I know it's only a few mhz but not reaching 333 would p**s me off too. It still annoys me I can't get stable at 3.2
Humm, maybe you're right. I got the same mainboard of yours (1.03g) and the strange thing is that it's easy to reach 3Ghz but i get random errors during file transfers and "not exact in round" with superpi. If i use 1.85Vmch all is ok.
What about the noise of a 40mm fan on the nb?
