I appreciate it Nos! Thanks to your advice I've been able to clock it from 3 to 3.37ghz but it's unstable. I tinkered with it for several hours earlier with no success.
It will boot into windows and things seem to run ok but superpi keeps giving me errors. I've run prime95 without any of my core temps going over 60c but I guess that doesn't matter if the system isn't stable. Note that I only ran prime05 for a few minutes. Knowing it's unstable and still running a torture test gives me pause.
I'd like to rule out memory issues by stating that my overclocks have been with memory unlinked and set to 800mhz, confirmed by cpuz. I did try linking it and synching it but neither would post right. At 1500fsb a link of 5/4 was something like 1350 and of 3/4 was in the 1100 range. (not exact numbers but I do remember they were over two hundred mhz over where my ram is supposed to be.
