Is there anything I should do on first boot? My board is arriving tomorrow and I don't want to hurt my already abused E6600 any more.

I'm going to format and re-setup my RAID arrays even though I can just transfer them over... it's been a long time coming. Just need something where I can set those up again. I don't want to use that "quick" RAID stuff, I want to use ICH10R. Do I need a floppy drive?

Just don't leave any voltage for NB, PLL and FSB term at auto... nor at it's lowest level... might be a good idea to redo the RAID completely , I had some slow performance with my P5K dlx transfer to P5Q Dlx

Thanks..Should I try "moderate" and PL10 at the same time or if moderate passes then PL10-9-8? Also, if this don't pass should I increase my voltage more then 1.94? Thanks!!

Try the PL levels first, for me they bring the most gain in eg the bandwith tests after static read control... it might be that it boots at 8 but is far from stable. I usually do a quick test with a SuperPI 32MB for each core, so for a dual core 2 instances for a quad four... try 10-test-9-test-8... then if all is stable try moderate...much depends on ya rams... good luck...
