I'm making progress but I'm not at home at the moment. I've had the cpu running at 3.9Ghz but prime 95 was reporting errors after 3 to 4 hours of stress tests. I'll either raise the vcore or lower the fsb and try again. I've had trouble in the beginning staying stable at even 3.6Ghz so I  searched the problem. I finally saw that my memory timings were set on auto and too low for the frequency of the memory since I adjusted the mem divider a step down but raised the fsb.
I'll post again when I find the optimal stable speed for my system.

Nice to hear, sounds like you just need to dial in the tweaks and you'll be all set!

So you eventually got the CPU multi working too now right?  Look forward to your updates once you get home and get everything stable

No I haven't been able to use the cpu multi.
I really don't know what could be causing this. I still have to try raising the voltage and lowering the multi but since I'm able to boot at 4Ghz+ I don't really think it's going to matter.

I'm back home and I finally have found a stable oc. I'm still at 3.9Ghz bit I raised the voltage a notch. I ran a blend test for 24hrs without any problems at all. Well in the end we did it, I got to oc my processor and benefit of a good increase in cpu speed. I am satisfied and all that's left is to thank you for helping out, I don't think I would have found how otherwise.

Do you still want to see if we can get the multi to work? I think we did our best and worked around it.

Thanks!

To be honest there is not much that Lsdmeasap can't get the better of. He has a lot of experience and OCing behind him.  ;)
