I'm using bios p1.20

Nope, little ******* still won't post past 275FSB, which is the maximum I could get it to before.

I'm thinking you either have pretty amazing RAM (can't adjust Vram so the RAM needs to be strong at stock volts), or a new PCB layout.

Just been messing with the board again, 320fsb and I can get into windows. It primes for 15 mins and fails. 325fsb, won't even boot.

I've settled on 311 fsb, and 105 on the pcie. (primed for 10 hours)

If it's any help, here's the settings

where you do the o/c

everything is disabled other than that boot thingy
Memory on Auto, and the voltage options at the bottom of the ram page, set to high. Cpuz says my cpu volts is 1.30

mine crapped out @ 315fsb here: http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=143153

Well, something has certainly changed as none of the ASRock boards used to be able to post over 300FSB. Well, I guess that just confirms it as the #1 mATX Core2Duo board.

I thought the 945 didn't have a PCI-lock?

It doesn't - PCIe is different though.

I have a Sugo Evo (black) and a ASrock Conroe 945DVI.

Works well with my E6600.

My 1 and only complaint is the Memory is limited to 667Mhz.

Computer hardware has a funny habit of doing that!

The reason I say is that surely if you have any form of PCI device your screwed for overclocking to ~ 300FSB? Unless you have something not very sensitive to such high FSB's. How does the onboard sound cope, would have thought that might have trouble at 319FSB or whatever.

Absolutely correct. Most PCI devices are quite tolerant (thankfully) but SATA HDD carp out at quite moderate increases in the PCI bus. When I was overclocking my ASUS P5VM-1394 board I had to use a PATA HDD over 350FSB. And no, the sound wasn't working - but that wasn't the point

As far as I know I have the only mATX motherboard hosted E6300 to do over 400FSB and I'm still waiting on the IL-95 so I can beat that.

Tisk, this wait is getting ridiculous
