On my Asus m5a78l-m usb3 mobo. It's 4.2ghz but manual describes that if overclocking occurs, the mobo won support 1866hz ram sticks and that is exactly what I've got.
The process asked of my DAW installation asks for you to put power onto high performance. Is this overclocking. As I have been putting it on high performance and then running into problems. This could be one. But could one of you fine people please let me know if I'm correct.
