I got the the combo plug, put the stub of the broken data tab in the connector, connected it all up, verified it works then super glued the plug to the drive. Seems strong, works great!

I broke mine also and am out of warranty also, I think I will try a combo power and data plug like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16812226020 I broke the tab part and the metal contacts are still there, it still works if I slide it on but makes me nervous just hanging...

Lacquer thinner works good too, I have used it since we were OC Intel celeron 300's, an old toothbrush to get around the edges of the CPU followed by an old lint free T-shirt, it evaporates very fast too, use it outside. Also used in automotive to clean "to be" gasketed surfaces, removes all...

I won't be able to get to this for a few days....it is actually at a friends house and we're both busy this weekend with all the graduation and weddings going on. I will get back to you on how much we were able to OC as soon as I can. I especially like the idea of running 20% lower and...

I just received a reply from gigabyte tech support, their solution was to reset CMOS, I didn't expect it to work, but it did. I can now change the vcore! I did understand the greyed out "Normal CPU Vcore" and the vdroop issues, but cpuz was not registering any change at all in voltage even...

Thanks or the replies. Sorry for the confusion. I used the BIOS to OC, I only used the easy tune to verify the cpu Vcore, because cpuz was reporting 1.29 v. Vcore is the voltage I am trying to increase. I have read the guide by graysky, is that the one your suggesting I read? I have also OC...

I just got this MB, I am using a e2200, can only get 355 fsb with 8X, I think to go higher I need to up the voltage a little - there is a setting for for CPU voltage control but it seems to do nothing acccording the easy tune 5 and cpu-z. it has the F4 bios, which I believe is the latest - is...

OK 70c sounds good. I was thinking 60c was what I should shoot for. Before this I was used to OC older AMD's where 40c from the off chip thermistor (add about 20c to get on chip temp) was my target. Runinng Orthos LM is probably the most that system will ever be stressed. I'll just leave...

SerpentRoyal - u r fast at replies. Ok on the higher temps...when is it dangerous would you say?

I ordered the Abit and CPU and Crucial as an Mwave combo deal on Sep 21st. Yes ur right I'm sure I could run higher with better cooling. However this is the wife's machine, she could care less how much I got it to OC! For her it just has to be runnin and I get nothing extra for a high FSB...

I was getting 66 - 67c (stressed) with the AC pro 7 and as5 at the higher clock and volt, I followed the directions on the AS to apply the thin strip right down the middle, did I apply right or there a better way?

While not a record - I am happy! Finals: E2180 Q712A452 @ 3.33GHz 9x370 1.4V Abit IP35 v13 bios AC Freezer 7 pro AS5 Crucial Ballistix (2 x 1 GB) 1:1.20 DDR2 900 MHz 5-5-5-15 2.10v Posted on the overclocking E2xx0 and E4xx0 thread. May have to invest in better CPU cooler - 65c...

Wow SerpentRoyal!!! on my way now - I'll follow your steps in op. Looks like the 9 multi was the magic. I'm at 3555 (395 X 9). I'm doing the stability tests now. Thanks for the help!!

Reset CMOS. Change USB mouse and keyboard support from OS to BIOS. Use 2.1Vdimm with 5-5-5-15-2T timing and 1:1 memory divider. Change Vcore to 1.465 and FSB to 255MHz. Hit F10 to save BIOS. Boot into windows and confirm that RAM speed = FSB speed. Reboot and run memtest86 test#5 for 50 loops...
