Just checked ambient next to the system with my Fluke. 26.1C. I have a Yate Loon 120mm blowing across the board.

I think my Mushkin sticks finally commited suicide. Will not post with every method of working around tried. Good news is I hear their support/RMA is good
Currently running an a crucial rendition 1gb stick until the two 2gb 8500 ballistix kits i just ordered for 85$ each arrive on friday
Asus Maximus Extreme // Q6600 G0 @ 3807mhz 9x423 1.5v // Sapphire 4850 860/1025
4gb 2x2 OCZ DDR3 1333(D9GTN) 6-5-5-18@1354mhz 6-5-5-18 T1 @1.85v// Silverstone DA750 // Silverstone TJ09-B
Loop: D-tek Fuzion w nozzle // MCW60 // MCRES-MICRO // MCP655 // PA120.1 // PA120.2
GTL logic is very hard to put forwards in a sense that is universally applicable to every person.
In some cases matching NBCore and NBGTL is not always fruitful, a sign of inadequate NBGTL is either random core failures, or using a higher Vdimm for stability, my board and setup prefers NBGTL aligned with VTT, letting me get away with low overall Vdimm. Others have to match NBGTL with NBCORE (65-67%.
Though highish fsb's are nice we found out that real world apps benefit little between running a higher fsb (circa 465-475fsb) over running the 266 strap between 414-430fsb at similar cpu speeds (this is with 4 gig in place, needing the 333 strap to obtain stability over 460fsb)..
Though the synthetic benchmarks like Everest show otherwise, gaming engine's and even rendering benchmarks show around a 1% gain at most, which can usually be put down to variance in repeated runs.
Look out for our article on Anandtech (should be up in the next 9 hours), Gary and myself have put some hard hours into getting something together (thanks to Praz too for helping me out!). We could not go into every aspect as it would have taken months lol. But there's is a bit of a guide in there and even some cascade stuff. There will be more in depth study of BIOS on the performance boards at Anandtech...

Hey, any of you guys been running the "New" Intel Chipset Drivers? If so whats you're impression of them on this board?

I'm around the same ambient right now, but idle 42, load 44 @ default voltage. I think mine's higher due to the HR-03 Plus blowing hot air so close to the chipset. Perhaps you're on a bench too. (stupid LAN parties and the need for a case)Originally Posted by Praz
Sweet...looking forward to it. I'm going through their 2nd UT3 article now. I really wish they would have used a fraps run tho.
Just reinstalled Vista last week w/ 8.3.1.1009 9/24/2007. I'm unsure if it's the updates, drivers, or sheer luck, but disk I/O performance has been improved dramatically since the last time Vista was my main OS (3 months ago). There have been no usb issues either. Although from time to time, Vista will refuse to do as I ask, it's def a much better experience than before. Unfortunately, there are still some programs don't deal w/ the new OS well, so dual boot's a necessity if you're a fan of staying sane.
