When i up the fsb 10mhz it wont boot im puzzled why, ive overclocked a amd64 4000 to 2.85ghz but i cant get this one to move a inch.

Any settings im not turning off or on?

thanks

ps core temp is 52c during full load. Yah it hot but its a SFF case.

Probably because your motherboard sucks!! No offense but its really not made for OCing.

Maybe you should do research before flaming no offense ;)

Find me a good oc'in SFF - MicroATX board newb.

*** I gotta Lian Li Micro ATX SFF case that is like the best board out there for SFF's***

who cares. any mobo can do 10mhz oc. what are your settings at right now?

I spend last two days resetting the bios like crazy and figured out it was the ram... Yeah i was like WTF.

My ram is rated at DDR900 so i thought setting it at DRR800 would give me enough room but im dumb thats only 50mhz to play with on FSB.

I got it set to DDR533 now and cruisin at 2.2ghz and still tweakin i think it will do maybe 2.5ghz before my liquid cooling cant keep it under 65c
