This thread is still active - nice! I bought my S2E about two years ago, and tried overclocking my QX9650 then, but was bitterly disappointed. Unable to get it stable, even unlinked my PC1600 memory wouldn't run at that speed, and I had file corruption on my hard drives and network. Finally, just when bios 0901 arrived, I decided to give it a rest, and leave things at just over stock speed (9.5x333, nothing fancy). I needed stability, my wife was pregnant again.

Anyway, I thought I might still give it a go again, being restless and my little girl now over a year old. I figure this rig still has some future in it, being totally watercooled. Just two questions before I embark again, I hope someone can answer:
1. I still have the OCZ PC1600 memory (2x2GB). Should I invest in something faster/better first, that will do 1800-2000Mhz FSB maybe? Or should I try it with these modules first?
2. I remember the board having a hole at 1600Mhz FSB, lot's of folks just not getting things stable at that speed. Does that still apply for the latest bioses? (I just loaded 1402, seems fine ftm).

For the record, I have a C0 stepping of the QX9650.
Well, thanx, and I'll post my results.
