So I just want to make sure I understand a few things Saaya:

EIST has to be enabled in order for turbo mode to work, correct? And all though other MFG's allow you to disable it, you really are not disabling it, is this correct?

You recommend HT off because real world software doesn't take advantage of it, is that correct? If so, then why does my Sony Studio 9 show it using all 8 threads when it is running?

Vdroop enabled means that the voltage to the CPU fluctuates, correct? Or do I have it backwards?

And you are recommending that you do have vdroop fluctuation for a better overclock unlike EVGA, Asus or Gigabyte, which recommend you enable Load Line Calibration in order to stabilize the voltage for a better/stable overclock, am I understanding you correctly? If I am, why do recommend that?

Are you saying 1.5v vcore is safe for the cpu? My understanding was that 1.45v vcore was the max Intel recommended, not saying we don't exceed that, I am just trying to understand yours and Foxconn's position on this.

I am just trying to figure out some things about this board since mine will be here Tuesday and I do not want to be let down with this board. This is suppose to be the "Ultimate" overclocking board and just plain bad a**. I currently have the EVGA and I have played with the Gigabyte Extreme. The EVGA is awesome, easy to overclock, stable bios and great support. The Gigabyte, not so much, rough bios' and the support is lacking. What can I expect from this board? Will I be pulling what little hair I have left out or will I be praising Foxconn? I am currently at 200blck x19 on my EVGA and with turbo and HT on which puts me at an effective 4.2Ghz clock. It was pretty easy to do, but I am expecting to hit higher on this board, is it wishful thinking?

Understand that I am just trying to set my expectations for this board and that if it isn't the right board for me then fine I will move on. Some of the statements from your last post seem to be opposite of other posts/threads and statements that I have read from various sources and I just want to make sure I understand correctly.

Thank you.
