Which bios do you use to get the high OC?

And what's the difference between n5tba207 n5taa207 ? (any performance gains?)

Im using the newest bios off the biostar website. It allows me up to 300htt stable.

I'm thinking the older BIOS' are the ones that allow up to like 320htt.

And there are a few modded bios at rebelshaven.com . But I haven't tried any of em'.

PS: another difference maker could be the versions of the boards too. There's like 1.2 through 1.5(SE)

You may want to try increasing the vdimm. I was unstable and couldn't figure why since my ram was running right around pc6400 (its rated pc6400 1.8vdimm), i upped the vdimm to 2.0 and it works fine now...

Try sifting through some of the biostar/3600+ threads at hardforums.com and xtremesystems.org/forums. They helped me a bunch.
