Just put together all my new stuff, DS3R, Geil 2gb, ACF7. Overclocking then begun after windows install. Now, when I set the multiplier in the bios to 7 it changes it to 6 in windows and when i change it to 6 it's 7 in windows :S Weird.

Not only does it stop there but on CPU-Z when I set 400x6 in cpu-z it says 2.4GHz, in all other programs and my computer it says 2.8GHz. Like wise when I tried with 400x7 in cpu-z it says 2.4GHz and all other programs including my computer it said 2.4GHz.

Now which is correct? Should I run SuperPI and test that way to see which is correct? Here's a screenshot, also run Orthos for 15 mins, max temp I saw was 62.

Have a look at the guide here

Try this.

Clocking
1. Make sure that you have the latest chipset drivers and flash the board to the most recent bios version
2. On the main bios screen press Ctrl+F1 to open the advanced options within the menus
3. In the Advanced Bios Features Menu, Disable all of the following: CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E), CPU Thermal Monitor 2(TM2), CPU EIST Function
4. In the PC Health Status menu, set the FAN Speed Control Method to "Legacy" & FAN Speed Control Mode to "PWM" to maintain highest speed
5. Go into the MB Intelligent Tweaker (MIT) menu at the bottom of the page, set the System voltage control to "Manual"
6. These boards have a default VDIMM of 1.8v, set the VDIMM to co-ordinate with your ram. The Geil I have is specced as 2.1v so I have mine set to +0.3v
7. Set the MCH Voltage to +0.1v
8. Set the FSB Voltage to +0.1v
9. Set the VCORE to 1.45v - Please be aware that this will increase temps!
10. Set the CPU Host Clock Control to "Enable"
11. Set the System Memory Multiplier to "2x"
12. You're set to go, just increase the System bus Frequency to Overclock
13. I would reccommend that you use Intels TAT to monitor temps
 
Can't seem to flash the bios, do I need to do it via Floppy?

But all seems good now, I did what it said there and set multiple to 7 again and it's working nicely. Slight temp increase but mostly good.
