thanks for your suggestions i , have upped all my voltages at some point,
but i still cant get it to go past the 3gh ,

i did get it to 3.2 but i could not get it stable and when i rebooted the pc froze and i lost all my settings, and did'nt get chance to write them down.

this board is a nightmare.

will i be better off takeing two ram out of the pc and try with just 2 instead of the 4 i have at the moment?

regards
