I just cant seem to get past 393 fsb with my rampage formula with a celeron e1200. I upped the cpu voltage to 1.55 and still nothing, cant even post. I had everything else on default tried upping the nb to 1.3 and no luck at all. Is this a problem with my board? because I can get 400+ fsb on my p5k deluxe.
thanks in advance for any suggestions

you up even more on the NB 1.3 is relative small for overclock.

but may i ask why would you have such cheap CPU in a expensive rig?the image just dont fit together.are you waiting for some thing to drop in price?

i got the processor for free through a lottery so i was just toying with it i tried upping voltage to 1.6 but still nothing. Maybe i should try upping the nb? i can get 3.4ghz with my q9550, nb on default voltage.

If you increase the NB voltage you really should think about getting some cooling on it. I have a Rampage Formula and I mounted a 40mm fan on the NB because @ idle it was 65-70c, after doing that it is ~45c @ load.

This is the fan I used, it's very low profile, doesn't make much noise and moves a lot of air for it's size.

i tried upping the nb to 1.4 but no luck, maybe this celeron just isnt very compatible with this board?
And I cant install anything on the mobo heatsinks because I have two 120mm fans on my true in a push pull configuration.

I have a TRUE as well and I mounted the fan on the side of the heatsink blowing across it.

yeah i wouldnt care if it died but if it blew up itll probably damage other components in my system so no i dont want it to blow up. weird that i cant get past 400 fsb with it installed though.
