if you're looking for a solid asus board rampage extreme will do it, and there's watercooled nb. it's gotten 550mhz fsb stable for a quad, 660 ish for a dual. but it is a tad pricey.
uh, blackops too for $70 less, but i'm not sure how it does with this chip, fsb limitations will be tighter. i could let you know when i get my ram back and finish with P45.
I know my gigabyte X48T-DQ6 did fine up to 490 fsb (with low multi) and 8x475, but no watercooled nb. but i dont think a watercooled nb is really that necessary with this chip.
Lol only $400 for that board...Nah I already have a universal NB MCP block, I'd be willing to change the top but I'mnot putting aluminum in my loop and reducing my tubing to the size of those tiny barbs. What a joke.

This using 1/2 inch barbs by chance?
