Well, got mine in a couple of days ago and it's on an ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe using an AMD 4-heatpipe heatsink from an Opteron cpu (I believe it's the newer version of the Opty hs and has the little 80mm fan), 2 x 1GB Corsair XMS DDR PC3200 RAM, and an ATI Radeon x1950 Pro.
I've got it cruising at 3.12GHz (12 x 260 FSB) @ 1.45-1.475v.....I have the vCore set at 1.475v in the BIOS, but the mb will vary the vCore depending on load between the aforementioned voltages. It just won't get past loading Windows at a 270 or faster FSB setting....dammit!!!
Temps on the cpu run around 37C at idle, load temps are just too high to mention....well into the upper 60's or close to 70C. Guess it's time for a better cpu heatsink......suppose the little AMD hs's 80mm fan has met its match this time.....darned thing at full tilt sounds like a jet engine trying to spool up to full speed.
