When dual priming the cpu would be 100% but would only be calculating one side

No errors no hangs at all very odd

I'm thinking on getting this board for Conroe, and wanted to know what exactly would i have to do to the board to unlock the overclocking options??

easyrider - Did you try overclocking with the badaxe? is the DFI any better at it?

Which conroe are you getting and how high are you looking to clock ?

OCUK do not state which board they stock, there are two D975XBX boards..., Intel LAD975XBXLKR, Intel BOXD975XBXLKR, one of them features DOlby Digital Live, the other one does not,..why don't some people do there homework...

you'll find that this Intel BOXD975XBXLKR refers to a box of ten 975XBX boards sent to traders or those who just happen to want ten... they are shipped with minimal accessories and no manual...

Getting the E6600 and i'll be happy with a GHz overclock... i have a Swiftech H20-220 Apex Ultra watercooling kit which is very good, so that should be easy?

I think the bad axe does 50% FSB overclock without any mods which could get you to 400FSB and 3.6Ghz, but when I had the bad axe It wouldnt allow me to chance the vcore so I was stuck on 3.4Ghz.

I would get a different board tbh.
