if you were able to get down to PL=5 on the IP35 Pro, i tip my hat to you!..the lowest i could get on the IP35 Pro was PL=7...DAMN!...you have some EXCELLENT ram!

first of all, i never said 600 FSB...i said you will get some where between 550 and 570 FSB with an E8600, E8500 or E8400.

you need to work on "Clock Gen Configuration" settings under "O.N.E." tab

I hate this AMI bios, the voltage have too big increment , would like to have 0.05v increment , I cant choose 2.25 v for my ram I have 2.2v or 2.3 v too big ! same on the other voltage too bad, I can't see the exact value of voltage aka 1.25v on my cpu insteed of this weird + 0.050 v .
it is not the AMI bios at fault; it's Biostar's Bios Engineers who did not think the voltage increments out properly...i agree...very unintelligent engineering!

Ok it's a budget board but I expected much from this .
REALLY!...IP35 Pro was almost a $200 board when it came out last year!...price per barrel has doubled since that time and guess what, PCB is a derviative of oil...SO...it is more expensive to build these motherboards!...make sense!

And last thing, it's the lack of fans connector, damned only 3 it's not enough for my taste, at least they seems to be fully controllable by bios ( a good point there)
you are just SPOILED!
