Anytime! Glad your Quad is screaming. Is it OCCT stable? Don't worry about the red. That can be adjusted in the settings of PC ProbeII. As far as a CPUz screenie: Just take a screenshot and host it somewhere like cyberimpressions.net or photobucket.com or something. They give you a forum link you can paste into here.

Ive been through 4 sets in the last 6 months, they literally burn your finger to the touch. On a side note my last set killed my GA-p35-dq6 so i bought the Maximus Non SE and a set of ocz platinum xtc 2x 2gb 5-4-4-15 and so far so good.

This board detected my previous 4 disk raid 0 , and booted my q6600 at 3.6ghz the first shot with the 401 bios. The vdroop is horrible 1.54 bios = 1.44 load and my q6600 needs 1.46 under load to stay stable. I hope the Loadline and vdroop will be fixed with the 901 bios.
Flash to 0802 for crying out loud. Loadline calibration was fixed in like 0502 or something like that. Stop running an ancient BIOS and you'll get better results.
