Have the above with..

AMD64 3500 Winch
OCZ PC3200 EL Rev2
Seagate 160GB sata

Some questions..

I have the wifi version is this gona be a prob?

I believe 1009 bios version is the latest is this OK with volt reporting etc?

Im concerned about the sata ports having working locks on I have it in the red 1's running off the promise controller, the black VIA 1's are unfortnatly obscured by my feckin huge Gainward 6800GT.

I have it running stock everything atm and plan on pushin the clocks with the stock cooling to see what i can get. Then Im sticking on an XP-120 with a 125 CFM fan and maybe up the voltage.

Also how accurate is ASUSprobe with temp and volt reporting compared with mobomonitor?
 
Hmm, if you have the wifi one with the green box you have a rev1 board which DOES NOT having working locks. If you really want to overclock i'd suggest not using sata drives
 
I would recommend downloading ClockGen and it will tell you if your AGP/PCI locks are working. Be sure to set them to 66/33 in the bios. If you leave them to auto they are NOT locked!!!!

If you have a Rev2 board you should be fine. I use the VIA SATA ports.

Set your HTT to 4, I would recommend setting the memory ratio to 5:3 to start with so you can see what the max is on the processor is. I would dive right in at least 2.4ghz and go up from there. Don't up the voltage until you think you need it. My 3200+ Winchester runs at 2.5ghz with stock cooling and stock voltage with no stability issues at all.
 
Is defo rev2 says so on the board.

can u get right angled sata cables could maybe get to the VIA 1's with 1 of those??

Also has anyone fitted a XP-120 on this any pointers would be sweet

still would like help on voltage settings/readings can I trust the progs/bios that read them etc?
