just a thought.....
AZN said to me "this chip will do 185fsb at default voltage on the asus mobo he has...."
he said "it was not stable at 190fsb nomatter what voltage"
after five hrs or prime95 I said f it.....190fsb here we come.
now testing at 190fsb 1.664v real.
you know what I think?
asus has a great bios to work with, but what ever they use for voltages stink......
my P4PE was just like his asus GB mobo.
overvolts by 0.1, yet once you put a full lode on it, it drops too much.
abit has the goods....voltage only drops a little at idle and dosn't go down much at lode eather....my 3.3 ,5 , and 12 volt rails are a lot better on this IC7 too...just like my old abit TH7.
I may never go back to asus.
look here for any updates on my new system.
good luck to you and yours
