regarding the q6600 (1066 fsb)
i wonder how high a rate front side bus is safe for this processor?
I'm a little apprehensive to push it past 400fsb on a 24/7 basis.
Even if kept cool there is that 'electrolysis migration' problem ive been reading about.
The processor is not a battery, the migration is not due to electrolysis.Originally Posted by freqy
The electron migration is mostly due to high voltage, not high frequency.
By the way I would feel myself enough safe to use it 24/7 till 430-450 MHz.

Is there a bios version our right now that doesn't cause problems with sata optical drives? if so which one?

What Optical SATA problems are you guys talking about? I have a LITE-ON SATA DVD-RAM DL drive, using BIOS F7f and so far no problems writing/reading media, except for some Datawrite DL 2.4x discs, but it's probably a bad media issue...
I've run a sata dvd from day 1 & not had any issues. Spent most of my time on f5G & F5H, but have tried most others.

Maybe I am thinking of a different board. I thought I read that people were having problems. Disregard.

I've read posts on that also, but I have no idea what the problems may be... anyway, I haven't noticed anything on my side.
