Hi,
I know that no two rigs are exactly the same, even with the same specs, but: I built this system exactly as spec'd (even bought from New Egg), and I can not overclock it at all. If I make any changes to the clock speed, at all, it won't take. After a delayed boot, and going back into MIT, I get the message that the system experienced boot failure.... and it defaults back to a low ratio/speed.
This is BIOS F5. I don't think I saw the BIOS version of your build. I've read some reports of BIOS upgrade problems with this board, so I thought I'd ask before for suggestions before I upgraded. Admittedly, I have not OC'd in a long time, and this BIOS setup/MIT is pretty foreign to me. thanks!
