Im not sure , but after the simplicity and good success I had with P35 I might give a P45 deluxe a go , unless thats been ruined too .
Head over to the EVGA forums and see a world of pain with these boards. Granted there is a few S2E people experiencing lockups but not as much as the EVGA owners.
From my understanding (and i could be wrong here) the EVGA is a pure reference board made by foxconn for nvidia and sold under EVGA branding. This is not the case with the S2E. Even when you look at SuperTalents site with nice DDR3 they say its for the 790i and that its only been tested on the Asus S2E.
Tyke,
I cant even get my board to post at 500Mhz FSB let alone put 8Gb in with the same config.
No matter how much you tweak GTL-REF (as they claimed) I doubt this is possible with the QX9770, its seems to be well understood 450 is about the most you can hope to expect from em.
took me long enough to get my system Prime95 Stable at 1800Mhz. Spookily we seem to be running exactly the same settings, wonder if this is about all we can get out of it, although I'm on air so limited to pushing any further anyways.
