Most of recent boards accept USB keyboards on BIOS even before you install OS on HDD. Thats why most motherboards now dont even have ps2 ports anymore.

This thead is now 143 posts long and I went back to the beginning and read the first three pages and 'ssjwizard' has told you everything already about what to do to overclock the cpu and even the ram by using the FSB which will raise the ram speed and the other three busses as well. So all you have to do is use what you have already been told in earlier posts and overclock that new mobo. Yes, 'ssjwizard' is around but he is not posting nearly as much as he used to do. Many have gotten very busy after the first of the year.

Right, and I've tried that but my bus speed goes crazy... its super high for some reasdon when i used his settings... although in my BIOS when changing the NB voltage i dont know whether to change the "NB Core" or "NB Voltage" because they both have to do with voltage... I will attatch a picture of mky BIOS options in just a bit so you can see what I'm talking about... I dont want to enable the wrong option and fry something. Stress testing right now with my new water cooling system... post pics in a bit

NB Core refers to he CPUNB, a major element in the on die memory controller, I would think and the other NB has to do with the PCI-e control on the motherboard. Some years ago both AMD and Intel put the PCI-e controller and the memory controller in one chip on the motherboard called the North Bridge. Now they have split those functions between the motherboard and the CPU. That's why the confusion and some bioses can make those choices very difficult because they don't have a user friendly lay out.

Here is a picture of the BIOS. Which setting would it be in order to change the NB voltage like ssjwizard suggested? Also, when I changed my bus speed to 220 and the north bridge to 2200, as well as the HT to 2200 as suggested, but then when I ran CPU-Z and prime95, my HT was showing as 2600 and the core kept failing no matter how much power I put to it. So I reverted back to my stable 4.3 ghz and will await a reply from someone more knowledgeable, thanks so much

I just followed his directions to a T, including clocking all the way down to 17x, and lowering the RAM... and raising BUS speed, HT Link, and NB, also raising the voltages for all three as well... Tried running a Prime95 test at only 3.7ghz and immediately got a blue screen. I must be doing something wrong... Will post screen of my current settings in just a minute

Simply do those two things and perform a stress test?

I will give it a go in the morning. I know I can't do 4.6ghz on the voltage I have now. Can't even do 4.5 with it. Will lower the ram and see tomorrow.

Just triedlowering the RAM to 1334 vs the 1600 it was on, and ran a test at 4.5ghz at the same voltage I'm at njow, and same thing happened... core failed myabe 1 minutes into the test. I've tried pushing further than 4.4 but it takes almost 1.48-1.53v just to make the 4.5ghz stable, and thats not worth it to me to add that much extra power for only an increase of 100mhz.... I'd rather run at 4.4ghz at a lower voltage. Would really like to get those settings ssjwizard recommended working to I can raise the HT an BUS speeds, overclock RAM to 1766 (or whatever it is) and have CPU at 20x (which will equal 4.4ghz)

You are not overclocking the ram at 1600 nor running the timings tight, therefore your ram is probably not the cause of the failed core, most of the time a failed worker is lack of Cpu V core. If anything you should be able to run those Gskills at a higher frequency. If you really want to see if 4.6 is possible you should go back and re read the suggestions about using the FSB to overclock it now. These FX chips seem to hit a wall with overclocking via multiplier alone, at some point. You may have reached that point. Take the time to re read this thread and maybe you'll be able to overclock it higher and or get a "cleaner" overclock.

that's exactly what I've been trying to do. I've gone back to page 3 and input all of SSJ Wizards settings into my bios, but it's not stable and it causes the cores to fail almost immediately, as soon as I up the bus and HT speeds. That's why I'm looking for suggestions on what I could try to do or maybe to get a different starting point because I understand the directions he gave me, but it's just not stable enough at those settings to run a prime 95 test.
