just got one of these second hand for my system, is there anything i should know about it? ie is there any little pointers to overclocking one of these as the manual is pretty limited in what each option does. but from the look of it there are lots of settings that can be tweaked, unlike my biostar.
 
due to the lack of replies to the original question, and not wanting to make another thread on the same topic, can some explain a little bit about what these settings are and what are 'safe' max settings. thanks.

i was running the q8300 on my biostar mobo at 3.2GHz without any problems, but that mobo only had limited options so was only fsb and vcore increases.
 
no i have 2 sets of the 2x1gb ddr 1066.

think i got up to 425fsb on the biostar stable, which i was happy with, but like i said there was only 2 changes to be made, up the fsb and vcore, this board seems a lot more indepth so any help would be appreciated.

tried it at 350 and OCCT was successful, trying 380fsb, will do it in small stages rather than jumping in.

is it better to have a low multiplier and high fsb, high multiplier low fsb, or leave multiplier alone?
 
i can get it to boot at 425fsb, have tried adjusting the ram speed too but still nothing, most i can get to is 380fsb stable, nowhere near the 427fsb the biostar was allowing.
 
was using all 4 as i didnt really want to take it apart again unless i had to. i do have 2x2gb ddr800 kingston ram, would i be better using them?
