Hey all, my mainboard is MSI 945GCM5-F V2(Very low-end) Refer here. And when I overclock my spec with the mobo, if I set the FSB to 250, it sometimes can boot and sometimes cannot... Once I reverse back to 230, then everything will be fine. Just wanna to know that I can't go higher clock because of my "low-end" mainboard limitation? Thanks for answers.

Your mobo isn't suited to be overclock above average hence the inability to make appropriate alteration towards the vcore options...

Yeah, I can't set the FSB higher, it I do the pc won't boot. You've to pump some voltage if you push the FSB higher right?
