what about the 1.5 vcore??? 1.5 seems a tad high, could it be dropped to say about 1.45 or 1.4 or would i get instability?

1.5 actual value is ok for good air cooling and water based systems ,if you can run with lower vcore stable then great or even better go higher with the fsb
 
want 4gb RAM - what memory config/brand wont ruin my overclock

Im running a q6600 g0 @ 3.6Ghz @ 400x9.
I have 2xCorsair Dominator 8500 1GB sticks but want 4 Gb in total.

Ive heard rumours that more memory might hamper my overclock
the bus speed is not important to me (as long as is >=400) but the 3.6ghz overall cpu is..

what memory purchase would allow me to keep my overclock

should i buy 2 more dominators @ great expenses?
or 2x2Gb sticks @ 400fsb @ some expense
or 4x1 GB @400 fsb @ least expense

or doesnt the above matter at all re: protecting the overclock.

thanks for the advice

I installed this board tonight with 2*1gb of Crucial ballistix tracer.
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-114-CR&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=817

On pc probe it is showing at Dram: 2.22v in the red and Dram Ref: 1.10v in the red. is this to worry about??
Any idea how to change this?

mine did this as well. seems that board slightly overvolts against against spd....i wouldnt worry about it (as long as ram is specifided to run @ 2.2v) - cpu-z reads spds if you want to check.
still unless you are runnning super high fsbs you could probably get away with reducing the voltage and running slower with manual configuration..

I havent changed anything yet :P
cpu-z says 2.200v

It says as well that my memory runs at pc2-6400?

Running 4 sticks @ nearly 1.1Ghz no problem at all. Cant say it's limited my cpu quad overclock @ 4Ghz ;)
 
Will the soundcard work in one of the white pci-e slots??
I cant put it in the black slot, it wont fit with my case :(
 
Right, finally got this board up and running but i'm having some really weird issues.
I install Asus AISuite from the driver cd and then afterwards everytime I press any button on my keyboard it freezes the system when i'm in windows.
I had a look on the asus website and their newest driver (1.03.17) is mentioning something about fixing system freezes when using usb devices.
Should I just go ahead and update AISuite and the bios while im at it?
 
Hi, you need to use the lastest version of A1 as this cures this issue. But if you want my opinion its not needed anyway...
