Hello. I've been overclocking my system to decent results so far:
FSB: 315
vCore: 1.275v
vFSB: 1.3v
vMCH: 1.55v
vDIMM: 2.0v
Memory 1:1 at 4-4-4-12
My temps are ~50C idle and 60C load.
Now, my problem is when I increase the FSB to 320, my mobo completely fails to detect my HDDs. Sometimes it even starts making a loud click noise (after which I quickly revert). I tested with 1.30, 1.325, 1.35, and 1.4 vCore, all same result.
My BIOS is version F2 (though 965G not P). The changelogs listed here don't seem to address anything that might affect me, but I'm not sure. One reason I haven't updated the BIOS yet is because I don't have a floppy drive and am very hesitant to use a windows BIOS updating utility.
So, can anyone help me out in trying to figure out why this 320 FSB wall appears?
