Hey all i'm another oc n00b. So here's my problem. I'm trying to overclock an E2160 on a GA-P35C-DS3R. I can change the CPU host frequency up to 250/255 Mhz with a multiplier of 9X. I leave the system voltage control on auto and everything works. My computer will see the CPU as running at 2.25 Ghz. However, if I got past 250/255 Mhz to say 260, then the thing won't boot. If I put it at 275 Mhz, it will boot, but the computer will read the CPU as 1.80 Ghz (the stock speed). If I change the voltage setting from auto to manual, then I can change the CPU voltage, but whatever changes i make to the host frequency won't be read (it will always read it as 1.80 Ghz). My BIOS screen is the same as the one here:

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Also, as a side note, when running at 2.25 Ghz My idle temp is around 30 and my load temp is around 51. Is that high for this speed? What temp would be too high? I'm using an Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro 7.
Thanks
