sorry if my post sounded like a flamer, lol i never thought i was the only one to try overclocking in extreme cases and get burned for it, lol, but i would have to say it sounds like it wasnt very good mem, right now im using winbond and a infinion stikc dont ask lol im still waiting for my other samsung ram to come back, its been nearly 4 months, since the start of my Network Admin Course its been on Rma lol,if i get that i can build a independant fileserver, for hosting, ill prob be moving in a few weeks her starting a It Job in a diff city lol, but when i get setup again ill see what they charge for fiber optics with a decent 100/1000 plan hopefully its not like a 1.5 mb T1 line those are horrid, lol, well ya can always rma like i do and hoepfully they give ya everything back, its okay iv fried my Kt ultra, and my mobo, and my video card, tech said the ram was leakin or somethin, and the cpu well it looks like someone was eating ant it, cuz it was eroded, lol,

After replacing power supply, CPU, v-card, ram and bios chip I'm up & running :)

It was PS that went crazy...Antec (Best Buy) replaced it & said they would make it right with me on the CPU (we'll see ? ), the ram was still good but wouldn't work in NF2 so I took it back & got some Kingston Hyper X PC3200 :), Best Buy replaced the v-card cuz thats where I bought it & the PS :) bios chip was $3.80. Mother board was still good.

Thanks for your time :cool:

You're running a 266 fsb Athlon @ 334 fsb, and your temps are only 16°c under load.

I think you need to check your temp sensors and monitoring software.

I have the same board Shadow and I'm running a 1.4 T bird(266).When I first set it up I ran the thing at 10x at 166fsb and it booted fine and I ran it for a few minutes and got chicken and rebooted into bios and changed it back to 133fsb.Funny thing is that it booted running 10x166fsb@ 1660mhz but it will not boot at 12.5x 133fsb or 1662.5mhz. Right now it's running@ 1.53Ghz and 46C @ 1.84 Vcore.I have a 2800+ Barton which I plan on installing probably Mon.along with a Zalman 6000cu fan and heatsink.

So... what features did your ASUS board come with??

Ie. Integrated 1GB LAN, Raid SATA and ATA ??

I was looking at this board too, but AMD performance doesnt really compare to the new P4-C and Intels latest 875 chipset.

Im sure though you are happy with it and thats the main thing.
