From the man who did a very decent study on the G.Skill PC2-8000 4GB dual channel memory Kit is now going to show us what this mobo can really offer us all.

Do some tests with that memory at different timings and if you have a Quad-Core lying around can ya try 8 x 480 or 8 x 450 and get that RAM up to at least 1066-1100 that would ROCK.

P.S

Its the max Stability is what i am looking for as when i get a Quad-Core Yorkfield QX9450 we all know they will be about 15-20% faster and about 10-20C cooler then the QX6600 is.

Hm won't CPU cooling performance be affected when you have the CPU sink turned 90 degrees like that?

Mine's mounted the same way and seems to work fine. 3600MHz processor speed. CPU temperature is BIOS adjusted to read same as CoreTemp.

Hmm, is there any possibly way to install the thermalright ultra 120 xtreme to blow out the case and through the top?

Yes i have got an areca 1220 build in and it works with our new baby. But did not do any overclocking yet.Anyone got an 3ware/amcc 9590se? Would be nice to hear some folks about it too.

I have already posted this info earlier in this thread and in the other thread (Areca cards and X38). But, I'm bored, so...

I have the ARC-1210. I tried it in the 2nd pci-express (16X 2.0 slot) and while it did work (I could access the card's bios, etc..), it would only operate at 1X, not 4 or 8X. It does, however, work perfectly in the upper 4X slot, so no worries there.
