Nice!

It sure is great to have a platform that finally takes full advantage of this fast DRAM. Nice chip. Are you going to clock it up?

Thanks alot for the info. Ive been playing around for a few days now with this same setup but im having trouble getting 4.0ghz stable. The best ive gotten was the multiplier at 21 and the Bclk at 184. (3.89ghz)
It will run prime 64bit for about 8 tests or so before i get a error on one of the threads.
ANother test I did had the multiplier at 29 and left the Bclk at 133. It would post but blue screened after loading windows.

Have any suggestions for me? What setup is working good for you?

ps, i originally bought the asus rampage II exreme but the motherboard would only recognize 4 gigs of ram, not 6. I ran out of patience waiting for a bios update so I just bought the gigabyte board. It worked out better anyway since now I can put my soundblaster titanium pci-e in slot 1 of the Pci-e and the heatsink was in the way on the asus board. (i dont have any other slot I could have used for the pci-e sound blaster card since I have a ICP raid card that uses the 3rd pci-e slot and dual 295 video cards.
