Anyone running an E6600 at 8x400 or 9x400fsb on a p35 board?

I was thinking of picking up an e6600 along with a gigabyte p35-ds3r and wanted to run either at 8x400fsb or 9x400fsb for obvious 1:1 timing reasons.

Has anyone here been able to run either at 8x or 9x at 400fsb or an even higher fsb on a p35 board?

If so, please post your specs!

I am running an e6420 on an Asus P5K Deluxe at 8X430FSB (1.4Vcore@45C) with 4X1 Gig RAM (4-4-4-12 @2.1V) for a daily driver machine. I did initial OC testing up to 450X8 (1.475Vcore@58C) Orthos stable 12+ hours and 8X455FSB (1.5VCore@63C) stable 4+ hours before I backed things down. I removed 2 of my RAM sticks, lowered the multi to 6, relaxed the RAM timings to 5-5-5-15 and took it just over 520 where my RAM petered out. I have no doubt the board will do more FSB, but I am running PC2-6400 RAM and it doesn't like to OC that much with the rated 2.1 Volts.

I love my P5K Deluxe, but if I was doing it over again, I am not sure I would still buy this board simply because of the cost. If you are just looking to hit 400FSB, any of the P35 boards should get you there. Either the Asus P5K (vanilla) or the Gigabyte P35 DS-3 would be the likely choices for the money. If you want the bad mamo-jamo, by all means, pick up the Asus P5k Deluxe. It looks good. It runs good. It is good. It just costs more.

Abit IP35 Pro with Crucial Ballistix PC6400 (2X1GB) and E6600.

CPU Voltage is 1.4V, Ram is 2.25 (2.2 is spec on this ram). Memory 1:1

8X425 very stable with orthos for 18 hours (then I shut it off myself).

Using Thermalright Ultra 120 deluxe which does fit on the ABIT IP35 Pro and does fit in the ANTEC NINE HUNDRED case :).
