I flash with a floppy drive too. Just the way Leeroy described it.Boot with one disk, flash util and bios on a second disk. aelgen, I have had random reboot issues early on with this board but that was all several bios releases ago and I haven't even thought about it for at least 2-3 months. Are you certain you have correct ram timings and voltage? Some ram won't stabilize with 1T command rate and there are a couple bios' for this board that set that as default.
>|S|<blaster, nice that you're finding that easy 3.6ghz oc with your quad, that's as it should be 4ghz is a lofty goal and I hope you achieve it. Personally I'm not willing to pump the volts into my cpus that I know is needed to run like that 24/7, although on good water I might be a bit more daring. I routinely run 4ghz+ for benching fun whether it be on the x3360/q9550 or the q6600's but stabilizing for daily operation at those frequencies is something I haven't tried with my modest air cooling. It's not out of the ordinary for 1 or more cores to run at different temps from the others. I see it all the time on my setups and there are people that report cores that vary as much as 10c. At first I didn't like it but now I simply ignore it as an intel quirk. For awhile I carefully calibrated realtemp to average the temps out but now I don't even bother with that although it works well.
