I have been testing this chip the last 2 days. I'm using a stock Intel HSF for now. Asus Maximus Formula SE 401 bios. 505 wont post with this chip. I'm also stuck on the 8 multi. Not the 8.5 this chip is rated at. So. 2.66 instead of 2.83. Some stock benchmarks:
13k in 3Dmark 06 with an 8800GTX:

After a little bit of tweaking in the bios:
This chip is looking promising.
