Well i didnt know where to post but i thought this would be an idea place to do so.If its the wrong one,Mods please move it to the correct section 
Ok now i have this combo in here for quite some time.Due to my lack of time right now,i though of taking these 2 for a spin later but lately i have been reading a lot of reports of latest steppings of Conroe,Allendales being bad overclockers.The thought, 'Whether i got a rotten egg' kept haunting me,so i finally decided to see what i got. So far so good,initial tests look positive.
While testing i found out some interesting things that might interest Asus P5N32-E SLI owners here
Ok now i set 1.3V in BIOS for Vcore.Booted into windows,checked Asus probe and i see 1.3V,interesting but nothing great,alright,maybe Asus fixed Vdroop in latest BIOS,who cares
Just to test stability @ 2.4GHz, i ran orthos and left it there.while killing some time on the PC doing nothing,i found something interesting, with full load Asus probe showed Vcore = 1.28V

I was like WTF ! This is a Asus Board and it must have massive Vdroop I monitored it for a good 15-20 mins and it didnt budge a little
Does this mean that with newer board revision and latest BIOS,Asus has solved the Vdroop issue or am i just jumping to conclusion too early
BTW, this chip is doing 2.4 @ 1.3V,not bad for starters.

I am still on stock cooler so not going beyond 3G ,
Settings -
Vcore in BIOS - 1.4V
Vcore in Windows - 1.39V
Vcore with Orthos Running - 1.38V
So Vdroop is still 0.02V Wooot !!!
here is a Suicide or quick shot though 3.4GHz
Temps were scary @ 3.4 so rolled back immediately.
Please note,this effort of clocking was meant for testing the Vdroop and to some extent the OC potential of the Chip. There is a lot more in this chip though.
Oh and btw,the stepping is Q641A373
Nothing more till i slap on my WC kit on after a few days.
