ASUS P5Q-E (P45) pre-view

[bot@xs]

I'm interested in the limits of this motherboard. what is the highest FSB reached?

i second that.
i am at 450 now, tryin to get it stable and so far it holds up.
i thought i saw someone at 500mhz fsb. how did you do that?

also, did anybody have problems with NB cooling. mine seems to run hot.
it's at 45 degrees and seems to be the limit. i cool the cpu with a swiftech h20-200 compact. keeps it nice and cool but leaves the NB with little airflow.
i thought about watercooling the NB too but then the SB and the PWN would be left high and dry.

specs:
Intel Q9450 @ 3.6GHz - Swiftech H20-200 Compact
ASUS P5Q-E Rev 1.xx/ Chipset Rev A3
OCZ Platinum 4x2G @ 1:1 450MHz/ 900MHz Cas 5-5-5-15 - i wanna try to run them at Cas 4
EVGA 9800 GT
Raptors
oh, and it's a rev 1 board but with a rev A3 chipset

it's running at 450x8 for 3.6ghz now, loading all cores with boinc 24/7
