I've had this mobo for nearly a month now and have had nothing but trouble.

I originally had my E2160 running at 3g on my P35C-DS3R, stable for nearly a year, but when I put it in this mobo, together with 2 x 1G PC6400 Ballistix (old set which was stable at 1k with the E2160 or the new set) I get continual problems, even with the latest bios.

I then put in an E6750 and am still experiencing grief.

I am trying to get a stable 3.2G on that chip, which should be fairly straightforward job from what I've read, but I've tried all manner of settings, Auto to 1.45v, Auto to 1.4 NB and Auto to 2.1v ram with Auto timings to underclocking, but if I do actually boot at 3.2, it always reverts to stock after restart.

I've also had different settings recorded with Easytune, 1.280v and 36 deg idle, to 1.380 and 56 deg idle, but these temps are about 10deg higher with Coretemp.

Is this board a bad overclocker or is it faulty?
