Has anyone here dealt with this motherboard before?

I was able to get my q6600 up to 3.4Ghz on my old DFI Blood-iron motherboard with a slight voltage tweak and was able to clock it up to 3.0 without changing a single setting in the bios other than the FSB (333x9).

With this MSI board, I can't even get the thing stable at 3.0 :(

I've tried increasing the voltages until it boots into windows (with everything set to auto, it would BSOD while windows was loading), but every time I try running prime, it crashes to a black screen almost instantly. I'm running, except for the mobo, the same system that's in my signature.

I wish I did a little more research about this board before swapping it out. It looks like these things aren't the best overclockers around, but I'll be pretty disappointed if I can't even clock this thing up to 3.0

Has anyone here run a Q6600 on one? what settings did you use and for what kind of OC?
 
These boards were really intended as cruel jokes. They are not good OCers. I had one and ended up giving up on it as I had a similar situation.
