    Warboy, I use Everest, OCCT and as you know I'm on an X38 and I don't get the problems at all.

    I haven't ever had the massive fluctuations like you have...

    I don't have the v fluctuations either. Its pretty consistent within my OCCT graphs. I do remember this happening back in my Opteron 165 days with my DFI board/smart guardian. All I did was unplug the 24pin connector and plug it back in. Sounds too good to be true but try it?

    iceman, for some reason, i remember reading that there were compatibility issues using that top slot with other cards. i guess it's "allocated" for the factory sound board. not positive though!!!

    My E6300 di it on the P5B, so why not on tis mobo? Even an ES E6550 is pushing 540FSB on the P5K Deluxe

    Unfortunately my highest stable FSB appears to be just 450 with my QX9650 and with my Q6600 G0 I had to push 1.76 vNB and 1.75 for vFSB in order to get 470 fsb stable.

    Im not sure at this point if its the chip with a CPU ceiling or the mobo regardless im running at 4.8ghz with a multi of 12 and shes nice and stable with some decent scores with my 8800gt.

    I've already done that, and Tried 2 different Power supplies. Get the same problem in both. So I doubt its the power supply. These has to be why my overclocks ain't stable.

    Oh for the love of Christ. Just flashed to 0902. The 266 strap is STILL broken. Honestly, what's it going to take to get this fixed? Tried relax set to 0 and 1 and it still won't boot. Just sits at DET DRAM. This board is just awesome, but for crying out loud just fix it already.

    On another note, any previously saved OC profiles will not work in 0902. When I tried to load mine, it would just cause the BIOS to reset to defaults.

    Asus really can't seem to get a decent bios nowadays. The new bios for the Striker Extreme is the same, newer bios, more bugs, less overclock and more headaches!

    does anyone here use the software that came with the mobo ? I ordered it today (260$) and seen that it came with extra software. I am so glad this has a power on/off button.

    Hopefully Bios's mature , until then I'm problably only going to run 2.8GHZ :P

    Could be the case, but for what reason do they put that PCI slot on pcb ?

    It appears to me that warboy is having a ripple problem (1.45 vs .04). Ripple is notorious for damaging ram. I suggest using another outlet in another part of the room (not socket next to the one currently used).

    Well I just gave this board another OCCT RAM 475MHz FSB run...with a North Bridge load temp of 29*c!!! It still failed, even with 1.75v vNB, 1.7v vPLL and 1.65v vFSBT!

    I got my 115cfm Vantec Tornado out for nothing! :P Looked good though, strapped to the North Bridge!

    A lot of people run their ram @ 600MHz, async from the FSB.

    Is there a switch for afudos that allows you to force it to update an older bios?
    I had an older but it said something about boot block.
