I have another problem. I am running the above motherboard. If I try to up the fsb to anything higher than 230 I start having my system locking up in games. I am able to get the thing to overclock at 10x235 = 2.35 ghz. What is happening is that it locks for like 20 seconds and then the game starts running again. I see it happenign alot in stronghold 2. The higher I bump the FSB, the more I get these random lockups. At 10x250 it's like every few minutes that the lockups occur and they last longer.

I have a GF4 6600 gt video card,

Performance Tips
Notice 224 : SMBIOS/DMI information may be inaccurate.
Tip 2511 : Some memory slots are free so the memory can be easily upgraded.
Warning 100 : Large memory sizes should be made of Registered/Buffered memory.
Tip 2546 : Large memory modules should be ECC/Parity.
Warning 2523 : Memory bus speed exceeds memory rated speed. Reduce memory bus speed.
Warning 2542 : Memory bus speed exceeds Chipset rated speed. Reduce FSB/memory multiplier.
Warning 2518 : Mainboard temperature is too high.
