I've been using the 875P NEO with BIOS revision 1.5 and now 1.6 for the last 2 weeks and I'm am some what impressed by this board, I've had none of the stablity problems listed in this thread yet. I'm running a P3C 3.0 at 3.51 with a front end bus of 234 and my memory forced to 333 or with the overclock 380 MHZ, I have the core at 1.6V and the MEM at 2.6 and the AGP bus at 1.6 and I can running anything I've tried without issue, however I was playing with CPU-Z and encountered the same problem as 'smOOthyUK' in that my memory being under clocked from 400 to 380 is set to run at 2,2,2,5 but according to CPU-Z is running at 3,4,4,7 which is just plan wrong, I'm intrested in if other people have encountered the same issue, and if it is actually running at this level of if CPU-Z is wrong, since Sisoft Sandra shows that my memory speed is slightly above that of PC3200 as CAS3 it could be off, but that is hard to say given the CPU overclock.

Nope, CPUID is right. You are running at those crazy high memory timings. Like I said many times before, the BIOS settings don't work. The board is way past broken IMHO.

BTW - 234MHz FSB is not impressive. A better board will get you much higher.

Butch84, the 865 Neo2 has better performance than the 875, and the 865 DOES support PAT. Can't recall where the reviews were, it was either at Anand, or Toms hardware. I prefer the Neo2 865 FIS2R over the 875 version of the same. It's cheaper, faster, however no ECC memory support. I was thinking of buying it, but not now until I find out more about these heat issues.
