Should I return my IS7 for an IC7?

Ok, so I'm getting around 270 FSB, but I thought I was supposed to get around 285! Anyhow, I think I wanna return the board and get a IC7... Think I should?

Could be your CPU or RAM. I can get well over 280 with mine with the right CPU.

270 is nothing to sneeze at. Returning it just because it won't do 285 is not the answer. Wish I could return everything I bought that didn't overclock like a banshee.

Well, my lower-than-expected OC is not the only problem... But yeah I guess you're right... I'm gonna reseat my HSF and see if that helps with the OC
