OK I Just got an E4300 with some OCZ PC6400 rev 2.2 and a Gigabyte-965-DS3 rev 3.3. I also got a scythe Ninja with it.

Just wondering; it seems like the motherboard is auto adjusting the FSB multiplier between 6 and 9 automatically; when the system is under load the multiplier goes back up to 9. Is there a way to avoid this? Or is it essentially harmless? I'm worried it will affect stability. I am pretty sure I disabled all the "automatic" functions in the bios.

Other than that, seems like everything is in order; I dislike my motherboard doing things when I don't tell it to though (like multiplier/voltage adjustments...)
 
Yeah I was pretty sure I disabled it in the BIOS, but evidently not >_<

I'll double check.

tried 350x9 and it booted right up; ran orthos for an hour and nothing bad happened except the CPU temp was 70C. Interestingly, core1 and Core 2 were both 60C :T so I don't know what's going on there.

I'll try to fiddle with the voltages and what not; I hate watching the numbers bounce around in CPU-Z
