Hey All,

Before I start here is my rig spec:

Intel C2D E4300 @ 3ghz (334 x 9)
Gigabyte 965P-DS3 Rev 3.3 F12 Bios
OCZ PC6400 Platinum Rev .2 2x1gb
BFG 8800GTS OC 320mb
Hiper 580w Modular

Now my problem is it appears the fsb is hitting a limit when trying to overclock, it wont go any higher than 340fsb no matter what I try. I have lowered the multi on my cpu to make sure it wasnt that limiting me and I got the same problem. So then I thought it could be the OCZ memory which is running on a 2.0 divider so its not even running at its full speed so it cant be that. This FSB limit is stopping me from clocking my E4300 any higher than 3ghz which i am happy with but I want more.

Anyone got any ideas of what could be wrong or could it just be the case of a bad overclocking motherboard.

Thanks, Sam
 
I followed the guide and set it to + .01 and tried the max of + 0.3 when it kept failing but still no joy :confused:
 
It cant be the CPU though because even if I lower the multi to like 6x so its running really slow it still fails.

I have tried the following voltages:

FSB + 0.1
Memory + 0.3
CPU 1.45
