Not necessarily but maybe.

What Bios version are all "yall" (Texas) using?

[dpawl31]

I am on 0505, the guys with unlocked multis hate it, it locks the multi to 10x.
But I don't have that option anyway, 14multi FTW! lol.

Use the 04 bios

hi all
this is a long thread,should be able to find someone with a similar spec to me,i have c2d e4300 and i am trying to overclock,currently using the bios 505 but its locked my multiplier to x9 - i do get to choose others but they do not save and reverts back to the x9.
also wanted to know if anyone else with the same chipset has been able to go beyond 375 fsb - seems to be a big wall there and i cant get over it,lol,i have had no luck with ram,currently on 667 with fsb on 1332=333,
whats interesting is i can get the ram up to 980mhz if i leave cpu alone and keep at stock speeds,as soon as i lowered ram speeds and timings to auto fsb could be increased,at 1333 i cant get the ram any higher than 667,
would really like to know what all e4300 experiences people have had,pity really as this ram is supposed to reach speeds of 1066,
thanks in advance for any suggestions or tips,and have a happy easter everyone.
kind regards
paul

Just one post up mate.....Use 0401. And there's plenty of people who've gone beyond 375, and a few who've made it over 500!

Welcome to the thread!

i am guessing you are using 9x multiplier 1460fsb=365fsb and ram running 730mhz - which would also indicate you can not exceed 375 with e4300 either,bit of a buggar really as my ram will reach speeds of 1066 but only if i leave cpu at stock speeds,i think asus still need to release a bios to address this,i personally think this is the most important fix,
lets hope they do something m8
