Change the mobo, Ive got one, they are poop.

Not user friendly at all, bios is pants and hard to understand and some types of memory become unstable with even a 1 mhz overclock. Mine for example.

Stuck my RAM in a friends DFI mobo and had it stable at 1001mhz within an hour, can't even get 801mhz out of mine and I've tried all sorts of bios revisions etc.

It will be poo-canned as soon as I can be bothered to change it.

Other than that, it will fly..
