id try upping the ram voltage and dropping the timings. what is the RAM rated for? maybe this is as far as it can go. If so then you might wanna get some new stuff.....its stupidly cheap on the egg after MIRs.

thanks for the reply.
just got this ram for xmas and my cousin who got it for me didnt realize id suddenly start overclocking. is there any way to tell if its safe or dangerous to up the ram voltage +0.1v? my ram is rated at 750 and kingston suggests 1.9v.
loving this motherboard for my first overclocking experience btw. never thought this chip could go up to 3Ghz until i searched around and tried it myself.

It should be fine up to 2.2 so try it out.

if it powers down and starts again / losing the settings it means the overclock is unstable.
Have y'all +0.1 for everything? FSB, PCIe, MCH? Set pcie to 100-103Mhz, not auto. use the max rated voltage for memory.

Mine does that too but when I reconfigure with the same settings and restart, it works fine. I shut down and start from cold and it resets to default settings. Kinda annoying but not worth sending the board back. I haven't tried anything else yet. I wish they had actual voltages rather than "+0.1" in the settings.

mine is perfectly fine after it powers down n starts again
...keeps setting n all that.- Thread Starter

Would be nice but theyr easily read with a multi meter if you really want them.
Specs in the sig.
At 430 fsb I had 1.45 vcore and +0.1 for everything else. I tried everything I could and 440 wouldn't even POST. A few times I tried using 1.525 vcore and still no success.

hmmm....very strange. u tried +0.2 on the mch and fsb?

Just checked, no go
I've also tried +0.3 on both of those.
I may need to mod the NB heatsink, it idles around 35C. Add some IC7 and see if I have a fan to stick on it.
I doubt its the nb.....mines idling at 42C and its fine.

It depends what BIOS it comes with. I think it will probs need the latest. If it doesnt work you could just get a cheap 775 celery and put it in to update the BIOS and then return it or sell it on.
