I just put together a new system with the specs in my signature and I am having a very odd problem with OC'ing even though I updated the Mobo to the latest bios.
I set the RAM to 533MHZ and the FSB to 266 and my RAM is running at 712MhZ, anything beyond this FSB I'd either not see my SATA drives or the unit will just refuse to post.
According to CPU-Z and bios my CPU is running at 2.4GHZ and RAM at 712GHZ with a 3:4 ratio, I tried so many settings in the DRAM control in bios but anything other than 533 and auto timings the system will not even post at anything above 233MHZ FSB.
My goal was to hit 333 FSB after reading some reviews about the board easily reaching this but it seems there is either something I am doing horribly wrong or I will not get anywhere close to this unless I get some PC1066 RAM which seems odd to me since none of the reviews I read used that kind of RAM.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Forgot to add my CPU is running at around 28C idle and 35C under load so I'm almost certain it isnt the CPU limiting my OC.
