Wow I installed this new BIOS and ran the exact same settings from the last BIOS, and so far 450 is stable. I did not adjust the two new setting, but my guess is that it is just a more stable release. The two added options are Clock Skew options for fine tuning timings between the buses on the board. When data flows out of sink from one another the system becomes unstable, By adjusting the Skew you can advance or delay the information sent down the transmission lines.
These options can help to increase stability at higher clocks.
Anyway I have to thank you Leeg for finding this, because it has already proven to be better IMO.
@Ten:
If you really think that I am gonna spend 12 hours reading this 76 page thread you are crazy. For me OCing is a hobby not a job, unfortunately I have A LOT of other responsibilities. On the other hand I guess I could take some time out of each day for the next 2 months just so that I can OC my PC a little bit more.
At any rate I find it easier and faster to ask for help from experienced people. I really didn't see any harm in asking but I forget that there are a lot of stubborn people that put out a lot of work here. I see where they are coming from but I don't see why they insist that EVERYONE learns the same way.
What I am saying is that I respect that you must have read massive amounts of post, articles and reviews to accomplish your OCing and understanding. Me personally I would like to skip the long stuff learn it all in layman's terms, by some one that enjoys the feeling of the pride they get for successfully help another person. Thank you very much for your suggestion. It is the way to go but I guess I am a bit to lazy, but I like to think of it as more efficient.
