Oh yeah, the temp was hitting 55c. Gotta be the cooling, right?

upped the voltage to 1.5v and set the multiplier to 16. Booted fine, no BSOD. Failed prime95 test, errored out after 2 mins. I think I need better cooling, bigger HSF?

Thanks, that seems like good info. But I'm asking specifically for info on the 9600 Black Edition when used with Vista x64. Just wondering if the rumors of incompatibility are true...

I've been escared to do that (up the voltage to 1.5v), since I'm new at oc'ing. But I'll give it a try since you suggest it.

I'm thinking of upgrading my Athlon 64 X2 5000+ BE. I have been looking at the Phenom 9600 Black Edition but I have read reviews that say it's not compatible with vista or that users have stability problems. I've also heard that SP1 fixes these problems. TLB bug? What say you experts of...

I'm not sure I know what you mean? My FSB is at 200, and according to cpuz the ram is running at 389.3 x2 (dual channel) with a divider of 8. Should I adjust my ram settings or something? This is my first overclock, so if you can offer some advice to make my system more stable I'd appreciate it...

I have that same board. Make sure you have the latest bios, at least FE. You can d'load that on the Gigabyte website. My 5000+ BE is running at 3.11 @ 1.4v stable with a multiplier of 15.5. You probably just need to experiment with upping the voltage, slowly. I'm using the default/auto settings...
