3.2 is the max I would want to go with my Q6600 because anything higher requires more than 1.35V and my temps are hitting 60s at 3.2Ghz because i prefer low noise. Overclocking wise, I think my Q6600 is limiting me because I got the L804 batch with 1.325V which are proven bad clockers. I don't think even with Rampage BIOS my overclocking will improve. The only thing worth mentioning is the amount of tweaking options and voltage reading ability which is locked by the P5E bios. After flashing to Rampage bios, you can fine tune a lot of tweaking options and have the ability to monitor NB, SB, PLL, VTT, DIMM voltages. It's still a X38 board but with a wonderful BIOS. Too bad ASUS paired a wonderful board with a crippled BIOS. P5E with Rampage BIOS would make it perfect.
