^^^Check it out.

And I thought Jim's 490 was amazing, this is godlike!

is there any reasons for not going with this board?

A LOT of memory issues with the board and a few people having random issues with it too. It can only improve over time though so fingers crossed Gigabyte step up

meh p5b deluxe it is then

And to be honest i'm very surprised at this result considering the DQ6 had the WORST fsb overclock records when it was released.

EDIT: And whats with the 17s SuperPI @ 3.6ghz - i can pull 14sec with 400x9.

That f****** nuts.

I think it's because as u stated in the first paragraph, it's actually a POS board. Coolaler just happened to get one that can handle some serious FSB.

Actually it was someone on his forums who did it, may explain the terrible Pi time.

Take a look @ the ram timings. Theres your answer... to everything.

OMG 5-9-9-24 :nono:

 

[FragTek]

Holy crap, I didn't even know u could loosen timings that much, ROFL.

 

[NickS]

Thats why he..

-Could get that high of an FSB

-Could get it stable enough to run 32m

-Got such a chit spi time.

You probably didn't notice it was single channel too.

In order to get such high FSB, you need to baby the chipset like mad. Some people seem to forget, that the memory controller is on the chipset for Intel CPU's, and on the CPU for AMD 64.

 

[FarFarAway]

Yep

I did notice it was single channel which I'm not prepared to sacrifice just to get high clocks

And yeah I've noticed that the chipset is a PITA - just wish either:

Intel used an on-die memory controller

or

AMD would sort it out and get something that kills Conroe

I'd still say that the Asus p5b-deluxe us currently the best overclocking motherboard available and thats what i got now
