Yes I am using 4x1Gb sticks right now and it OC's them to 1200 without a problem.

Reguarding LLC what do you guys suppose I do considering the OUTRAGEOUS vdroop. I mean the vdroop is like .1 I can deal with like .08 but stability is not possible without like 1.45 in the BIOS. Using easy tune to set the voltage to 1.4 reads 1.36 at idle and 1.312 under load. So how am I suppose to OC without it.

How long does it take for Intel to RMA a CPU. If not to long the I will just enable LLC till the CPU dies.

I'll see if I can find any references.
I hope they did, I am using the 7A bios and it seems great so far, but I really can't tell any difference aside from a faster boot with the 7A BIOS.

I decided to leave it on and say hell with it. If it kills my CPU I will RMA it. Has anyone ever RMA'd a CPU that they did not buy NEW? I traded it for a few PC part here on OCN, if I have to RMA will I have any issues?

You can't RMA an OEM CPU to Intel.

You can RMA a retail box CPU only if you still have the box and the stock heatsink/fan.

What a kickass board. My friend seems hell bent on getting a P5Q Deluxe, maybe this thread will help him change his mind. It is the better board right?

Pulled trigger on the GA-EP45-UD3P! Wish I'd gotten in when it was $20 cheaper than it is now. Oh well.

So no RMA with this chip huh? So what if I bought it OEM from Newegg and it fries 45 days later then I am screwed... HOW DUMB.

Anyway I did turn it back on but I seem to not be able to get 3.75 stable again. I never should have turned it off. That being the only change that took place I know that it must have somehow screwed up my OC.

This is why I usually avoid OEM chips and go for the retail box. If it fries I can at least RMA it directly to Intel.

I was able to 4.75 ghz on my e8500 E0 with 500 FSB..

My highest FSB so far is 525.

This MB is very smooth and forgiving for all my OCing screw ups...

Very nice, consistent with what we have seen so far.


figures that a monster DDR2 based Conroe board would be released right around when i7 hit.
