chew*, that's the same stepping I have with the same VID I have.

I have L737B026. Priming at 3.8ghz w/ 1.46v after vDroop. I would expect yours to at least be able to do this.

I dunno atm im just researching, completely lost in the bios, I can bench 3d06when setting the cpu level up to crazy which nets me 3.5g and ddr 466? thats on stock air cooler........deathly afraid of even attempting prime at that speed however with the stock cooler......

Seems i've forgotten alot of things like how to take screenshots....

This is as good an overclocking guide/review of the maximus as any - http://www.clunk.org.uk/forums/revie...ng-review.html also has this link
http://www.clunk.org.uk/forums/overc...s-p5k-add.html to a C2D P5K o/c guide which might help explain the use of some of the new BIOS settings if you have been out of the loop for a while. You may also find this of interest for improved R/W disk performance if you are thinking of a RAID setup using Intel Matrix Storage http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.p...d.php?t=467848

Ok, got it stable now, it's the L740B126



It is with open window for some minutes. At 24°C ambiant, it is as hot on 2 cores as with my previous L734A at same 3.6GHz but with 1.424 real vcore instead of 1.334v forr this one

So, despite the lower vcore, it heats quiet the same as a per clock reference. The delta between cores is up to 7°C usually. I'll try to reseat in few days with some MX-2, then I'll try a vertical mount of my WB. If nothing do it, I could lap it
