    in case anyone has any doubhts on the capabilities of this mobo!

    funny enough I now know that reviews have to be taken with a pinch of salt.overclockers did one for this mobo before christmas and yer man said he was hitting "hard walls" at 400 fsb.
    I have yet to feel a wall and I am at 423.
    The processor has the power saving features enabled hence CPU-Z is showing a lower core speed.

    I really want to stress test this setting but I really do think I need better cooling.

    Not sure what you mean by wall.Is that how high the CPU can go?Or the FSB?

    Heres the latest:eek:

    seeing as I have an Asus P35 P5K-E for demo well you know I couldnt resist:D

    The Bus speed hit 502 but that was pumping lots of volts into the CPU.But it got there nonetheless.Multiplier was lowered to *6.
    Could not get the quad over 4.0MHz.:(

    The IX38's wall is/was 470 doesnt matter if the multiplier was 9 or 6.But I think this is a relatively new board so future bios's may improve that.

    again none of these tests have been stress tested but its kinda cool when you can get a picture of CPU-Z when your overclocking!;)

    well took another crack at it this morning.Had the PC virtually out the window:D

    No joy getting better results but did manage to get the q6600 into windows at 4.0MHz:cool:

    so of the three boards ive overclocked this is my evaluation.

    Asus P5N-32 680i:
    Heat is a problem with these.Numerous bios flash's to get it to a decent clock.but as it was my first board to OC it was a good learning experience.
    always at the jumper resetting the blasted thing.annoying.SOLD.

    Asus P5K P35:
    Nice bios features.Loads of options.
    Again this one you have the start messin with the voltages to get it to OC well.
    It did have the highest Bus speed of 502 with the multiplier at 6.Ive read it can do 520!
    Nice board and may be a keeper as a spare.Never had to touch the jumpers.

    Abit Ix38 QuadGT:
    After the 680i this one was a dream to work with.Stable at high speeds and 3300MHz easily obtainable without messin with the voltages.Overclocked my Q6600 the highest of all three.bios options could be improved as the Asus board has far more features for flashing etc.Defo a keeper as I love the look of it and the SPEED!


    On to a new adventure now.Watercooling!
