Ok, I just my my epox 8rda3+ and mobile 2600+. I can post up to 2625mhz (that I've tried) but anything about 2.2ghz or so and I can't get into Windows. It's not a hard freeze, either. It just reboots right when the windows xp slash screen would pop up. Raising the vcore just makes things worse.

Here's an interesting screencap from MBM:

edit: look at the +3.3v in particular.
 
First thing to do is make sure you have MBM configured correctly. The Core1, -12, -5 values suggest mis-labeled, mis-interpreted sensors. Visit the MBM site to check what sensor reads what voltage.
 
Oddly enough, when I removed everything but my hard drive i was able to get as far as "load your personal settings" in windows xp before it rebooted @ 2400mhz

looks like 3v3 is the vdimm reading

kinda looks like that, doesn't it? i'm looking in the mbm site for help
 
Easy way to find out if the odd "+3.3" is your memory voltage is to change your Vmem and see what MBM says afterwards.

Core1 looks like it's your AGP signaling voltage.
 
try out the
unified system diagnostic manager (USDM)
itshould be on the cd that came with your mobo
 
i've found that mbm is does not give accurate readings all the time, and does not read some readings, i've found that sisandra cpu and mainboard information to be on par
