Im on chilled water bro and i can tell you that it does not help on this board all that much. I can sometimes get a 3dmark06 run in at 4 gig with q6600 but not very often. After playing with this board for one month now i have decided that the only way im gonna get 4gig+ is with an extreme chip with unlocked multiplier. My x38 dq6 runs a q6600 at for gig 24\7 with much lower cpu temps. I have had problems with many asus boards regarding cpu temps and cant figure it out .
