I don't know what it is but this motherboard refuses to overclock even a tiny bit. I had the same exact problem until I switched to a XFX 6800GS because I heard the board had some problems overclocking with different video cards. I've been able to run my e6300 2.8GHZ 24/7 afterwards.
Because of the great value of this board I recommended it to 2 of my friends and built them computers, I promised that they could hit 2.8 just like I did.
I did everything I was suppose to do, I upgraded their bios to the latest one, set everything the same as my machine, and their fsb won't even raise 10mhz without resetting. It refuses to even try to boot with a different fsb. It's like every single time I save the setting, it just turns off any tweak to the FSB!
This puts me in a horrible situation because each of these builds were over a thousand dollars, and my friends are putting the blame on me that their computers aren't as fast as mine(even though its pretty fast already).
The cards they each have are XFX 7900GT and XFX 7900GS. Is there ANY way I can get their boards to overclock. I've been thinking about just unplugging the 6800GS on my computer bringing it over to their house and overclocking with that card in, and plugging their card back in after I'm done. But I'm not sure how effective that would be.
