Just put together new system, some help required please!

hi guys, just got my new cpu/mobo/ram today and put it all together and it fired up first time thankfully

spec:

Asus Maximus Formula X38
Q9450 @ 2.66Ghz (Freezer 7 Pro)
4GB OCZ DDR2 PC2-8000
BFG 8800GTX OC
500GB Seagate
2TB (2X 1TB) Western Digital
Tagan 480W
Vista Ultimate 64

Everything is up and running, Vista 64 seems to have installed all the motherboard drivers however 1 thing is showing in device manager;

-SM Bus Controller

I have a feeling I need to disable something in the bios but can't remember what, does anyone know?

Would I be best off downloading the latest motherboard drivers from the asus website, if so which drivers would I require?

I am planning on overclocking once I have everything set, if there are any bios features I need to enable or disable that I might miss, please post in here! I haven't really touched the bios settings yet, most things are just on 'auto'.

just go to the asus website download section, put in your mobo and then download the latest chipset drivers.

Thanks, the chipset driver has removed SM Bus Controller from device manager.

Next, help on overclocking. Anyone have this motherboard and know the bios layout?

Whats the maximum (and safe) voltage for the Q9450?

PC Probe is currently showing CPU temp as 25C which is nice and low, what temp should I try and keep below? I have come from a X2 Athlon and 50C was fine on that.
