Asus has this synthesized voice "System Failed due to OC'ing"
when i first got this thing, it OC'ed GREAT (well, if you call 11.1% great) for about a year.
specs -
Asus P5GD
Intel 560, 3.6 P4
Patriot DDR2-533 low latency, 3-2-2-8
Maxtor 300 GB SATA
Asus X850XT
for about a year, it was rock solid stable with an 11.1% OC.
it was Anandtech's original article that got me pysched about it

their best result was 227 FSB, no big deal, i know, "Big Whoop".

i admit 11.1% isn't much of an OC.
but now the thing won't OC at all ! or, rather, i'm getting frequent enough error messages that i just went back to stock speeds.
has anybody ever had this happen, where a system runs OC'ed fine for a year, then at some point starts to fail OC & has to return to stock speeds ?
