I currently have a e2140 in this board (just ordered a q6600), but if I do any adjustments in M.I.T the board will not take it, it does its dual reboot thing and resets back to normal. Does this just mean I have a bad board?

If your overclocking the E2140 it's probably not stable at the settings you have therefore it's rebooting & setting back to normal. Post your settings then members can assist you in overclocking.

No, I can overclock the FSB 1mhz and leave everything stock and it won't boot.

also are there any known issues with vista64 and this board?

Vista 64 is working fine for me

As for your oc'ing problem can you post the settings you have in the MIT section?

Hello. I've been trying to get a serious OC on my Q9450 for a while now, but it seems the board is limiting the OverVoltage control of the NB and the FSB. I managed to get a quite stable 3.31Ghz OC, but i can't even get 10 Mhz more. My guess is that 0.3Voltage boot on the FSB and NB simply isn't enough. 1800Mhz FSB speed is needed to hit 3.6~4Ghz with this processor, and right now, i see no way to make this board go past his Maximum attainable FSB Speed (1660Mhz, I think).

So, here's my question. Is there a way to increase the FSB and NB voltage w/o using the BIOS? And if not, is there even a way to do it ?

Thanks in advance ~ Knex/Sam.

Attached is the Excel spreadsheet that I created for the Bios options for the F7 bios revision of this board.

It would be AWESOME if some of your hardcore overclockers shared your settings with the rest of us.

I can't get my Q9300 past 3.1 GHZ (415x7.5) I know this chip can do more, so I think it must be my settings.......

Please share! Thanks!

ZDarryl: You should disable C1E as well as EIST in the BIOS.

I run my fsb at 1960Mhz 24/7 with no adverse affects so far. What is your vcore? You might want to drop the mb and fsb voltage down one notch to .2v/.2v.

The thing is, when I do that, it won't boot, or it randomly freezes during windows startup. So I figured it might be a VOltage problem, and bumped it up.
My Vcore is 1.264. Another thing i have noticed is that the BIOS don't set the exact same voltages. I mean, I think my Vcore is set to 1.325 in the BIOS, but CPU-Z, and all the other programs I use read 1.264. Gonna see if taking the FSB/NB Voltages down helps. Also, what processor are you using ?
