I haven't found a solution to this problem, so I'm just over clocking using EasyTune5 through windows. This certainly isn't the best solution, but gets the job done for now.

i fixed problem. i changed my ram slots. these are in 3 - 4 slots but now 1 - 2 slots. and im in 3,2 ghz now

anyone know if the cooler master TX cpu fan is blow air onto the cpu or pull air out? because im idling at 20C@3ghz.

Howzit...been reading what I can about oc'ing, havent done much to
my mobo exept change my mem timings to 4-4-4-12, up'd the mem volts to 2.053 something, disabled smart fan, ready to oc this baby. Where should I start?

It should be blowing towards the cooling fins because that is where the heat is.

Just got it all togerther...everthing works..whew...
not sure where to start...any helpers? The only things I have changed are: mem timings to 4-4-4-12, mem volts to 2.053, and disabled smart fan control, also disabled EIST..(someone recommended that 1). oh, download
some goodies....memtest, occ, cpu-z, super-pi, any others?

gosh no wonder my cpu isnt getting the best cool air; i have the fan right by the rear exhaust fan

Heya! What's occ? Is that Orthos? If not, I suggest grabbing either Orthos or Prime95 (I use the latter).

Anyway, since you have EIST disabled, go into M.I.T and:

- Switch CPU Host Clock Control to Enabled.
- Set your multiplier (CPU Clock Ratio)
- Go to PCI Express Frequency and manually set it to 100 MHz. Do not leave it on Auto.
- Go to System Memory Multiplier and set it at 2.0 (this will sync your RAM with your FSB at a 1:1 ratio)
- Go to System Voltage Control and set it to Manual. A red warning will flash. Ignore it. That's just the BIOS trying to say it can overclock better than you. We know that's not true.

- Go to DDR2 Overvoltage Control and set it to your RAM's rated voltage (the default on the board is 1.8 volts).
- Now go to CPU Host Clock Frequency and set it to whatever you want to start at (this is your FSB). I recommend going in small steps and testing after each adjustment to be sure you're stable.

At some point, when you get to higher frequencies with your FSB, you'll find your system's not stable. When this happens, go to CPU Voltage Control (this is the vcore) and raise it a notch. Test for stability. If it's stable, try raising the FSB again. If it's not stable, bump it up again. Rinse and repeat.

If you're really reaching for a high OC, you may have to up the voltage to the memory, northbridge and FSB as well.

Watch your temps and you should be okay.

Hope that helps.
