Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
just wanna let you guys know that there's a new bios version available for the p5b-vm: version 0405.
according to the scant info over at asus' support page, it adds recognition for new processors (probably the quad-cores). dunno if it improves overclocking, tho', since i sold my board...
have you verified the operating voltage of your ram? the p5b-vm only supports ram with voltages between 1.8v to 1.95v. although some have been able to run ram with higher voltage requirements on this board, it's a hit-or-miss thing if you're above the specc'ed requirements for vram.
try to...

@cyrana: thanks. at least i could rest easy about not being able to revert back to 0207.
yeah, this is a sucky board. hardly worth the money i plunked down to get it. i should have stuck with my asrock board for the time being, at least until the g965 chipset matures a bit more.
oh, well...
hmm...seems i'm a bit "luckier" than you guys in overclocking this board.
i managed to get up to fsb 287 on a single 1gb stick of apacer ddr2-800. but anything above that, the system won't post.
personally, i feel this is a major bummer, since the board that preceded this one, a cheap...
got this board about a week ago and was actually excited when i did so, 'cause i've been waiting for it to arrive locally (philippines) for the longest time, and i've been regretting my decision ever since.
first, my ddr2-667 absolutely won't work with the board. i had to get new ram just to...
