WOW!

Slightly behind the curve here - but what a great motherboards & what a great thread.

This threads been like a time machine! Its enabled me to relive the experiences of the early P5Q deluxe pioneers as it happened. I am up to thread page 40ish and loving it!

Currently I am happy with my QX6850 sitting at 3.6 (400*9) and corsair dominator CM2X2048-8500C5D (2*2g kit). PL - 7. What can i say rock solid. I've seen my memory benchs move up considerably in Everest.

I did boot at 3.9Mhz. Even got all the way into world of warcraft before BSOD. I am not too sure I can get 4.0Mhz without a cooler upgrade - Zalman 9700 atm -so maybe low end H2O in needed. Vcore is at 1.35 with LLU lowest I can go, benchs folds and primes fine. Load can touch 70 but around high 60s in Prime. Forget OCCT Linpack.

Only thing that threw me was defaulting to PL-5 in bios for manual. That took a few goes to iron out.

Is there a Bios other than the Asus 2201 that I should use? seems kinda old but it really works for me?
