Now pending my memtest results (to rule faulty RAM out), flashing my BIOS yet again, and a little more tweaking, I'm going to conclude that the particular board I got is a poor overclocker, or the P5N-D is in general a poor overclocker. Either that or I just got a crappy CPU.
I'm considering getting a new mobo, just because I've had no luck at all with overclocking while using this board. BUT do you think its more likely that my particular CPU itself is a poor when it comes to overclocking? I'm kind of at a loss here, I don't know which of my parts is causing the bottlenecking. (hopefully I'll rule the RAM out)
Any suggestions. Do you guys think its more likely to be my motherboard or CPU?
