    @roon3y

    how did you get on with the overclock , Doing the same thing at the moment but with different ASUS board. P5ND-SLI 750i same CPU

    Currently only have 3.0Ghz stable. number of factors seem to make it unstable at 3.2 and above. and prob need a better heatsink than I have going higher. when I have the system a 3.2 or above it just hangs after a while. Would like to be at 3.2 or more :(, 3.0 will have to do for now.

    and way settings I have use
    Ram is 5-5-5-15 1.8V (Geil PC6400 DDR2)

    FSB 333
    Multiplier is X9

    vcore- 1.3
    DRAM-1.850
    HT - 1.3
    NB- 1.34
    SB- 1.5

    disable speedstep and C1 state.


    idle temps are about 46deg ,
