very old chipset. Let me recall what i can remember off

a) tricky to OC. U have to know what your doing
b) there are certain FSB 'blocks' that would not boot, however, if u straight away jump to the higher FSB 'block', it would POST and PASS orthos no problem.
c) there are cold boot issues, sometimes it will POST @ OC settings, sometimes it wont. u hav2 restart several times
d) you have manipulate Chipset voltage. Believe it or not, this is very tricky. It relates back to the FSB 'blocks'. The NV MCH is very very hot. you have to employ good cooling even @ default fsb.
e) in short, it's a lousy overclocker chipset. The NV6xx improved on the OC alot, but aso plague wit the above problems.

i would say, save your time, this chipset is OC limited.

if i rmbr correctly, it's more of the OC scalability issues of the N590 itself. Still rmbr how irritating , spending 2wks to fine tune / OC my ex FP IN9
