thats good going that mate, i had the e sli (basically the same board with out the nf200 chip) and it was a great clocker too but mine liked 2 sticks of ram, it would spit its dummy a little with 4.

it went higher when i put a fan on the nb too

Never really liked Asus boards but thats a pretty decent OC. not even happy with my CH4 tbh, my DFI Lanparty x38 would do my E5400 from 2.7 to 4.3 stable

I just got into testing really because now i build computer for people that don't know how or don't feel like doing it but i always have used asus boards because there prices are not bad but i do wanna start testing some other brands because now that i have started getting a lot of request for builds with a variety of options for future proofing.

thats a damn good overclock i have the same board currently and my q6600 is at 3.6ghz rock solid stable i noticed in your pic of prime etc its only showing 2gb ram i cant actually have more than 2 sticks of ram in on my p5nd unless there 667mhz anything over that speed it wont even boot even at stock...

I have 4 GB of corsair dominator ram but i forgot that i had to take two sticks out because one went bad and i have to send it back to corsair. I just put this system together and never had 4 sticks in it so im not sure how its going to react to 4 sticks of 1066.
