Little sidenote- was not my onboard ethernet w/o internet. Was my ISP. Jerks. lol.

I am up and running again!

Good to hear.
Apprently i need to get active cooling on my NB and cooling on my SB to go higher than 2.9Ghz.

Bull**** or not?

[dpawl31]

Very possible... NB/SB may be unstable causing it.
You are over a 50% overclock... that is huge man, be happy!

Hey guys I'm stumped on what to do next. I'm totally new to OC'ing. I got my rig up and running yesterday and began tweaking it. Seems like I am hitting a wall.

I can't get past 2.4GHz by adjusting the FSB setting in BIOS. I have it set to 1099 with the voltage at the default setting. When I set the FSB to 1100 and even bump up Vcore, it won't load. I tried Vcore all the way up to 1.6 with no luck.

Here's my CPU-Z info. What else can I do? I'm shooting for 3.0GHz or a little less. Is there anything else I can change?
I'm running an E4300 processor with 2 gigs of Corsair XMS2 DDR2 5400 (PC2 675).

Man, ALWAYS lie and tell them you've tried "several" different NIC cards.

I am in the same boat as 021411.

I want to get the P5N-E and use my new E4300 in it. Since this CPU is supposed to be one hell of a overclocker I was hoping to get at least 3.5GHZ out of it.

I did some more tweaking this evening. I actually got it to 3.6 but backed off. Didn't really test it for stability but it did boot up just fine. I have it right now at 3.1 MHz (what I was shooting for).
I ended up tweaking the memory voltage and bumping up the Vcore. I'll update this post in the morning after extensive testing for errors. I'll post my settings at that time. I'm pretty excited. Although not the best benchmark program OCCT is showing it to be stable on the 30 min test. My temps are rock solid.

CPU-Z Validation.. Let me know.

Well I have never overclocked ANYTHING before....this will be my first. But I do know that there is a way to overclock JUST your CPU and not your ram....which is what I want to do since I have DDR2800mhz ram.

I am SUCH a n00b at this. LOL!!!

8 hours into Orthos Beta without any problems! Woohoo!
Don't worry Digikid.. I'm still new at this too. Yesterday was the first time ever for me to OC. Just go slow and pay attention to temps and such. A few more hours and I will get my settings from BIOS.. I'll save the profile too since it's running well (as of now).
