Agereed. Just compensate for vdroop by using CPU-Z to determine your ACTUAL vCore and then adjust accordingly.

If you want more then 2 to be in the RAID array, then you will need a different card because it only supports 2.

If you wanted to run 2 in a RAID array but have other drives, then yes, you could just plug them into the other connections on the MOBO.

got my board on friday runnin great fast .Im having one problem hope I can get some help with?when ever I shut down my box for longer then an hour it wont boot fans spin but thats it ..gotta pull ram out and restart about 10 time `s then it boots?any ideas it very annoying..RMA maybe ?Thanks alot

The latter is what I meant. Good, that's what I was hoping for.

Could be your memory for sure - if you can get up again, run a memtest on the sticks individually. Also, feel them when it shuts down and see if they're hot to the touch. Changing the configuration in BIOS could cause them to overheat.

Other thoughts: could be your power supply. People have had problems with the one you're using. Do you have another you could try?

simple question the rev i get from newegg may not have latest support for my Wolfdale, i'm wondering if flashing my bios will be as simple as putting the bios on a USB flash drive and then installing all my new parts and then flash from there?

What revision of this motherboard can handle the wolfdale processor, and is there a chance I will get a motherboard that wont support it? This will ruin me since I don't have any other processors to use except the one I am upgrading from. Please advise, thanks.

OK I think I might have my airflow going the wrong way. I'm at work right now so I just wanted to ask this before I got home. If I have my CPU fan blowing up towards my PS fan which is blowing down how much do you think my cpu temps would drop if I turned the fan around to make it suck air through the heatsink instead of blowing air into it. I'm not sure if it is blowing the the wrong way Its something I haven't checked. I have a thermalright 120 extreme and I'm getting 60C temps at full load at 3.2ghz OC of a Q6600. There are other people on this board that I have seen around 55C with the same setup. The arrows are the airflow.

Strange issue with my OC. I was able to get up to 360X9 however when I booted up to Vista it was showing stock settings in CPU-z and system properties. I tried bumping it down to 350, 340 and back to stock myself then tried going back up to no avail. Yes I have C1E off as well other the other temp settings in the BIOS. Finally I reset the CMOS and was able to OC it again. I am just sitting on 333X9 and a little apprehensive about trying it again. The divider was at 1:1 and upping the voltages never helped either. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Not sure how to help you with your problem but what are your core temps at 3.1ghz?

Under 60C
