Was just joking about the C2D actually. Just to show my frustration.
The 2.2v jumper doesn't works for me. It writes 2.4v, and when I place it to the 2.2v location, it won't boot. At least, not on my rams. Don't have other rams to try it out on.

Will try the 703 bios and see what I can get. Tried the latest but didn't helped much.

I supposed that load temp is near to the TCaseMax temp which means that's the max safe temp for daily use. Upgrade a better cooling so that it can lower the load temp.

Other than test the mobo with other bios, u can increase the nf4 chipset voltage and see whether there's and improvement with the extra voltage added.

MObo : Abit KN8 Ultra V1.1
PRocessor : AMD Athlon 64 3000+ .. Venice ..
Ram : kingston DDR400 PC 3200 512 mb X 2 ..
GC : Colorful 256 mb DDR3 7600 GT ..
HDD : WD 160 gb SATA2 ..

just thinking whether can oc or not ..
i guess the mobo not that good lor ..
and i dun have a cooling system also ..
if i wan OC , i think i should get ram cooler and better heatsink right ?

any suggestions ?? sory for being noobish ..
i just started and read alot of thread bout this ..
still new and tryin my best to OC .. !!

This motherboard I heard is very good is OC plus, ur Athlon is venice... haha... thats a OC'er CPU core

really good at OC-ing ..?
ur specs and mine about the same ..
except for ur motherboard .. lol ..
u planning to OC too ?
but one of my buddy say the motherboard capacitor no good wor ..
anytime can leak one .. sigh ..
anyway , can i use a higher DDR besides DDR400 ??
if can i plan to sell of my ram and get a faster one ..
and do i need to get better heatsink and ram cooler ?

higher DDR? Do u mean the high performance RAM?
ya, it is not good for the mobo capacitor, but as long as u have a very good air flow inside ur casing, this shouldn't be a problem to u...

anyone wit this motherboard OC before ?
please help !!!!!

of cz u can oc..do some research and u shd knw some tips...dun expect spoon fed

ya .. i know .. but here's the question ..

1. Do i need to have a good heatsink and ram cooler before i start OC ?
2. Do i need to change my ram to DDR533 hynix before i start OC ??
3. should i change my motherboard to something better ?

thats all for now . =) !

1. not necessary. it depends on u, if u feel the temp is high after u OC it, u can change.
2. no need.
3. ur mobo can OC actually, y u wan to change?

means i can start OC now ar ??
but won't the temperature inside be hot ??

1. If u think u wanna bump lots of vcore, so u better change ur hsf
2. If u just wanna do some mild OCing, just stay with ur current ram
3. U can OC using kn8 ultra, but for better overclocking, use DFI is

yes of course..u can start OC right now
and for the temp, make sure it will not exceed 55 C

can u tell me which DFI motherboard is better in OC ?
that supports socket 939 of course ..
and if i wanna get a better ram , what should i get ?

DFI is overclockers boards...depends on ur budget wic suits u...u got plenty of cash to burn get the LanParty series

haha ..
alright .. how bout the ram ?? my mobo only supports 400 right ..
but why i see some people can use DDR 533 or something like that ?

one question for you... do you know that there is ddr and ddr2?

of course .. but then .. if i wan to upgrade my ram to better and
oc'able .. which one should i go for ?

That board is good, just less memory tweaking options and the vmem wont go above 2.9v so remember about that.

Capasitors wont leak in 1 week bro. So dont be afraid. A good cooling is a must if u plan to overlock. A good psu also helps u in overclocking.

1. More voltage = more heat.
2. You use dividers to overclock the processor. Not necessary to get higher performance rams.
3. Im using this board too. Been running 2.8ghz 24/7 for quite some time already. The only drawback is less memory tweaking options. But anyway im running my TCCD at 290mhz and that is reasonably good.

mine..=o..at stock vcore
