Official ASUS X38 Boards: P5E, P5E3 - Info/BIOS Thread

Going from 2.4Ghz to 3.6Ghz also made my NB much hotter to touch (only probe I have ), while only changing Vcore. I suppose this is normal, since the FSB is upped from 266 to 400, and the Auto on NB increases the voltage automatically?

Yes, if you leave NB voltage on auto, the board will increase it to about 1,6v when running high FSBs. Well, at least with 445 and 500, that is what I've tested so far. You should lower it manually until you reach stability with the minimum possible voltage

Yeah I'll get it reduced when I get my new ram. No idea in adjusting everything and then add 2x1gb ram and mess it all up.

I read through the link you gave me Aleslammer, but I didn't really get much out of it. I still don't know what VTT/CPU PLL (assuming those are the same) does, and the GTL ref is also still a mystery to me.
