'sup guys...
I'm writing this for an austrian fellow which has the same weird problems with his P5P800.
Once he pushes the FSB above a certain level, the board just goes nuts on the frequencies. CPU-Z reports ackward stuff like
this
The funny thing is, it's not a Clockgen thing. Setting the FSB in the BIOS produces the same results, heck, it even shows this kind of BS on the POST screen...

That just can't be it. BIOS updates and CMOS resets didn't help either. I've suggested to RMA the board, but since looktall has similar problems it's probably a general P5P800 problem and/or incompatibility rather than a faulty component on his specific board.
as a sidenote, im having a blast with my AS8 even though the vcore likes to drop up to 0.1V under load (nah, it's not the PSU... the system is powered by a 520W OCZ, the 3.3/5/12 rails are perfectly stable).
I have to admit that this screenshot was done kamikaze style - not stable at all... still Aircooled due to the lack of a Vapochill LS 775 Socket-Kit, i'm hoping for 4.2 Ghz stable with the LS, maybe even more.
