Just a quick 2 cents worth to add to the original post. I have a Gigabyte 965 DS3, rev2.0 w/E6600 and 2x2GB RAM @ 800Mhz. Everything is super stable, etc. No problems. I can OC without much effort, typically by only adding +.2v on memory (recommended by OCZ for the sticks I have) and then leaving all other voltages at 'normal/auto'. No problems. No complaints. Haven't fiddled enough to see where the ceilings are at, but with stock voltages (other than +.2 on memory), I run routinely @ 2700 CPU (9x300fsb) and 900Mhz / 5-5-5-15 (3x multiplier) Memory. Runs MEMTEST without fail and Core Temps top out around 48/49 under longterm loads (when load drops, temps drop back to 38/39 - I still use EIST).

At any rate, all is well.. or WAS well.. until I added a second LCD monitor to my video card (BFG OC 7600GT w/dual DVI). Took me a bit to make the connection, since I was running stock speeds when I added it and left at stock speeds for a few days before going back to an OC'd configuration. After some repeated failed attempts (every time I configured for OC, the system would reset,.. then reset a second time, bringing config back to locked CPU config (no clock control) and stock speeds and multipliers on everything.

After finding this thread (the original post), I picked up on the clue of Video being a possible cause for inability to set and OC configuration that would stick. Sure enough... if I power OFF my 2nd monitor during P.O.S.T., the overclocked settings 'stick' and everything boots up normally. If I boot/reboot with the 2nd monitor ON, the reset action takes place and I'm back to default/stock settings.

A little frustrating, since I share the computer with others in my household and they don't know, can't recall consistently enough, to keep the 2nd Monitor OFF during boot-up... especially during a reboot. They forget every time.

So,.. I'm back to running stock speeds most of the time, again. If I fire up with the intent of 3D Gaming, etc., I set the OC up, keep my 2nd monitor OFF, and boot up @ 2700/900 for a nice performance overall performance gain. If I'm just editing photos, surfing, etc., I set to stock config (except for Memory, which I must manually control to set to 800, since the SPD will instruct 667 on these particular OCZ modules). Kind of a pain, really.

Just thought I'd pass along the Dual-monitor issue. It's clearly a problem, as I've now 'proven' the issue repeatedly. Perhaps it's a by product of my particular Video Card (the BFG OC 7600GT/dual-DVI), I don't know. I'd be interested to know if I'm the ONLY one seeing a dual monitor = no overclocking on POST issue?

just lookinf find important info

for ds3 will run the new 45 nm of intel cpu have to update new BIOS version F13o Remember is very importatn for compability .....

just in case..
