Stock temperatures are great (cpu steady at 93°F) running at 2.4ghz per core. Now I'm ready to start...
Unfortunately, I think we are out of luck with this board where beastly overclocking is concerned. It seems that the only way to OC the processor is by setting the FSB accordingly but with the NF4 chipset it doesnt allow how FSB rates. So this means we are very limited on how much we can get out...
I've actually tried running the voltage up appropriately for the CPU and memory and none of it has really done any good. Seems that I cant get about the 1300 FSB mark and remain stable. Its sad because @ 2.55 ghz the thing runs like a dream and barely gets to 90° F with this Big Typhoon. So much...
thx bro... its good to know where I can take this thing. However this BIOS is really different from anything I've seen before and there is noway for me to configure it like that... maybe I need to take some SS's and post them on here. I did find another hardware site that did a review on it...
This motherboard has some built in over clocking features that basically gets this processor running @2.56ghz (2.13 core2 duo) with NO problems whatsoever... I put a Thermaltake BIG TYPHOON on this thing to give myself plenty of headroom, but I was just wondering if there was anyone out there...
