Okay here is the run down. I have an AMD 64 3200+, MSI K8N Neo Platinum, PNY 6800GT, 512Meg 500MHz Kingston HyperX with Hynix chips (yeh), X2 Western Digital 80GB SATA Hard Drives Running in RAID 0 (stripping), and great air flow running through the case. The 6800GT is overclocked to 425/1.1, and when the CPU is at stock runs at 11,828 in 3D Mark03. The problem is when I go over 203MHz FSB at a mulitplier of 10 my system will choke on anything that remotly works up a sweat. I have flip floped every which way with the FSB and multiplier, and it's a brick wall. I have done pleny'o research and every article I read from every site says when they push this chip they either get 300 FSB multiplier of 7, or 232 FSB multiplier of 10. I find this nowhere neer possible. Any help would be good help.
 
I have the same board and proc, I think its just a BIOS problem. I have had alot of problems with the board, including temps being way way to high and also OCing problems. I tried a Beta BIOS and it helped some but the BIOS is crap, it never should have been released in its current state. :mad:

Do you have any problems restarting or after going into the bios do you have problems after exiting?
 
Yes when I boot sometimes I get detecting aray... and there it will sit. sometmes I must reset it 2 or 3 times to boot. Also thanks for the link. I'll check it out.

you can try to turn off SATA and raid that should get stop it, I have it all turned off and I still have problems starting
 
Yeh, but I don't want to sacrifice my RAID for a bump in MHz. I want these articles to tell the truth and admit they have probems. It seems they care more about gettig recognition from the manufacturer than giving an honest review.
