I have been able to run mine as high as 480 mhz, but it isn't stable. I've adjusted the multi down to 6 from 8, and also have tried some new 1066 DDR2 sticks (Patriot Viper)

So what is the highest FSB that you guys have heard of on this board, I am looking to upgrade the processor, and the best oc to date is in my sig.

I have gotten it to boot, and be usable at 3.8 Ghz, but it is only really stable at 3.6

So what do you think?

It probably is then. I was tooling around on the interwebs, and I came across this review over at xtremesystems...570 mhz!

56k warning!:

I must have the worst one out there. Mine isn't stable over 458mhz! I've tried multiple cpus and have spent dozens of hours testing different settings.

I run 445 (24/7) to get my e8400 at 4ghz. I ran my e6750 at 458.

Makes me happy I have a P5Q at 515mhz... Haven't been able to get over that... though I am trying for 545mhz...

This is my last Asus board though. I'm going back to Gigabyte.

Every now and then you have to do something just to remind yourself why you stopped doing it.

why gigabyte, whats wrong with asus? does gigabyte have that performance level setting like my rampage, and other newer asus boards have? i really dislike that feature..

gigas have always looked like someone chewed crayolas and barfed on a board to get the colour scheme, thats my only qualm..

^ I've had really good results with gigabyte in the past, above all other manufacturers. To be honest, performance is more important to me than color; I don't have a case window these days.
