Hi
I hav got a nice overclock on my k8n neo 2 platinum with my amd 64 3200
processor. Its runnin @ 2.5ghz with a 3.3 % increase in vcore Cpu is rock stable reaches 47c-48c on prime 95 runnin for 6hrs. This is how i done it

htt multi 4x
fsb 250
timings 2.5 3.3.8
vdimm 2.8
bios version 1.9
the problem im having is my sata drives r not happy for some reason. i think the sata controllers r reading curruted data.
when just my ide hd is connected its fine. When i put the cpu to its normal speed its fine

Any ideas guys?

Have you checked with MSI to see if they have new drivers for your motherboard/chipset? Use the MSI Live Monitor tool to check. It'll be on your drivers cd if you don't already have it installed.

I'm not sure how it works with your mobo, but I know that of the four SATA connectors on a mobo, the drive has to be connected to 3 or 4, which are locked just like the PCI/AGP/PCI-e frequencies.

If the connector you used isn't locked, then your FSB will be limited to around 220-230Mhz.

EDIT: Try hooking your SATA drive to one of the orange connectors by the CPU. Those are 3 and 4 of the NF3 chipsets SATA controller, and should be locked.

Thanks for the reply guys its definately not a driver issue.It seems to be a bios or overclock issue. I have 4 sata drives only 1 out of the four work when overclocked which is sata3
