460FSB my MAX FSB on this bord, this has to be RAM related. 8 bords all maxed at 450/465FSB.
I can run memtest @ DDR1200 4-4-4-8 fine.
I've new ram on the way anyway
I`m having a few probs getting my E6600 stable at 3.4GHz,was rock solid on my previous board but fails orthos / occt within a min or two.
The board wont even boot if i have it set at 8 x 425,anyone got any basic settings that theyve tweaked that they would like to share?
One last thing ive got my memory set to 2.0v in the bios but AI Suit has it at 2.3v and PC Probe at 2.1v?

It is possible in this motherboard?

Won't this vdroop issue disappear when Asus manage to fix the voltage damper option in the bios, though?

I think that voltage damper affects undervolting and not vdrop. Or am i wrong?

Has anyone experimented with water cooling on the chip set yet? Did it improve your clocks? My board will be in next week and I have a Corsair Nautilus 500 laying around that I could use for a second loop.Just wondering if it's worth the effort? TIA.
anyone had any problems with this board and vista x64??? i have a logitech keyboard installed and it keeps locking up apps everytime i try to type with it...ever heard anything like that before??? im reinstalling vista to see if it will fix it...thanx guys ill keep you updated
Logitech has updated drivers for their mouse & keyboard running on 32 & 64 bit Vista. If you can't find it on the motherboard manufactures site, try driveragent.com

nb gtl x63

cpu temp -115
validation
The cpu did a 556 air, and becouse the fsb is cpu related the board problaby will go much higher.
stock board, no watercooling yet.
