I've got a GA-P35-DS3R, 4 GB of OCZ platinum and an e4500.
I've been running it at 3157 ghz and 3003 mhz for about a year now fully stable, but I've always had cold boot issues when running the mobo above 266 mhz FSB. I give 1.39375 V to the CPU and an extra .2 V to the ram (OCZ needs lots of voltage and im well within safety limits) and +.1 V to the MCH due to the fact that I'm using 4 dimms.
Lately what has been happening (perhaps since I went to the latest BIOS) is that the overclock is in the BIOS but what I get in Windows (vista, if it matters) is the ram timings are tightened, the ram divider I selected in the BIOS is used, the voltages are increased but there is no change to the FSB. It still runs at 200 mhz (stock for the e4500).
Any ideas on how to fix this? Reseting the CMOS then re-applying the overclock usually works but its a bit of a pain to have to keep doing it.
