Have the above board and it is a honey.
Slight problem when I OC my Athalon 2100+ downgrade 2600 T'bred B core to 2166MHz. Normaly would run 1733MHZ with fsb 133. The only thing I do is jack the fsb up to 166 and get 2166MHz same as a 2700 would normally run.
With fsb at 166, occasionaly when I boot it gets to the desktop with the hour glass beside the pointer and hangs there. I can move the pointer but clicking icons does nothing. I reboot and it works fine. At 166 occasionally when I'm surfing, typing a letter or doing whatever I get the "blue scream-screen" saying the system is busy and punching any key to continue does not work so I have to reboot.
This indicates to me some minor degree of unstability when running at 166 because as long as I run fsb 133 it works like a dream for hours on end, boots first time every time and rarely do I see the blue scream. I know fsb 133 causes the CPU to run at normal speed of 1733MHz. (Running ME for my own reasons.)
I doubt the CPU is getting to hot because I use a good cooler with Arctic Silver II compound with case fan(s) and rarely see the CPU temp over 40C.

(Picture shows one tab clip but it now comes with the three tab clip.)
Senior citizen here relatively new to OC'ing and wondering if there is anything I need to set in the BIOS other than just selecting the 166 fsb. I see settings for voltages and other things I know absolutely nothing about. Thought maybe when I go with 166 I should kick the voltage, or whatever, up a notch, but I don't know what to kick or why.
Computers always fascinated me since way back 'younder when I bought my first Tandy 1000SX at Radio Shack, a real screamer with TWO 3.5 floppy drives. We bad, we bad! (I told you I'm a senior . . .) Little over a year ago I built my first one and got a real kick out of it and had a ball.
