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
