Well, i know it is a cheap mobo, just want to know the ability of its in overclocking. If not good, then i wont buy any high performance RAM such as OCZ or Gskill DDR500. It seems does not support PCI lock feature in bios, then anyone at here experience in highly OCing of it?

I have checked with the clockgen, and PCI is locked at 33.34Mhz. But the FSB cant go beyond to 240Mhz, i duuno why! ??? Maybe currently iam using DDR 266. Sigh, i have searched about this mobo information on OC and found out this mobo is not overclock user friendly!

Checked with CPUz , FSB:DRAM = CPU/12 . Eventhough i set it to 100, it also cant go beyond to 240Mhz, so i set it to Auto and let it run at 154Mhz

yeah, the mobo provided a lot of RAM tweaking... according to the CPUZ, 2.5-3-3-6-9-16

??? It does allow user to adjust a cpu voltage and i saw some guys managed to 280 or more of FSB...

Damn, the initial bios firmware does allow to adjust the vcore, but to the newer version, their have removed this feature! i duuno WTF has been done!

i have flashed to the v1.0 bios, 240Mhz can boot but cant log on the windows properly. The rest bios version also tried, gave-up lastly! With the latest bios version, v1.6, 230Mhz is the highest i can go. I tried my friend's kingmax DDR 400 and set the speed to DDR333 but then FSB also failed to run at 240MHz.

yeah, my mobo is gold edition. may i know where is your source of the bios file?

iam using sempron 2800. the multiplier cant go higher than 8 or lower of it! else PC wont boot. well, davidletterboyz where do you get that bios file? what to do after the bios file does not compatible with my mobo but i have flashed of it!

Can reset with button? how to? everytime i use the jumper to reset of it! Well,
that means if the bios is wrongly flashed, then mobo is totally useless! cant salvage anymore?

not a gold edition? puzzled... the word "Gold Edition" does print on the manual... anyway, thanks for the guidance and i will look further to briangan

Yes, you are rite

v1.0 available from the web, i downloaded and flashed too! but cant go higher too. currently using v1.6

why they want to edit it? then any fix for us to push HTT higher than 240?

The manual said the mobo is designed to allow OC and now they wont allow to OC anymore! WTF!! aint this is an antilogy MSI, your reputation is fu*kingly bad in my mind now! Such modifying will freakingly beneath your dignity!

Iam using clockgen v1.0.4.2 and shows PCI is locked but still cant go higher!

I have tried 2t setting for the memory but failed to go higher. maybe i can conclude that MSI has modifying the bios and cause the mobo become useless in OC field! damn

well, well.... the bios provided by the briangan and davidletterboyz works for me... iam able to climb at 260HTT, now just for stability testing... will go higher once got the ninja from the bulk... million thanks for those who help me...

i think mine is locked, as the 2 hdds and sound card are working fine, no abnormal sounds coming out, hence after 6 hours of the stability test, the Pc is still working fine!

@briangan, ,may i know your cpu temp when it is the peak loaded. mine is 51c with stock HSF , wonder after aplying AS5 and ninja then how many temp will be reduced...

refer to page 1, and find the thread replied by davidletterboyz. There is a downloadable file name called version1

@superpc, with TT beetle then what is your cpu temp reading? Since your sempron is OC'ed so high, then does it still a bit of lagging when a heavy task is loading, because i think 256kb of l2 cache is a BIG bottleneck...
