I saw the gigabyte for $76 shipped. This is about $4 more AR and you get 2 16x pci-e slots. (they do split to 8x in crossfire)

520FSB on a quad? That's not too shabby! Are you saying that's the same board as in your link?

Set it up today. Just tower cooling, it has a hard time above 450fsb getting memory errors. Using 1066 8500 memory. Could be the chip.

Any more update on the Q8200 overclock?

I have a DFI x48 mobo and can only do 429fsb right now, just trying to see if this mobo can take it over 500 like the review states.


Cube....you can chime in as well.

Well I broke through the wall. Still testing and bumping up. I had to play with the VTT, PLL and GTL. A couple bumps here and there and it seems stable.

 

[Schmide]

Well I found the wall at 480. At least with this chip without going too high in the voltage.

My settings

CPU.........+0.1125
ddr..........+0.40
chipset.....+0.325
FSB.........+0.350
core 1 gtl...0.67*VTT
core 2 gtl...0.69*VTT
Mch..........0.64*VTT
CPU PLL.....1.8
ISL...........-15% (edit this was + which was wrong)

Readings
CPU..........1.328v
NB/SB.......1.376v
DDR..........2.19v
FSB .........1.424v
