It seems as a final result, that these board needs high volts to do anything. and I mean anything, In the overclocking world.
Because I've got it stable at 435x9 and 480x8, But Nothing higher, Even with Xtreme volts.
Plus, Anything over 1.65volts on the core, stops the system from posting. Which isn't really the CPUs fault. So I think there is a Major Bios update in order.

Hmm.. there's hoping a BIOS release would fix it, but if it doesn't I'm going to be a little bit peeved.

I'd love to be able to go with 450x8 without any 'majorly worrying' voltage increase, glad to hear memory timings are great though.

I'll persist with this board, and stick with the optimism that future BIOS upgrades will shape it up nicely... it was a similar situation with the P5W64-WS but stability gradually got better. Shame they never fixed the cold-reboot on it though, the P5W-DH Deluxe didn't have that problem even though the boards were very similar.

The feature set is just perfect for what I'm after and I plan on avoiding DDR3 like the plague... until late next year.
