I am wondering if you took the time to read what I wrote 10 minutes ago: Unfortunately, it is people like you that bring most confusion to forum discussions, as you feel confident replying on basis of what you saw by scrolling trough in couple of seconds. Than, someone like you will just...

I tried overclocking using the OC Tuner and I get BSOD after around 240 FSB, which is the same wall I reach as manually clocking trough bios. After 240, I cant get into Windows. "OC Tuner" offers nothing else except being able to change and test those values from BIOS, but without restarting...

Can we drop the "legacy" argument please? I already stated the year of production is 2012, and even newegg has the board "in stock" at this moment. Nope, vcore stays the same even at 3Ghz (240 FSB) and even setting all other voltage options available to maximum won't make it boot into windows...

DDR3 is "legacy platform" these days? Get real. This is a DDR3 motherboard with 2012 as "Year of production" on the import sticker. Heck, even the "Quick installation guide" has "Published June 2010" written in it, so it can't be "2009 or earlier". That's besides the point. Point is that...

The picture of BIOS menu I posted is NOT my own(I do not have camera to take a picture of my own BIOS settings) I have my FSB is set to MANUAL and is currently at 240 MHz. Manual or Auto makes no difference, because there there is NO vcore to be found anywhere. Easier said than done. This is...

I have sent an e-mail directly to ASROCK, but I have low expectations 'cause my Engrish is not up to par :biggrin:

This is not the point. I never expected to reach that 143% OC. However, on packaging, a E5200 is mentioned to be OC'd to 143% (3575MHz). Even an overclocking amateur will understand that this implies BASIS of overclocking: vcore. I feel cheated. It is blatantly obvious that different ASROCK...

I am running latest bios version and the picture of BIOS menu I posted is from manual. I don't have my camera around to take picture of my screen. This is NOT a bug. Like I said, the OC Tuner .ini file of my motherboard is missing CPU Voltage paragraph, which is easily found in .ini files of...

Asrock OC Tuner does not have vcore setting either And just to make sure, I looked into OC Tuner folder and compared iG41CVS.ini file (configuration file for my motherboard) to another motherboard .ini file and in my .ini the CPU voltage paragraph is missing completely.

Short version: ASROCK is falsely advertising their motherboard's overclocking capabilities by claiming that they managed to make a 2.5GHz E5200 Intel CPU reach 3.57GHz. But when you enter the bios or run OC Tuner on this motherboard, there is not even an option to adjust CPU voltage: OC...
