Mines just turned up 
I only paid for monday delivery
update:
All up and running on Raid Raptors, nice and nippy at the moment.
Its currently using a gig of DDR ram and a 9800 pro, not got a chance to test games yet.
But SuperPi 1M is taking 35 seconds without any tweaking.
Coretemp is reporting oddly low temperatures, around 24 idle, which seems a bit unlikely on the stock cooler, IntelTat tells me its idling around 40.
More to come

You must be joking lol.
I can run dual Orthos for 8 hours @ 2.8ghz, the temp at 2.8 is 46 idle! I then run at 1.6ghz [stock] and its still 46!
Cant figure this mobo/cpu combo out at the moment.It will sit happily all day at 3.2 but then stress it and it falls over.
Hi all, I am an OC n00b so please forgive me if I do not follow protocol
I bought a new rig yesterday after reading this thread, so thanks for that people. I'm really please with my new system and the CPU overclock.
I have a post relevent to topic, but here's the first part directed at Munky1080. He's asking the question, but no-one so far has answered.
Q.How do I get higher speed for memory on the AsRock 4CoreDual
A. Munky I have the same mobo as you (bios ver 1.80)
I can post with the FSB @ 300. The memory will only run at 300 if I set memory compatability = OFF in the BIOS. All other memory settings are AUTO
[
You can see with the FSB @300 the memory timings are fastest as per the 266 setting, so this is bonus. Hope this helps you.
My question to all, This board will not post at anything over 300mhz, even 301mhz. Ideally I would like to set the FSB@333 and have the memory running @333 but at the moment, its 300 max... Anyone got any ideas?
Many thanks,
-- Dan

What is the cheapest board i can pair up one of these with for 3ghz+?
abit IB9
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-121-AB
S3
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-063-GI
Would prefer not to go over that but if there is an ungodly mainboard that's just a bit more then i will stretch out.
*edit* after some searching on google, it would seem that the S3 is the way to go, correct?

Anyone got any solutions for me yet?
Won't post at anything over 390FSB, even with lowering the CPU's multi, loosening memory timings and over volting everything.
PCI-e frequency is stuck to 101mhz.
Temps are fine for the chip also.
