3. Is there a visual guide to OC for BX2? There was one in the ASUS p5B Deluxe few mths back

The default memory freq is 800. As soon as you start to raise the FSB, because of the way the frequency settings interact, your memory will start to overclock as well. By lowering the memory frequency to 667, you'll be underclocking the memory so that if you do have problems, you'll know it's NOT the memory causing them. When you've got the CPU stable at a particular FSB, then you can start playing with the memory frequency again to see how high you can push the memory.

The PCIe frequency isn't tied to the FSB on this board so don't even worry about it.

There isn't a guide as of yet but I'm working on one.
