I finally found out why I could not even attempt to oc. I had read earlier about a person that was using a corsair 620 and he changed out the power cord. I changed out the power cord and I can now oc. Does anyone know why this is???????
you should get to about 350 fsb on default vcore or a slight increase (that's on a good chip)...BUT...if you are using four 1gig sticks, that will make it more difficult.

MCH, ICHIO 1.5 and Vdimm all play important roles besides vcore.
