Mind to list your setting over here and we can check it out for you?
Thanks I've listed my settings below.

define correct...
u cant even get 3.2ghz
anyway i already told ure fsb and nb voltages are wrong.. up to u..
QUOTE(Radeon)
hint hint
Actually what would be more helpful if you could tell me what was wrong about the fsb and nb voltages instead of giving me just a hint since I'm here solely because I'm frustrated with my overclock, not because I want to guess what you mean...I know you guys trying to help but aiyo I'm so frustrated here and now have to guess some more.
I say they are correct because I have tried a large range of voltage options and none of them work. This seems to be the case regardless of whether I set it to AUTO or not. Please review my settings below and tell me where I went wrong.
These are the voltages I tried.
CPU vcore: Auto won't work, Manual 1.35 V all the way up to 1.45 V in 0.0125 V increments
PLEASE NOTE THAT I HAVE TRIED THIS WITH BOTH PENCIL MOD AND WITHOUT.
CPU-Z and Everest reports BEFORE pencil mod that I need to set it at high 1.4s to get it even working stably at the reported voltage of 1.385 V.
After the pencil mod, the voltages reported were the same as set in the BIOS and I could reach 3.0ghz for some strange reason.
FSB Termination Voltage: Tried all the options there is. I left it at Auto it won't work as well
Northbridge: Tried Auto all the way from 1.20V - 1.55V
FSB speed:
333 works reliably now. I upped it to 355 which is 3.2 ghz but it won't work. I only tried incremental increases a short while but as you implied 3.2 ghz should be easily achievable. I also used multiplier 8 at 400 FSB
Multiplier: I used multiplier 9 and also multiplier 8 at 400 FSB
RAM voltages: Auto, 1.8 all the way up to 2.2 (seeing that i was operating at only 667 mhz i didn't see why i should up the voltage any higher unless i was going to the 1066 range)
RAM timings: 5-5-5-18 (although RAM rated up to 5-5-5-15 at 1066mhz at 2.2-2.3V) I relaxed the timings just to be doubly sure.
Yes I've also done all the required in disabling Thermal Management and all that stuff.
DO LET ME KNOW WHAT OTHER SETTINGS I HAVE LEFT OUT! I can't remember the BIOS screen perfectly 
The article below expresses the same problems I have with this board. It seems the more I deviate from 'AUTO' the worse results I get. The thing is that it SOMETIMES works which is really bollocks to me...Priming would work at 3.2 ghz for about 15 minutes then fail.

So, the mainboard was working fine when the FSB Termination Voltage or North Bridge Voltage weren’t increased at all, and then it would refuse to boot when we raised them to 1.4-1.55V. The board would pass the tests and then would fail them; it would either reboot alright or freeze on restart. Sometimes, when we changed the BIOS settings just a little bit, such as increased the voltage slightly, the board wouldn’t start, but after we shut it down and powered it up again – it would work perfectly fine with the adjusted settings.

and p35 loss on crossfire with 4x is around 20 percent..
not 5
Yup you are correct on this. Not sure where was the other article that I looked up before I got my crossfire setup. now regretting it and considering whether to get a new mobo but sooo tired la keep on changing hardware.
Would appreciate advice on my
current hardware now. However I am open to suggestions on what other crossfire mobo I can get. Budget around RM700 at max...
I also have a spare gaygaybyte p35c-DS3r but that mobo does not have crossfire and is still subject to voltage droops and what not.
