Good choice for the mobo, my dual axp setup was powered by a tyan tiger and it ripped tits!
Let us know how she runs, u will be the first member running a s940 setup I think.
Oh and welcome to :anisx: mate! :wavey:

Alrighty, I got the machine finally.
Seems to run pretty nicely, and with my first attempt at overclocking on stock cooling I reached around 2.1Ghz using clockgen (265's are 1.8Ghz @ stock speed)
Temps aren't boosting past 40 degrees under load either.
I am getting some "Machine Check Event reported is a corrected error." popping up, but there doesn't seem to be any instability yet. Any idea what this error means? is it bad news? should I clock back on the memory multiplier, and look at clocking up something else?
infact just as I was writing this I got this message "The maximum number of Machine Check Event corrected error events that can be saved to the Event Log has been reached. Logging of these events has been disabled."
I guess it can't be too terminal for the system then. Is it something to do with the ECC memory?

Yep overclock via the BIOS - much better for stability 
Thanks for the advice. I've been pretty phased out by the bios on the tyan tbh. Also, its a pain to have to reboot every time I want to push another few mhz. I'm also running the older bios (2004QQ3 6/21/2005 under cpu-z).
Some more details on the setup:-
The mobo is a S2895.
Family / Model / Stepping = F / 1 / 2
Extended Family / Model F 21
Brand ID 48
CPU Clock Speed 2204.9 MHz
Clock multiplier x 9.0
HTT Bus Frequency 245.0 MHz
L2 Speed 2204.9 MHz (Full)
Temps hitting 43 degrees C after 3 mins full load. (vray render)
Whats the best bios to flash to at the moment?
Does anyone have any links to any good articles/threads on the best/safest way to overclock this beast?

I've updated the bios to 1.02. Gone through a panic when I realised I needed to reinstall win x64 to get the Raid drivers installed.
My internet is still a bit flakey, which I though might be fixed with a fresh install, but I have a feeling the problem is with my ISP or router. (the symptom is that I have sustained connectivity; internet radio stays on, but website connectivity drops fairly regularly for a few minutes) Any ideas what could be causing this? (this continues to happen when I am not using any p2p software).
I have noticed that the RAID drivers in windows are the Nvidia drivers. I have read in various places that I should just be using the windows raid drivers. Will it be safe to unsinstall these drivers and let windows configure its own drivers on reboot?
OR are these the drivers that windows has installed anyway?
NVIDIA RAID class controller : Version 5.10.2600.552
NVIDIA NForce4 Serial ATA RAID Controller : 5.10.2600.552
Thanks for any advice on this!

I use the nvidia RAID drivers I think - mine are working just fine

Not sure exactly what oc'ing options they give you in the BIOS for that specific board... but does it let you tweak the voltage? Put some more juice through your ram first and then just a smidge more through the procs.
Some processors just need a small bump in voltage to unlock a whole lot of overclockability.
Sounds like everything is going good as of now though! Keep it up, and don't forget to get that sucker folding for team 43461

I worked out what the problem was! One of the Raptors was coming up with bad blocks, which caused the slow windows boot, and system hangs. Weird, as the drive was never being used at the time for any reason. I reformatted it, and it looks like its working fine now. I will run some burn in tests to see if the data corruption continues.
Everything seems to be running smoothly now.

Cool man good to hear it!
Run the WD HDD checking facility from their website too just to make sure
