when i get home later on today i will try to get to 3.6Gigs and go from there. i dont want to push it too much. Even though i havent changed the latency timings im liking the overclocking ability of this 3.2C. it looks promising!!!!! i will let you guys know when i get home today. wish me luck

i already had this Mobo but i burnt the CPU socket with a bent PIN so i had to RMA back to Abit. i knew it was going to take a long time before i got it back so i bought the SOYO Dragon because my cuz said it was a great overclocking MOBO and i never got to overclock it. Just errors all the time so the Max 3 finally arrived and after about a week or so i put it back in. Last night as a matter of fact!!!! Im at 3.5GHz. i am very happy at this point with the CPU and the MOBO

... but start at a lower FSB (= "Ext. Clock (CPU/AGP/PCI)" ).
(the example on that page is for lower speed northwods)

yeah i got it stable at 3725.3 Mhz last night. it has been on all night and runs great. idle temps are a little high though. 33C-48C i need a fan controller to boost up my Tornado. its at 4800RPM right now. i wanna get it to at least 6000RPM. just too lazy to put the potentiometer to the Tornado.
Make sure your memory timmings are compleatly relaxed (3-4-4-8). That will help you clock higher. What is your Vcore at? Don't be affraid to take it higher as your temps are actually quite good for air. Once you can't get any air shift gears and go to 5:4 divider. Your ram will be the thing that is holding you back at 1:1. You'll prolly have to switch to 5:4 at arounnd 3.7.
