I know the board in question is really old, but I've got a question for anyone who has/had one.
I ran an abit F-I90 for 2 years using an e4300 oc'ed from 1.8 to 2.2 and it was rock solid. I recently swapped out for a q6600, flashed to the latest BIOS, and am trying to OC to 3.0. I've got it set to 333*9 with ram locked at 667 which is the spec for my corsair xms2. I'm running an aftermarket dual 120mm fan heatsink with 4 heatpipes and ambient temps are around 39C.
For whatever reason, this thing keeps bluescreening and/or having apps/plugins crash. I just bumped up to 1.4v CPU and bumped one tick on my NB voltage, but I'm leaving RAM voltage alone since it's not oc'ed and due to the weak RAM power circuitry.
The one thing I can't figure out, is how do you lock your PCI-E spread to 100mhz, or is that not possible on this board? I read reports of FSB's going to 360 on average, and reports of 375 on some, but I can't even get a solid 333 and I'm thinking it is due to PCI-e timings as I ran this proc at 3.0 on a different board for 6 months.
Board actually ran Prime95 Small FFT's all night last night (8 hours) without locking up.Today during normal web browsing I had explorer crash on me and Java keeps randomly crashing - none of which happened prior to the OC and temps are remaining sub 55c
