I have a ECS BLACK SERIES GF8200A motherboard, I would say it's a budget MB. I just got a new AMD Phenom X3 8750 Black Edition Toliman 2.4GHz. It seems like I can only get it to 2.5GHz before I can't get into Windows. I want to go higher and after reading some reviews of my MB on Newegg I know people have been somewhat successful OCing their CPUs (atleast more than me). From reading OC guides they say I should increase my multiplier until Windows won't load then increase my CPU voltage until it can then rinse and repeat. But my CPU voltage is already set at its highest. My conclusion is that my MB is pretty limited. Any thoughts?
