Dont see you having any probs getting to 1600. Dont forget though because the IMC is onbard the chips dont need the bandwidth as much as C2D so I would maybe go for 1333 with really tight timings and a nice NB overclock. Seemed to have the biggest impact for me though cause my Ram is 1600 I feel a need to run it at that speed and higher

Did some testing last night and I've got my mem @ 1600 9-9-9-24; 1.8v and running at 3.6 @ 1.35v. That was just to get things started.

The biggest problem I have right now are all the different voltage settings this board has. I'm so used to only being concerned about the CPU, memory and sometimes the NB that I'm not sure where the volts should hover around for the other components. If anyone has a rule of thumb that they follow I'd like to hear it.

Id say make this a club, should be cool

Okay i have pretty much pushed the 810 every way and come to these conclusions.

Max working clock for cpu: 3400
locked multiplier @ 13x
Temps stayed low all the way max temp at 3400 with stock cooler was like 49c

With this cpu you can leave all multipliers up when clocking to 3400 it was no less stable with nb and memory oc'd i actually got stuck at 3400 with all multiplyers down (nb at 2000 after oc'd) (ram around 1300)

Gotta run ill post a follow up

I think making this a club is a great idea and why not do it?

We would all benefit from each other's experience with the MB by sharing info, comparing notes, letting others know what pieces of aftermarket stuff worked and what didn't with these.
Once I get my system ready, I'll see what it can do and at least post up how it's doing but know already I'll have plenty of questions since I'm coming straight from a 939 to an AM3 setup here.

It's going to be like starting over again but that's what makes this interesting.
