Portcityslim, all the things you stated are reasonable enough, but your 45nm cpu plays different with your board than that 65nm cpu. You'd be surprised how an easier overclock it will be for you. Instead of merely moving voltages around,
1. Clear cmos
2. start all over from stock and move up in 5 increments, changing nothing till absolutely necessary, starting with vcore, vnb, and fsbt
3. Remember, that 9x450 is a higher speed than what your board was running previously, in my experience, you may need a tad higher nb to cope nicely with the speedier processor
4. Stay away from modded bioses for the moment until you know what is stable on a normal bios
Better luck.
