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.
I have the exact setup - E6300, DS3, and Patriot 667.
I can boot to Windows XP with 7*450=3150, but not that stable.
I am settled with 7*430=3010. I have RAM +0.4V. Is Partiot 667 running 1.8V + 0.4V = 2.2V safe? Vcore is 1.344V. FSB voltage +0.1V.
And did you update your DS3 bios to F6?
