You need to update the bios from the 0701 it comes with to gain the 1.85 limit. Think 0901 gives 1.85 but there are also 1101 & 1301 which are just as stable with faster post times.

nope, you only get the 1.85 with the new revision motherboard which comes with 1001 bios.

No I don't think so, there is a revision on the boards, looks like it has the GOUAY part number.

You may be lucky, only one way to find out. There is a simple pencil Vmch mod if it gets stuck.

Is that like a reset button?

How do you get from pencil mod to reset button?

Here, but be careful.

You don't know what a 2B pencil is? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pencil

Don't even think about this mod if you don't have a multimeter.

If you don't know what a multimeter is, don't even think about the mod, period.

2B means the size or the boldness of the pencil tips

It's printed on the body of the pen which says 2B, 3B ....

Get em off and whack some 40mm fans on.

You appear to be using the same mobo/fan as myself (all be it I have not put fans onto the motherboard as such) - may I ask how much you have overclocked it by? Did you have to disable that hyperpath 3 in the BIOS to get it to overclock?

Oh aye and what CPU are you using? I have the E6600. Do those motherboard fans really make a big difference to the motherboard temperature?

B stands for soft leads and H is for hard leads. There is a range the higher the number the more soft or hard the lead. in the middle you have HB.

so the range could be

very soft & dark - 6B 5B 4B 3B 2B B HB H 2H 3H 4H 5H 6H - very hard & light

Im using a E6600 and its @ 3ghz using 333fsb and ddr @ 833, hyperpath disabled, and still on stock volts. Its very stable. The fans are excellent keep my motherboard temp at 43c, before hand it was up in the 50s.

25% overclock to be precise, im happy with that.

For me the motherboard never goes above 47c max and I have no fans attached directly to it (right now it is at about 45c).

EDIT - Now I have finally done that successfully may I ask what memory timings you use? Do you have it set to auto or have you set them manually and if so to what? Currently I have my Corsair C4 stuff at 5-5-5-12. I know 4-4-4-12 fails miserably but I have not tried anything in between.

I have manually set my ram at 5-5-5-15. Im using G.Skill 2GB DDR2 NR PC2-6400.
