Guys what BIOS are you running? I ask because I've posted the same thing, with my E8400 FSB1600 was no good at all. Once I went up to FSB1605 though all issues went away (BIOS version 0511). Interestingly however FSB1600 works just fine with my QX9770 (same BIOS)? I only installed this chip late last night but I gamed for a couple hours, did some minor 3D benching, and ran Prime for a bit over 1hr with no problems. Granted I didn't Prime overnight (although I will very soon) I wasn't even able to boot into Windows at FSB1600 with E8400!

Techjunkie - Thanks for posted that table, much apprecaited! I recently printed off Anandtech's S2E review where they get pretty deep into the GTL settings with 45nm dual and quad core chips but your spreadsheet makes the calculations much easier so thanks!
