I guess it just needed to burn in a little better. When I first got the board I couldn't get it stable at any more than 192 fsb.

Now, about a week later, just on a whim I lowered the multiplier and tried to up the fsb to 195. Worked like a charm.

Pushing my luck like any good overclocker, I raised it to 200, and again the desktop popped up faster than I deserve.

After a night of prime95 I might push my luck even further. I love this $69 refurb!!!

BTW, sorry to change the topic, but what does the "aggressive cpu interface" change? Does it change other settings that can't be changed in the BIOS. I know when I chose that with two different oc settings less aggressive than what I have now, that I can't boot Windows. It won't explain in the manual and haven't found an explanation of it anywhere else.
