Northern, really excited to see what that board does, as it is the one I orginally wanted(got the Asus A7V333 instead).. Also Remember to burn in the samsung as It does not like high fsb/volt right out of the gates, Also I belive the samsung works best at 2.9v:D

But slowly take the fsb/volt up alittle at a time, I would use Sandra and run the mem bench for awhile then up the fsb.. until you reach a ceiling...

I would rather use Prime95 torture test, and lock it into using <1024 FFT sizes, that will also tell you if you are having errors, immediately.

Go jersey!! :D

I am going to use the Samsung that I have already burned in with my Iwill and then when the new stick burns in a bit I will move that over to the Epox.

Well here is what I have got so far with the 1600+ I am hoping to eventually get it up to 1850 but I have a 1900+ I just got yesterday that I wanna play with too its a AGOGA week 51. So here is a quick pick for everyone. As for the 8k3a I really like the board but I am a bit disapponted with the Mem scores so far, hopefully they will get fixed with a BIOS revision. Well here are some pics.

Nice one :)
I wish I could get my XP18OO to do even 1MHz over stock speed! :( It just won't have any of it.
BTW, anyone got a recent copy of WCPUID they could send me. I can't download it from the website for some reason.
