So far it has been interesting.
I was able to hit 8x450FSB using 2x1GB 5-5-5-15-3-25 PL7 & 400FSB Strap but was not able to keep it prime stable. The highest FSB I was able to keep stable w/ the same timings and 2 sticks was 440 but for 24/7 this is what I stuck with:
I there a pencil mod for Vcore on this board? With Loadline Disabled there's a ~.08V difference between Idle and Load. I would like to shoot for 9x425MHz but it would take >1.4V for me to do it w/ LLC disabled. It would be nice to cut the difference in half since I don't like enabling LLC, especially above 1.3V.PHP Code:JumperFree Configuration Settings

As for 4x1GB sticks I was unable to do anything worth while. It took PL10 just to boot into windows @ a 400FSB Strap & 1066MHz using 5-5-5-15-3-42 timings but errored out of Prime w/in 3 minutes.
Can someone tell me a functional nbv range on this board w/ 4 sticks of RAM?
I'm currently testing my 2x2GB OCZ FlexII's. They seem a little more well behaved than 4x1GB Cell Shocks.
I was unable to get them to run on the 400 Strap which was the case when using them on my DFI x48 board so I am currently using the 266 Strap. I have a feeling that I will need to delve into DRAM Clock Skew if I want to reach anything close to 1066MHz.PHP Code:JumperFree Configuration Settings

If anyone has any tips on how to run 4x1GB sticks at a decent performance level on this board let me know.
