I and many other MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI users are experiencing a FSB bug (or HTT bug) that prevents overclocks higher than 220MHz on POST with the Winchester core.

All others, NewCastle and Clawhammer, are Overclocking just fine.

It appears to be a BIOS issue, as you can overclock while within Windows XP to higher levels, you just can't reboot at those levels. :mad:

Please warn your users that may be thinking about a Winchester core and the MSI board to either purchase a NewCastle or wait for the BIOS update.

Hurry up MSI!
 
We've been over this issue lots in the "official" thread :).

I think it's a voltage issue that hopefully will be solved with a BIOS revision. I just boot at stock speeds and then adjust voltage and FSB with a ClockGen profile I have running when windows loads. Board runs great at 9x267 w/1.5V.
