Setting it at 300mhz x9 = bringing it to 2.7 ghz.
EDIT: That was it. I set it to 250mhz x9 and it worked fine. Now to figure out why 2.7 ghz isn't stable. That really sucks...I'm using an Arctic Freezer Pro 7 and two case fans blowing directly on it. Any ideas? I haven't touched volts or anything. What, if anything, should I be changing in there? I'm completely new to OCing, so maybe I'm just missing a key option or something.
EDIT 2: I just realized there's something on the actual board that it looks like I should have installed...the GURU panel connection header? What does this do, and is this necessary for a successful overclock? Where do I get the cables to hook this up? Thanks for all the help!
The voltages will need to be adjusted to compliment your new FSB and the additional requirements it places on the chipset (and its sub-features like CPU VTT, ICHIO, whatever). Adjust as conservatively as you can if you are new to OC'ing: no offense intended but, baby steps.
The uGuru Panel is an optional Abit accessory one can purchase. It fits in a drive bay so you can access uGuru features directly from that panel instead of from the OS. It is not required for normal or even stellar operation of the motherboard... though I'd love to run across one just for the fun of giving it a whirl!
For all your AB9 QuadGT downloading needs:
Abit-Taiwan FTP: ftp://ftp.abit.com.tw/pub/download/
uGuru 3.104 : ftp://ftp.abit.com.tw/pub/download/utilities/uguru/3.104/uguru_v3104.zip
If in doubt, use the Global website. It loads most consistently and is most oft updated: http://www2.abit.com.tw/page/en/mot...tail.php?pMODEL_NAME=AB9+QuadGT&fMTYPE=LGA775
