I can get NOTHING but 1:1 to work on my board even at STOCK speeds....
4:5 and 2:3 working fine here. Can't run 3:4 because that means dropping to the 800 strap which is just too tight for me.

2747 seems to be pretty damn good. A few people reporting that they need less vcore.

I've been having some intolerable yet somewhat "resolvable" issues with my bad axe... I'm wondering if anyone else has had these issues or if perhaps my mobo is a defect...

The first issue has to do with the bios forgetting that it can actually boot with the current oc settings after being unplugged for about an hour or more. (Of course I don't unplug my computer everyday) When I try to re-power the computer, the bios thinks I changed something and fails to post. It prompts if I would like to enter the bios to correct the changes I made. "What changes did I make?! It was OFF."
Could the battery be dead already? I purchased this mobo about 2 months ago.
I thought I read somewhere in this thread that if one completely removes the power from the mobo, it will reset the bios which then allows you fix any fatal oc settings.

To get the bios "fixed" I found I have to remove the battery for about a minute, then enter the bios and reset the memory timings. It seems to remember the FSB settings and CPU clock though.

Another issue I have had is with the network card. It completely drops connections, and absolutely will not work with Windows XP network. I know the issue is with the network card because I plugged in an el-cheapo card ($10) and now everything works perfectly. Unbelievable. At first I thought my cable modem was dieing ($60), perhaps my router ($60), but now I know for a fact it's the on board Ethernet card. WTF?

Has anyone else had issues with their on board Ethernet cards??

At this point I would guess that the first issue shows signs of mental retardation. As for the later, well I have a feeling this on board Ethernet card was fine, but recently gave up.

Talk about stability and reliability.

The Core Stuff:
CPU: E6600 @ 2.7GHZ
Cooling: stock
Motherboard: Intel D975XBX2KR
RAM: Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 (PC2 8000) @ 4-4-4-12
PSU: Corsair HX620W

Thanks again!
Boot to the maintenance menu and disable the "watchdog". That's what's reporting the failed settings.

Can't help with the ethernet port. Not heard of any problems with it. When you used the el-cheapo card, did you use the same cable or a different one?
