Thank you all for your help!

CPU PLL voltage is not supposed to go passed 1.65V...?

Chart? I looked on ASUS' website and didn't find one (at least nothing obvious on the P6T page).

I manually set all my voltages to the default (not auto) just to get a good base and then adjusted only the CPU voltage. I was able to attain 4ghz fully stable by only changing that. By using an XMP profile it should automatically detect your RAM timings and voltage but in case it doesnt you may need to manually do that. Other than that this board is one of the easiest overclocks I have ever done. I see alot of people jumping up to a 1.88V CPU PLL voltage just because they see reviews do it but I found its not really needed, unless I am missing something. Dont expect sleep mode to work once you overclock. For some reason sleep mode is plagued with problems once you pass a certain Bclock. I think alot of people over do it on the voltages with these chips. Some people claim to be running 1.35V on a 3.6ghz overclock and yet I am sitting perfectly fine at 1.2V and 3.6ghz. Jumping to 3.8 doesnt really take much more. I am stable at 1.23V. |

There are waterblocks and heatsinks available. I know Petra's has the Asus waterblocks and the Thermalright ones that fit, look at the chart to check which ones. The mosfets don't get too hot, and the NB and SB heat up, but I don't think they are worth buying new coolers for. Just check the temps on your board when your running it. From what I have seen the ICH10R is a really good raid controller for up to 4 drives in RAID 0. |

CPU PLL is set to 1.8V on default by this board. THat is what I leave it on. The max is suppose to be 1.8 but for some reason everyone jumps straight to 1.88V but Im not sure why. There are also ALOT of people overclocking horribly wrong out there so its just best to test things for yourself. I would normally use everyone else as a starting point but in this case there are alot of newbies just getting into their first machine and throwing around all kinds of talk that isnt true. This is a good link to look at. http://www.overclock.net/intel-cpus/...ng-thread.html

I dissabled turbo mode but that is just a personal prefference. Remember, turbo mode will OC your CPU even more so account for that with your voltages. I was not restricted in any way with my OC by leaving the first two on. I dont see a reason to dissable it as it does help with power saving i guess. If you want it off you could turn it off but it wont really give you any more OC headroom.

I will have to give that a shot when I set the system up tonight. Thanks!
I have also examined the chipset cooling setup, and I do think there is significant room for improvement. Were I to shop for air-cooling heat sinks, would the typical ones work? I never see specifications on coolers regarding which work and which do not for given chipsets.

Will you be getting the P6T or the P6T deluxe? The chipset cooling is significantly better on the Deluxe. If you are getting the Vanilla then there is definately room to grow for aftermarket if you do get that. I am still running the stock chipset cooling right now.

I would not know. Any sound that comes from that board is drowned out by my Ultra Kaze spinning at 3,000rpm. After post it reduces to about half that speed though.

How long does it take to POST (or show a sign that things are working properly, such as displaying text on screen)?

This is weird to explain. On a cold boot it sometimes takes 5 seconds. On a warm boot it only takes about MAYBE 2 seconds. Are you experiencing troubles?
BTW will you be using your TUNIQ with the P6T or are you switching out coolers?

I'll be using a TRUE 120 Black.
