Curiosity and mainly cause I cannot for the life of me get past 400 FSB on this board. I been trying to get 410 stable all day and can't. Also this thread on http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=178811 doesn't look good as many others have hit walls as well. Starting to think I have hit mine already...

For ex. I am on the 400/800 strap at 400 FSB with all volts stock and timing stock and I'm stable as a rock. I move that FSB to 410 and it doesn't matter how much I give the NB, CPU, Ram, it will not last 5 mins in OCCT. Only thing I can give it that I haven't in abundance is CPU VTT or FSB VTT. Only moved it in small increments so far.

Asus P5E. Has loadline calibration and is pretty much the cheapest full X38 board available.
