My board is running 1001 bios. i just looked on the asus website and theres only one step up from it, is there much point / much gain in updating it?

Not if you're running your system at stock or if your overclock is fine.

wow I didn't know they recycled the 650i lol. That's too bad because if I was gonna SLI the 750i would be the first boards I would look at because of price.

Its near enough the same NB but with the extra chip for PCI-e 2.0.

Hey, I want to get my e6400 to around 3.6ghz with my new xigmatek that I plan on getting...will my northbridge run too hot at 450fsb?

You will mostl likely need to raise the nb voltage at 450fsb to 1.56v. You should reseat the nb cooler with a good tim (preferably nonconductive) and rig a fan to blow over it.
Aftermarket solutions such as the Thermalright HR-05 and Thermaltake Spirit work very well also, but the first method should save some cash

I haven't posted on here in a while. Around the time of July tenth, I got Crysis for my computer. Little uneducated me decides that he should overclock his computer. Not knowing what to do, I merely follow some instructions I had seen earlier.
Here's the exact pages I posted on: http://www.overclock.net/intel-mothe...hread-748.html
http://www.overclock.net/intel-mothe...hread-749.html
I even ask what the MB PCIE Frequency is, and get told not to change it, as I will destroy something. Guess what I do? I change it. To 1.56V.

Quoted from myself, "I changed the nb to 1.56v, and I changed the PCIE Clock to 125 Mhz.Now, should I keep the FSB Mhz at 1333?"

Next post, from me as well: "Ok, whenever I play Crysis now, it starts, then it freezes, and loops whatever sound was just playing. I believe this is from overheating, but I'm not sure. Anyone have a solution?"

Yes, I changed things that should not have been changed. Someone told me not to, someone said I should, they had a better PSU, and my computer goes kaput. Now, the computer does what the second post says. It does freeze, irritatingly enough. When frozen, the keyboard, the pointer, EVERYTHING is frozen. Restarting the computer is the only fix. An 8800 GT would make the computer freeze much faster than a PCX 5300. Further more, I recently RMA'd the mobo to get the computer fixed. Now the computer can run an 8800 GT perfectly. However, here's the problem. It freezes.

No, not because of the graphics card. It's the RAM. When using two sticks of RAM, the computer freezes after a while. One stick makes the computer work fine, just slow playing games. My Raptor Jesus sheet is incorrect, the RAM is Adata, same model, one gig each. The RAM is completely identical, and worked fine before this overclocking. Now, I'm not sure what the problem is: the PSU, or the mobo? I have tested the RAM individually, for 17 passes each using MemTest, and it displayed no errors. That should mean it is the PSU or the mobo.

The only thing I told Asus is that I 'knew' it was the PCI Bus which was broken. Guess not. Or do you think it is a PSU problem? I would like help please.

TL;DR: Two sticks of RAM makes the computer freeze, one stick doesn't, RAM is fine. PSU or Mobo?

try different slots for the memory. I don't think it is a psu problem
