I started with a P5E3 Premium. It ran without no issues and it booted up fine with OCZ DDR3-1800 Ram. But, it couldn't run my X3350 at 485 x 8, like my Rampage Formula DDR2 board. The P5E3's voltage ranges are quite smaller and go to a lesser upper extreme than the Rampage BIOS.
That is why I was hoping the highly anticipated, God amongst Men Mobo, the great Foxconn Blackops could do what the Rampage could do, but with DDR3 Ram.
Maybe it can, but my experience was horrendous at just trying to get the board to run at more than 60% of the BIOS settings FSB for both CPU and DRAM.
My next attempt will be Asus' P5Q3 Deluxe (P45 chipset) coming out within the next week.
