Last night, with the Q6600 in, I had the first BSOD of my Maximus II Gene when running 64-bit Prime95 blend to fully load the bus and it was STOP: 0x00000124, with a sub code indicating a bus error, so I scrambled to the BIOS and manually set the FSB termination voltage to 1.20V. The RAM isn't OC'ed, LOL. And I know that at least with a dual and a single stick, it does 450 Mhz FSB easily.

After I did that, zero errors when running Prime95 before stopping it at 7 hours to call it all clear.

This is with a quad and all 4 DIMM slots filled!
 
I set the FSB termination voltage to 1.20 V and afterwards, blend mode Prime95 was still chugging along at 4 AM!

(IIRC, the board BIOS was telling me that the FSB termination voltage was at 1.1 V or around there.)

Looks like I hit the sweet spot now!

And Intel Burn Test didn't fail, even with the above issue! I was like, what now?

Linpack seems to suck for finding bus issues.....
