Cool Please help! ;)

Hi guys, I bought this board (ddr2 version) the other day along with a E7300, and this w/e I am doing some initial oc'ing on it . So far I am not pushing the FSB or RAM hard at all and just want to see what I can get out of the E7300. From playing around with it yesterday I have got it seemingly stable at 3.8Ghz (only done 2 hours of orthos, didn't fail, I just stopped it). I ran it overnight at 3.9 and it failed after 35 mins, doh. I should have tested the 3.8 overnight...

Anyhow my target for the CPU is 4Ghz, not for any reason other than I just want 4 Ghz if I can get it ;P Then when I have reached my target, or as close as I can get, I will work on the FSB and RAM to try and squeeze what I can out of them! I have put my system specs and BIOS settings below, if one of you more experienced people could take a look through and let me know if there are any improvements I can make to get to 4Ghz it would be greatly appreciated Thanks for reading, and thanks for the amazing living review Supershanks

sorry mate can't help you, don't use Vista & haven't ever used a mike on the board.
Might be worth contacting gigabyte support Gigabyte Technical Service

Thanks Supershanks, I tried playing around with those settings but 4ghz fails after a few mins in Orthos in pretty much any combination. I'm sure I could get it to 4ghz with a load more volts but I'm not up for that heh It ran for 12 hours last night stable at 3.8 so I'm gonna stick with that. +1.2ghz is still really nice

Again thanks for your time.

All the same 3.8 is a pretty good achievement for a E 7300 .
