I too have this board and it oc like a dream with the my E6750. I just replaced that with the E8400 and it is horrible. CPU-Z does not show correct v-core, nor does everest. Used Sysfan to finally get something that does. Also, not sure if the temps it is showing are that acurate as they are...

anyone?

Ok, I wanted to find out if it had anything to do with the FSB limiting it. Didn't how it could as I had the E6750 up to 450. Well, I lowered the multiplier to 8 and now have the FSB up to 470 with the E8400. I upp'd the NB volts some to get this as the first time it wouldn't post. Didn't...

This is my second overclock. I replaced my e6750 with the E8400. I had the E6750 running 24/7 at 3.6 stable (was stable at 3.75 but backed off a bit for daily use). I want to have the E8400 around 4.2 ish. Right now when I overclock higher than 3.9 it will not post. 3.9 runs Prime overnight...

Would love to be the lucky winner!

Since my last posting I purchased 4GB of crucial Ballistix PC8500. With that I was able to get the FSB up to 450 with a 1:2.4 ratio (memory is at 1086 with this ratio and is set at 5-5-5-15). I haven't tried to go any higher but I am sure I can as it is completely stable at this FSB with 1.39...

The E6750 is only a 8 multiplier. That is the only bad thing about it, if you can say that. How am I running stable right now at 400 with 667 memory. 400*2 = 800, well over the 667 memory I am running.

I am very new to overclocking using the BIOS. I just built my second HTPC/Gaming rig. This time with some major overclocking in mind. I purchased the E6750 per Tom's hardware testing and overclocking he was able to get on it with only air cooling. I am using a Silverstone L17 case, Rosewell...
