The board employs a three phase power regulator. There are 2 FETs per phase, 4 phase would of been better.

Like I said, I am noticing funny things with memtest86, it'll pass all kinds at high speeds with my TCCDs but what is memtest passible is far from stable when it comes to prime. I had to run my memory async to get some stability at 267 but I am happy I found a comfortable stability point.

The more problems I see, the more discouraged I am to mount this rig in my prommy. I know the CPUs have plenty of life in them, it is the memory controller I don't trust. Sure, some people seem to be getting excellent results, but these "super" specimens are few and far between. One thing I can say rather conclusively is that a 130nm is less of a crapshoot than these 90nm chips.
