As for the speed, I have been waiting to try to resolve the bios temp issues before i try to totally play, but i have been running the chip at 3.2 (8 x 400) and it has been completely stable on stock voltage and minimal temp increase. ( 1-2 C increase from stock benchmarks)
Just trying to decide what to do if Abit doesnt have a bios update. No I remember why I buy mainly Asus boards.
I too had the same problem with incorrect CPU temperature on Q9400 & ABIT IP35 Pro.
I flashed BIOS with the latest version and it is working fine.
