Lots of good info in this thread, I'm enjoying reading it immensely. I will be getting my E8500 and Asus P5Q Deluxe pretty soon. Gonna be running the E8500 with the Thermalright 120 Ultra Extreme heatsink. I have 2 2 gig sticks of Corsair PC8500 ram already. If I can get 4 gigs with this setup, I will be extremely happy.
Anyone care to give me some base settings to try first to try to hit that? I would REALLY appreciate that.
I'd like to start first with the stock multiplier (9.5), fsb to 420 and see if I can hit the 4 gig mark from there. I'm OK with a 1/1 fsb/memory ratio. If I can hit the 4 gigs with that, then later I might then start trying to lower the multiplier and upping the fsb and memory (and still have that same cpu speed).
