Could anyone tell me which MB is best for P4 Prescott OC'ing and why?

Now I have P4E 3,2Ghz on EPoX 4PCA3+ rev.2 with 1Gb dual ram Patriot PC4200 and is watercooled with Innovatek stuff... But I can't get higher than 3,9Ghz... on 4Ghz it try's to boot windows but restarts...

I tried other PSU - now it's Antec TruePower 550W EPS12V - the same...

So where could be the problem if it is possible to solve it, or give me the clue for new better/best board :)

Thank you :)

I have the asus p4c800-e and I booted up to 4.2 with no problems. I hear that my Mobo core voltage doesnt runs stable at 1.6 volts, but on the other hand i was only using 1.5 volts so I'm thinking if you want to go past 1.5 or 1.6 vots you kneed another board.
Try running memtest86 to see if your memmory is running without any errors. Try playing around with bios settings, enabling and disable all the acceleration modes.
For example when I had the turbo mode on my assus didnt let me boot up any higher than 3.4 I cant think of anything else.
Good Luck

I'd look around at some comparison and see how your motherboard ranks compared to others. It should be similar. What RAM voltage are you running? What vCore?
