    only at 3ghz at the moment, but ill let this reach 12 hrs and up it some more.

    Looking good clunk

    Just awaiting my RAM back from OCZ and the overclocking will commence here.....hopefully a new BIOS for the P5B will be avilable soon as well. Seems 0507 is messed up (looks like you know as your running 0502 beta ) and I expect the next release to really make this board fly

    yeah, i couldnt do anything on the 0507 bios, very weird one that....if they can get the next bios right, itll be an excellent board, one thing i forgot to mention, grab some of those zalman ramsinks and stick them on the mosfets near the cpu, its made a 500mhz difference to me so far

    heres a pic, but i didnt have time to shrink it sorry

    i had to fit them while the board was in the case..i put each one on a flat head screwdriver and guided it in, was really fiddly and thats why they arent straight, but who needs straight when you have pink dye

    Got my DS3, upped the v-dimm to 2.0V with some old RAM, my OCZ stuff works fine now. I've heard the latest bios fixes the problem too. Will get that on there, then start up a challenge for you.

    Heard the P5B is awesome though! 3.5GHz! It is a 6600 though :-)

    i think im stuck at 396fsb now, seems like the ram settings (or lack of) is the problem, but its not quite at its rated speed yet. could do with a new bios here as well, at least if they are taking their time with it, it might hopefully fix the problems.

    Hmm, very odd....the guys here are hitting 500+ FSB with this board....although I am positive I read somewhere that the P5B does not like 340-400FSB at all and stablises a bit > 400 FSB.

    OCs like these are done with the board uncased and with 3-4 large fans blowing at the RAM and chipset, which probably makes quite a difference.

    Yeah usually few 100CFM fans. Makes overclocking simple
