I'm happily running 4.0-CURRENT on an ABIT BP6 w/ 2 celeron 300's with monster cooling fans and running at 450MHz. Apart from it overheating yesterday (there are 6 high-rpm drives in it) when I closed the case for the first time, I had some Wierd Stuff(TM). Taking the cover back off solved it. This isn't suprising since it's very much in the "Don't do that" department and having all the extra drives in a confined space and being in the middle of summer here was asking for trouble (and I got it). Your mileage may vary, don't try overclocking at the very least until you have verified it as stable and no major problems are present. Trying to debug something with malfunctioning overheating cpus isn't much fun. Better still, don't overclock it at all if you value your sanity. In particular do not send in problem reports unless it's reproduceable without overclocking. Beware, the 3.x code does not support the UDMA66 connectors. You can only use the UDMA33 IDE connectors. You have to be running the absolute very latest -current to use the UDMA66 controller.
