Some mods are worth it and some aren't. It solely depends on the individual and if it's for extra cache, I rather skip it. In fact if I get a choice previously, I would've gotten E7xxx (3MB cache) as opposed to the E8xxx (6MB cache). Saves me quite a bit of money and all I want is FSB/clock speed overclocking

set the jumper to CLR_CMOS (or something like that) while your board on standby (power still on), while jumper still at CLR_CMOS state, discharge them (the board) with power on (just like you switching on PC)

well most e2xxx user here rich...    
but not me...haiz...now gotta slumber in garage sale for e6xxx...
anyway i dun reali found good oc review for e7xxx wo...most also v lousy de...
but if reali 4ghz at 450...i also think its a good deal

budget for next cpu = rm400

You can easily top up a bit more (RM500+) to get a used E8200 They work well and able to hit 4Ghz

Bios 16 shouldnt have dual boot unless you change bios settings. Then yes, there will be dual boot as the NB adjusts the strap timings(or smth like that). I'm using bios 15 and i dont face double boot in normal operation

To be honest, the amount of Vcore needed is relatively high for 4Ghz and I used to have an IP35-PRO which I think it has some weird problems at high FSB too. First of all, did you try running 7 x 500 to see if it works? If your board doesn't do 7 x 500, it means 500FSB is not possible.

if you use 333*9 =2997ghz also same vcore ah bro..try this n see with 1.38 vcore in bios or lesser...

your temp is without ac? fan speed change to 100% 

Want to ask:

FSB 430 x7 , ram x2

or

FSB 310 x10 , ram x3

which is better?

can boot.. but superPI cannot finish. @.@

in physic V=IR
V stand for voltage
I stand for current
R stand for resistor

thus we assume R constant, V increase, I increase too

But if i'm not wrong, processor is a semi conductor built right?
So, the higher the temperature, the lower the resistance, R

so when using a PC, heat up,  R decrease V need to increase to supply proper current to it.. @@ am i right?
