It absolutely will. I couldn't get past 4.0Ghz wall. But then I added +0.3 to the North Bridge and the FSB and it leaped over 4.0Ghz. (you might try +0.2v first like crackzattic said) Also. I see you are using Crucial Ballistix. That RAM runs at 2.2v. This mobo's default is 1.8v. So you'll also want to add +0.4v to = 2.2v ~JadeMiner~

What do you think to this cooler instead of the Arctic Freezer 7 Pro.

Do you think i should get that instead ????

oh yeah it will help alot with stability i have both at +3 but i have a fan screwed into the NBheatsink, but +2 i believe is fine without a fan

You need +3 to get a 3.3Ghz clock stable?? I have mine at 3.4Ghz and I only needed +1 on each. In fact I don't even think I need +1 at all, just set it to that to be safe stability wise.
EDIT: oops, I didn't see that you were using a 8x multi. Sorry!

I'm going to try 3.4GHz with +.1 on NB and FSB and see what happens. I couldn't get it too far without the +.2 but we'll see.

Are you using a 9x multiplier? Because the higher FSB you would get with using a 8x multiplier would require the extra NB and FSB voltages.

9x. Priming right now.

Does anyone know if the Scythe Mine rev B is compatible with this motherboard ?

You don't really need to get it. If you don't plan on overclocking past 3Ghz then you'll be fine with a Freezer 7.

If you still want to get it then just google the terms DS3L and the name of the heatsink together. Just browse around using your browsers search function to find keywords.

Also, not only does it have to fit your motherboard, but also your case.

I can't boot past 3.5ghz without the NB being at +3 and FSB +2. Its still pointless because It runs too hot at 3.5 and there is no way that I can get 3.6ghz stable, not even with vcore set to 1.6v in bios. At 3.4ghz I start needing +1 MCH and anything less I can run fine without adding to it. All this is based off 9x multi. Basically anything 390+ FSB I have to add +3 to MCH, which sucks because with my C2D I can run it fine with just +1mch. Of course this is just my experience and yours may differ.

yep im at 415 x 8 just works better for my ram and is more stable for me for some reason
