Any idea to make it stable @Strong or Stronger?

Also,when you flash to 1901 BIOS,RAID ICHx status disappears ?

I spent 4 weeks trying to get 490 stable. I can bench at 500, but there is no 24/7 stability. I gave up, and am running it at 471 now. I know I can go higher, but pushing the FSB to the ragged edge doesn't work well on this board. It's flaky and settings that were stable yesterday may not be stable today.

It looks like you're running small-fft. That's good for CPU top speed, but for testing the limits of the FSB I suggest you try large-fft. I think you'll see it fail much sooner and at lower FSB speeds.

i'll try large fft

yes it's quite hard to get 500.. probably with nexts bios we could get al least 494x8.5 for 24/7

I wouldn't count on it
