It's a gigglebyte GA-K8N Pro-SLI I picked up in Japan at the start of the year after my GF dragged me to Hong Kong, Shanghai & Nagoya

It's stable ... (I've only need to install WinXP once this year

) but overclocking .. just doesn't seem to work ...

I can get the FSB up to 202.5/405MHz ... but anything above that and the system refuses to boot

Anything above 205/410Mhz and the system refuses to post

Even after I've set the ram to CL3 and relaxed all the timings so that the RAMS running slower than the postal system to no avail.
Same with the HTT multiplier .. from the default 5, back to 4.5 or even 4 ..
I've upped the voltage to the HTT bus, RAM & CPU .. and still no difference.
And the CPU doesn't seem to get any hotter than 47degC .. ever, even when slightly overclocked & under FAH load (on both cores) for more than an hour.
Arctic Silver 5 with this (err ... the SI-120) on top.

Absolutely no idea wtf is going on ....
Maybe time to check for a new bios .... nope, already running the latest ... maybe I should downgrade
