My P5E3 Premium went out this morning, so I can no longer give viable advise to you guys. With that said, I'm cancelling my subscription to this thread. If you need to ask me anything about this board, the RAM I currently own [OCZ DDR3-1800 Platinum], the Q9450 or any settings I used while I owned the P5E3 Premium please feel free to PM me. Good luck with this board guys.
