go to asus website, download latest p5n-e bios. extract it to usb stick (make sure the stick is formatted to fat32) and restart the comp. go into bios and enter asus ez flash (make sure the usb stick was plugged in before it restarted). it will automatically find the new bios... select it and bam you got your new bios.

its really that simple.

so all i have to do is update my bios and i can achieve higher overclocks?

[sexybastard]

it depends. what bios do you have? if you have one that doesn't support the q6600 then yeah it will help.

now booting at 3.4ghz with q6600 stressing it now.. hope can get stable this time

Have you update to bios rev. 1403 ??? You need this for OC over 3ghz, you can use bios 0608 for oc to 3ghz. You should read "diddler's guide to 3Ghz on P5N-E" for some background info, it should help.
