You could do a repair of xp but it's always best to do a clean install.

I am happy to report that 4 GHz has been achieved! Load temps around 52 on my Q9550 E0. Vcore at 1.3250 with LLC. NB at 1.38 for 475x8.5. I think 4.25 GHz just might be possible!

Interestingly, I didn't have to reinstall Windows when I changed out the mobo. Just get rid of all the ASUS software and install the new drivers. (It's a Windows Server 2008 180-day trial.)

It seems if the board is good it is very good. However, it also seems there are a number of so-so and just defective boards in the mix. Is that accurate?

Well 4.25 only lasted 30 minutes before it gave the blue screen. I think it needs more volts than I was willing to give it. Running at 4.1 for now.

Awesome thanks a lot man I can boot to widows now at 515mhz. I haven't tried anything higher, and the 515 was not stable enough to run any stress test. I set my voltages to the next step up, I am thinking it is not enough, but what did you set your to?

For my 5 ghz run I had my NB set to 1.48v and the SB back in auto.
The vcore was up high at 1.66v in bios...

For now I set my multi and divider down so that it will not have any effect on stability. I am just trying to get the FSB as high as I possible can with safe voltage and temps for 24/7 OC... do you have any suggestions?
