I may be coming back to this thread fulltime y'all. The BlackOps [aka POS board] has so many bugs that unlesss you are running an extreme CPU with CellShock RAM [eventhough I know of a guy that has a QX9770, with a boat load of high end Corsair Dominator RAM that can't even get it to POST at default 333/400FSB specs, sad sad sad] it just won't work right for you. I, myself, had to fight so much to get it to boot my Q9450 at 2.66Mhz [8x multiplier] that it just killed the whole experience for me. To top it off, when I shutdown/turn it on, it randomly load its own settings, like 6x multiplier. And don't even get me started on the fact that it down right refuses to run my RAM at 6-6-6-18 -2T [rated specs for 1333Mhz] due to the fact that if you up the RAM voltage to anything above 1.648v it does not POST at all.
