X3350 Arrival

[T2k]

Well it seems we are getting somewhere.... Does anyone have older P5K's and things to test these chips on? I see almost everyone with *ironically* the board that wasnt supposed to OC 45nm well *cough* 780/790I *cough* all have theirs clocking flawlessly.

I wonder whats going on? And I wonder if Asus plans to do anything about the problems with X38/48 45nm clocking.

After all the info I have gathered over the past couple days, I think I will hold onto this chip and see if it pays off to ride it out.

I agree, this is most likely an issue with f***kin' X38 implementation - why the hell did it take so long to ship this board if they did not test it with then-available 45nm samples (they were out)? More importantly what's up with newer BIOS releases and when can we expect something that makes these board useful?

Apparently current ASUS X38 boards are USELESS for *ANY* 45nm QUAD CPU OC, period. UPDATE: it seems they will act fast which is good.

Man, I'm so pissed...
