Is it true the crayon mod is better then the pencil mod?

I would want to know that to.
Anyone managed to flash a vanilla standard non-deluxe P5E3 to either the Maximus or the Premium?

Has anyone used/tried the "new" 702 BIOS? Any major changes? Currently planning on getting a E7200 to replace my E6420:P

Ok riddle me this gentlemen.. So I build a new system using a p5e. I installed a q6600, overclocked to 3.2ghz from 2.4ghz. I stablilty tested the system for 3 days using occt, prime, memtest blah blah. stable as could be. I packed up the system and dropped it off at a friends house. I started the pc up and its booting at 2.4ghz. I go into the bios and the fsb freq is set at 356 which gives me 3.2ghz. I reboot and it still posts at 2.4ghz. Even in windows it shows 2.4ghz. Any fsb I move it do even below the stock 266mhz, it still shows 2.4ghz. I can change the ram speed and that stays but not the fsb. I cleared the bios but didnt have a chance to install version 702 again. Anyone have any idea why this does this or how to fix it?
thanks

Try disabling C1E in the bios. This is throttling and could be your issue.

tried that already and no change. Even if i try to underclock it, it still stays at 2.4ghz.. this is odd since it was working just fine before the car ride to a differnt house..
