what it is is that we all got bad boards and his is the only one that works right, thats the only way I can explain it. I've been mercifully trudging through these bios and have yet to get higher than 450fsb in fact its really pissing me off! I have literrally tried upping my volts right up to 1.6v cpu and tweaking other volts and settings and I have 8 pages of settings that just will not work WTF.
