yes its weird i have tried 3 new e series cpus and they all seem to go to 4600 but no more some with lower voltage but after 510fsb they get unstable no matter what volts on nb or cpu

Think its board/bios. Tried 3 that all can do over 580fsb on commando but nothing much over 500 on maximus. With me E6600 and bios 0401 maximus did 550mhz air and 590 on dice (for 1M) but with wolf and never bios even 500fsb is hard. I might give bios 0401 a go again to see if it helps but i want the half multi

thanks loco , i thought it was me or just a run of bad luck, i have the asus max extreme and a few others who have had them have found over 500fsb unstable, i am talking on the max multilplier, i might try an older bios also maybe or wait for a newer one,still not bad thoiugh but the p35 boards seem to have it a lot easier with these at higher fsb
