overclock?

ASRock ConRoeXFire-eSATA2 LGA 775 Intel 945P ATX Intel Motherboard
ASRock ConRoeXFire-eSATA2 LGA 775 Intel 945P ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Great features for the price!

Cons: See other thoughts. And yes I know the 300 fsb is the max on this board.

Overall Review: Only problem I'm having is in the over clocking area. Every time I go into the bios and set the cpu to manual ( so that I can up the fsb ) exit and save and then restart; My rig starts up 3 times with a few sec pause between each one. After the third attempt it will boot but none of the bios changes take affect. Dosent matter if I dont even raise the frequency. Just changing it to manual does it. Any ideas from those who have raised their fsb to 300

update on overclock? 10/16 "Beware"

Pros: Same as before

Cons: OK then. With the help of CPU-Z I discovered that my board is REV:A2 and it is showing not the advertised I945p chipset but the i945G/GZ. I couldn't believe my eyes.I have a call into AsRock for an explanation. So beware and forewarned. Is AsRock trying to cut corners? Bait and switch?

Overall Review: I hope this makes it through the newegg censors. I wish I could post my CPU_Z copy here. Have it posted at OCW (Asrock intel boards)forums
