so is it just that cme setting that causes the instability on the q9450s?
how does that setting damage the cpu?
I would think the 1.8v pll auto setting would damage the cpu.

so the p5q deluxe is high end enough to receive a new setting but not the highest to be the lab rat. M2F will get it after it is thoroughly tested?

maybe asus was simply nice to offer it to the p5q deluxe that probably has a bigger customer base and more owners. after all, biostar tpower, dfi dark p45 etc.. is competing with this board in the same price bracket so it needs some attention.
