given the reason for my impression of the P5E, my last board was a P5W DH Deluxe v1.0 and i was limited with my quad to 3.15 completely stable. i could do 3.6 24/7 on the same board with an e6600.
so when i found i was able to boot up @ 3.25 i was v.happy. i havnt had much time to overclock but in the few hours i spent studying the bios settings i managed to hit 3.4 stable easily. i'm sure this chip will go far higher on this board so imo its brilliant....
