    @ Cryptik,

    got a question for you. I am "thinking" of getting myself another 4gb kit of G.Skill F2-8800CLD5-4GBPI for a total of 8gb. I currently have the E8600 E0 and would like to run a modest 4ghz @ 500 FSB. I already know this combination does it easily since I was there for several weeks without a hiccup but I am wondering about longevity. Is it safe 24/7 to run 500 FSB on this board, or should I sacrifice some fsb and up my multi? I plan to stick with this system as my main rig for at least a year, so I really don't want to damage anything if it can be avoided. The CPU is watercooled but the chipset is not.

    Also, I plan on using a Adaptec 5405 and 4 SSD drives here soon and wondering if the overclock will negatively effect my storage raid system.

    Also, what is the best bios for the Dual E0's?

    Thank you
