I apologize in advanced if my frustration gets ahead of me.
But all I keep reading is that "once you undertand this board, there is no going back". Now my question is this, how can a person that is not used to this kind of BIOS get to "understand" it if the people that DO understand it do not provide more insight that the settings they are currently using? I mean, it is nice to see you can jack this board and run your QX9xxx CPU at over 5Ghz; but what about the people that don't have LN2 or a Phase Change setup and just want a lite overclock [compared to the results of the pros]?
Now, I'm not asking for someone to figure out the settings I need, all I want is for someone to point me in the right direction. I've tried the usual overclocking procedures, like raising the FSB 10Mhz at a time, but a mere 10Mhz raise stops this board from posting, even if I raise the voltage and dial in the required settings for the RAM. Even the crappy [my opinion] P5E3 Premium allowed me to be stable at 3.2Ghz without having to get to the point of throwing this whole system out the window and calling it the day.
