I currently using the pc as the spec at my signature, 1 weird problem is i can OC my cpu till 2.5Ghz without pumping up any voltage, but once i hit over 2.5 Ghz to 2.6Ghz, i can log on to windows without adding voltages but it freezes when running prime, after i pump up the voltages to 1.425, it stills same , freezes during prime stress test, could anyone give me some hint???

Make sure RAM and HTT are still within permissible limits as well. These are factor most of us sometimes ignore. Pumping the vcore should do as of now. I will avoid exceeding 1.65v on a decent aircooled setup.

Can you post the Idle/Load temperature?

What is your HTT multiplier? It is commonly called LDT as well. It ranges from 1x to 5x. You might need to lower it down to 4 if your HTT hits 250 or more.

yeah..use proc multi at 9 lor..9 x 239 = 2.151 Ghz and 8 x 239 = only 1.9 Ghz

I'm guessing that's the main thing limiting your speeds now
Cause your rams probably cant go much above 250mhz, so put some lower dividers on them so that they'll run lower and wont limit your proc
CnQ doesnt have to be disabled when OCing But you should disable it so that u dont have any problems

Recently tested a frined of mine MSI K8N SLI-FI, the basic system consists of AMD64 x 2(4200+) + KVR 1GB/CORSAIR VS 1GB (tested both).
Overclocking wise this board is a dissapointment, while the AMD64 x 2 is capable of some serious performance but was letdown by the poor performance. The maximum HTT was not consistent, the highest being 240HTT which was really unstable and the lowest but competely stable was recorded at only 225HTT.
After some googling, there is no fix for this somewhat lacklustre performance via flashing the BIOS. Anyway I did flashed the BIOS but only having to noticed no improvement whatsoever. The BIOS is just to fix bug over some USB issues.
So I recommend you guys to stay away from this board at all cost, there is just no Nforce 4 SLI chipset that is cheap but provides the enthusiast with much needed performance. It was a letdown, MSI have certainly gone backwards with this value edition of its SLI chipset. Should have done better considering the K8N Diamond is a wonderful clocker.
