Ok, so I am new to the forum and new to OC again (it has been a long time.) I used to work as a network admin about 4 years ago and got into another business. Now I am back and catching up.

I have a bunch of systems running in my house. My traveling gaming rig is E7200@3178 FSB1334, 4GB Gskill PC8000@999, ATI 4850 @750/1188. All perfectly stable. So I have a little figured out.

BUT, my main gaming rig (kinda started out budget then grew a little) is MSI k9Nsliv2 with AMD 5000+BE. System has 2x2GB OCZ1066, Corsair TX750 ps, 2x9800GTX SLI, Zalman 9500LED, single 500GB WD sata.

I am trying to overclock it and I am having problems. I am assuming it is board related. I set it manually in bios to 16x and it accepts it fine. I leave fsb at 200 stock. Set voltage to max mb will allow (which is low from what I have seen in limited reading here). Restart and bios reports 3200mhz. Go into Vistax32 and CPUZ reads stock multiplier (x13) and reports it as 2612 mhz. I have tried several multipliers with same result. What gives here?

Sorry for such stupid questions. I know I need a better MB. Spent too much $$ already trying to catch up but I might have to just upgrade board. Is the 5000BE worth keeping anyway? My e7200@3178 seems WAY faster.

Any help appreciated.
