I use Patriot Extreme Performance Low Latency DDR2 800 with this motherboard and have no problems with it. I've also used regular Patriot memory with it. You shouldn't have a problem unless you're trying to mix memory types/brands. For example I couldn't use regular Patriot memory with the LL...

The beta bios I was given through tech support was 1.52, and I still have problems. Perhaps they'll have a newer beta bios available. :/ Having 4GB of RAM makes a big difference multitasking in Vista, and I'm having stability problems NOT overclocked with it at this point with the Q6600, and...

I didnt' use anything different. Unfortunately I've since upgraded to 4GB of RAM and am having stability problems again! I don't have any successful news as I'm taking a break from OCing it until my NAS is setup as a backup. This is a difficult board to work with the Quad cores!

That's a nice case! I nearly chose a Zalman or an Enzotech but I found cheaper that was pretty equivalent. I bought the Ultra-90 heatsink because it was only $20.00, and is in the top of the charts in heatsink ratings (google 'heatsink review'). The newer Ultima-90 does much better, probably...

Akuma! I've duplicated your overclock. My Q6600 2.4 is now a Q6600 3.15. And with the G0 and my cooling setup my full load temps are a mere 50 degrees Celsius, idle 38! Idle wattage is now 20 more watts than previousl , and full load wattage is higher (I've got a Kill-A-Watt so I can...

Ah! That's great! I emailed MSI tech and they gave me a BETA bios that the tech said I could try but he also said and I quote: "Intel's Quad Core processors are not designed for OC which you can get in touch with Intel for this and their Dual Core processors which are but you can try with...

Hmm... It looks like you're right I'm having the same troubles you are. BSODs on loading with overclocks, and it certainly isn't a heat issue. I'm getting tired of pressing the CMOS reset button or booting into BSODs. I think MSI may need to be pestered about another BIOS update. This Q6600...

Hello everyone! Reading the posts on this thread has been fun! I hope to achieve a good overlock. Here is what I am starting with: Stock System: Q6600 G0 2.4Ghz CPU MSI P6N SLI Platinum BIOS V1.4 2GB (2x1GB) Patriot Extreme Low Latency 800Mhz 4-4-4-12 SDRAM XFX Geforce 7950GT 512MB...
