Overclocking M2N32-SLI Deluxe, Cannot get over 240mhz fsb
Hi Guys

I'm trying to up my FSB but cant seem to get over 240mhz.

I've started off with defaulting the factory settings and performed the following changes:

CPU Multiplier -> 6x
PCI EX16_1 -> 100mhz
Memory Clock -> DDR 533
Cool N Quiet -> Disabled
Dropped HTLINK Multiplier to ensure HTlink speeds are under 1000mhz
Dropped BIOS Firmware to 1101 and back to 1201

Yet with the above settings anything over 240mhz and I get a BIOS CHECKSUM ERROR.

What am I doing wrong?

System Info:

Asus M2N32SLI-Deluxe Rev A2 Bios 1201 (latest)
Patriot Extreme Low Latency 2x1gb
Amd Athlon 64 4200+ AM2
Corsair CMPSU-620HX 620W ATX
BFG GeForce 8800GTX OC2 626MHZ 768MB

I have this same Mother Board. I've had no problems pushing over 250 on my X2 3800. And everytime I get the error it's because of a memory problem. What speed is the Patriot memory rated at? Also what are the timings? What voltage on the Vcore and DDR voltage?

Resolved, it seems my board wasn't getting enough voltage.

Thanks for the reply!
