To get mine to 3.0 I dropped my mem down to 667mhz so the memory wouldn't have any effect on the overclock. Then I took the fsb to 1333 at about 1.44v to start out and then slowly backed down to 1.36 where it's stable. After I got the OC on the CPU stable I then worked my ram back to 800mhz at 5-5-5-15 with 2.01v. Oh and I had to give the north bridge 1.56v in order to get my clocks stable.

forgot to post what i have gotten with this board these days
and its on a new 45nm chip
anywho, my e8400 is 100% stable at 4005mhz
it seems if i go ANY further, it becomes a catastrophic failure
but 4+ghz is all i want.

i cant do any of that i automatically get a blue screen just switching my settings to manual from auto in the cpu settings....seriously i tried everything u said then when i tried to load my computer under default i still got a blue screen, then when i change the cpu settings to auto it stopped..which bios version u got i have 901 u think i just update?

[jchapman805]

i dont under stand xtas for some reason i can start up my computer with 1333fsb with ram at 800 with your settings now with this new bios update but..it still wont let me into windows vista...i wont even get a blue screen it will just go black and restart my computer...wierd, the new bios helped with some glitches though

[jchapman805]

well what i did is just kept everything stock but setup my multiplier to 11 so i got it at 2.93ghz with 1066fsb, the best it can handle

I had many of the same problems mentioned above. I can't tell you how familiar I am with my cmos battery lmao. Anyway, I finally found my sweet spot and maybe it will help others.

The key for me was getting a 1:1 ratio. You should try that imo.

hey jchapman805. This board is excellent for overclocking dual cores. The problem is that it can't handle quad cores much higher than 3ghz (if even that) because of the 4phase power on this mobo.

You will be better off getting a p45, which are very cheap (especially from gigabyte) and will oc quads well, especially with your unlocked multiplier. You could even get a p35 which is the same chip, just without official 1600fsb support.

No need to flame this mobo...it's only bad in your case because you did not research before you put in your quad.
