So I was not entirely knowing what to look for in an Asus board, and always heard great things. So I decided I didnt need SLI or crossfire, so P5Q it was.
Aahh, the heatsinks were a lil strange to me, but I figured, what the hell.. a new toy none the less
Slapped in my Q6600, made sure that XP64 still found my devices, installed drivers, etc. Once the initial completion of the basics was complete, time for a back to "normal" 3.6ghz on air
I noticed one of the options was to correct the Vdroop that was a plague before and driving me crazy. Immediately, I disabled SpeedStep, C1E, and this setting I cannot recall..
Changing the vcore to the last known vdrooped setting of 1.3875v, booted with no issues. Fired up p95, no immediate issues, and will be in for some stress testing. Curious as to see what the lowest vcore I can operate 3.6ghz without issues. Please Stand By
