Well, I got the QX yesterday and I got the motherboard today. Just assembled everything, running watercooling on the cpu, OCZ 9200 5-5-5-15 ram and everything runs well at 3GHz and DDR2 800, cpuz says 1,168 and core temp says VID 1,25. (a little confused, but I think I get it) Getting familiar with the board after sitting with a semi outdated AMD system for a year

After having a look at the numbers and letters on the CPU, I would say it is an old chip ... L740B306 is the batch right? Not familiar with intel steppings very well.

Will try pushing fsb a little today and see if I can get the memory to run faster.
