"ASUS P5Q Deluxe discussion".

[JHS]

Damn I'm making reverse progress here. I'm just looking for 3.8Ghz on my e8400 and p95 is crashing. I'm at 445 x 8.5 with 1.3625 5:4 CL-5 ratio etc. (DRAM 2.02, PPL 1.58, VVT 1,58, NB 1.28). Anyways, I think it's my 0605 BIOS, so what's the best, STABLE version to upgrade to? Thanks

I'm running bios 803 with 9x447 on my E8400
Stable 24/7 with vista x64

Here are my bios settings:
