VCore, PLLV, FSBTV, NBV, even SBV (really shouldn't ever matter)
    I'm stumped
    Temps seem to be better on this BIOS though. I wonder whether they're simply more accurate or that they're actually different temps. It also seems that the DIMM overvoltage is down a bit.
    Only concern I would have for mobo, and NB/SB remps it the inverted mounting. I experienced this in the P5W-DH whe it came out and using in my SilverStone TJ-06 BTX style. Chipset was not cooling as good. But for CPU H2o, I dont understand it either. I'd check mounting, method of TIM preperation, and probe the actual waterblock to see if it reads out hot. Cause that should cool no matter it upside down or not.

    Anybody else experience issues with any mobo and its onboard heatpipes when mounted in an inverted possition (upside down as in a BTX case)? I layed mine down on it back for testing and it is OK except for occassional missread of MB temp (gets stuck on 130c for a while).

    Anybody locate the MB sensor, CPU PLL (clock gen) chip and DRAM clock gen yet?

    @ chocobo15, What are the settings you chose. I see you are using a devider. Put strap and RAM frequency to "AUTO" and then give it a try to another FSB. May not get more then 475FSB anyways with this Q6600 unless willing to pump some more vcore, PLL, & SBT into your OC. Compare your scores w/ 1:1 v/s the devider for 1066 and see what it returns for you. 475x8 @ 1:1 for me on my P5K was nice @ 4-4-4-9 DDR950.

    On BIOS v0901 now, who else?
