I've put together another quad-core system using a Kentsfield and the P5K Deluxe. The mosfets on the board get very hot. Active cooling is a must. So far, no problems. At 3.2GHz and 1.4v, temps are 46-47C (according to Asus Probe) with 100% load. At 3.4GHz and 1.43v, I'm getting 51C. The CPU will also do 3.5GHz with 1.45v. Have not tested any higher than that. Weather is just too hot right now. Using a Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme with fans in a push-pull configuration.
Components:
QX6700 B3
Asus P5K Deluxe
Super Talent DDR2-800 (2x1GB)
Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme
Silverstone OP650
Cheap VGA card (for testing purposes only)
