I just hope there are some OC'ing improvements with the F5 bios. I really think my cpu has more juice in the tank! I want to go to 3.5 ghz! :D Lets just call it speed greed!

well all i can say is my e4300 i think is maxed out @3100 vcore 1.468 in bios but in windows cpuz/speedfan says 1.42 i updated my bios from f4 to f5 beta from gigabyte and my winrar score went up from 1320 to 1490 (nice:) )with no other changes to the bios setting....i havent tested if i can overclock it any higher yet but i dont think i will be able cuz it seems that e4300 hit a wall at 355-360 range

I also encountered that 360MHz FSB wall with the Abit IB9. Switched to the Abit IP35-E and no problem with 3.46GHz @ 1.465Vcore. That said, don't know if your GB board has a FSB hole when combined with your E4300. Drop your multiplier to 8x and see if you can boot @ 405MHz FSB. If okay, then you may have a CPU/MB FSB hole issue. Also check CPU stepping via CPUz. L2 stepping is good. Worst I've seen is around 3.2GHz stable with 1.5Vcore.
