Didn't try F3 yet, flashed directly to F4, which was crap in terms of FSB overclocking, couldn't even do FSB400, large FFTs were highly unstable. That was fixed with F5f. Now FSB460 is Prime stable. This is with a quad and 4x1024MB.

At stock tRD is set to 4, that's way too tight. When not setting CommandRate to 2T manually, board sometimes resets settings on cold boot like when overclocking too high. So at least I set tRD and CommandRate manually.
