Specs:
P4 2.4C
MSI Neo FIS2R 875p
Zalman 7000cu HSF

Well finally hit 3.2Ghz with my P4C, turns out my bios version 1.4 was the prob, i went down to 1.32 beta drivers and it fixed it, however the CPU temp was revised in 1.4 so now my CPU temp reads 10-12C higher then it should be....inaccurate readings with the 1.32 bios

I was actually able to hit 3.3Ghz but every now and then I would crash, need to mess with it a tad more.

FSB: 267
vCore: 1.60
vDimm: 2.75

EDIT: Just check WCPUID and CPU-Z, turns out in WinXP my FSB changes to 271 making my speed 3.25g even though in BIOS it is specified at 267...Odd

congratulations! maybe with some more juice to the cpu you can go faster! keep us posted. GL!:)
 
to solve your innacurate temp reading, since yuo know the difference, just set up a temp offset in mbm5. congrats on your oc man
 
my p4 2.4c runs 3,5ghz at deafult voltage and boots even at 3,86ghz /fsb320/. i'm using the new 1007.10 bios but the board handles the memory very starnge. if i fix it to 320 the stickd run at 426mhz..
 
hmmm...I run rock solid running Prime95 or HotCPU at 3.3Ghz, but when playing a game, i crash out of the game with a memory error after maybe 10-15mins...

the only thing i dislike about the board is the fact that i cant set a mem ratio really... I can select a DRAM Frequency of either 266, 333, 400, Auto, 500, 532...

my dram freq. is set to 266 when running 3.3Ghz, i knocked my comp down to 3.0ghz while i do some testing to figure out the prob.
 
How can anything be a "bad" overclock? Any overclock is a good thing. You are getting more from your computer than you paid for. Rechon we are all getting spoiled.
