Anyways, how many here have an E8*** chip in this board? I'm interested by this statement from Madshrimps:
This reminds me of the early Conroe motherboards as we had to wait a few months to have high FSB frequencies as the first chipset that was capable of running high FSB's was the 965. The latest chipset are not ready to take the 45nm chips beyond 600+ FSB and most of the boards will be stuck at 550MHz FSB or less on air cooling. The P35/X38's all have the same issues, so the only solution is a newer chipset or better support for the Wolfdale and Yorkfields. However, something strange occured when reading about this issue and talking to people who tried to bypass these problems. It seems that one of the older chipsets, the 965, have no problem at all reaching 620MHz FSB on air cooling! So in order to max out your CPU, you'll have to find a P5B or Commando. On air, however, every motherboard will do well.
I don't particularly see how this is possible, but was wondering people's luck here. Note that I must confess that I didn't read through all the 187 pages. I just skipped the last few and saw a few E8*** success stories.
