Title pretty much says it all. Below is my template that I've been running for a while and when I first loaded it up it was stable and I haven't had any BSOD's or freezing on it. I would like to have a higher FSB or memory if possible and if not, at least a fine tune on what I am running would be nice. I'm not really looking for a much higher CPU clock since I just don't need it but a little wouldn't hurt, even a downclock wouldn't hurt either. I do love this board but all the options just create a huge headache. I have spent hours trying to improve what I have and sometimes I can get into Windows but will freeze while running OCCT, other times I'm not so lucky. If you can help me improve it I would appreciate it.

I know there's a lot of Auto but it works and if I knew everything, I wouldn't ask for help :)

I would throw some more vcore at it and lower ram divider. 450mhz was the top end of stability on my 780i board. In a couple of days I will have my 9550/UD3P and I will be able to go into more detail on this subject.
 
Not to sound ungrateful Buck Nasty but I'm not sure what that would do for me? My main goal isn't a higher CPU clock, but higher FSB or memory or if nothing else, better timings. I have POST'ed at 1120MHz for the RAM and on another occasion have POST'ed at 500MHz FSB so there's gotta be a way with voltages and whatnot, I'm just stuck and annoyed. There really isn't a time where I use 100% of all the cores (or 100% on any core for older apps) but I do notice that the load times for games and such aren't hindered by the CPU or hard drive so while the improvements may be minimal, I'm guessing a higher FSB or memory clock or better timings might help. I'm sure there will be a time not too far from now where I'll want to get close to that 4GHz mark and it would be nice to be able to just up the vcore and multiplier. Anyway, I look forward to your advice :)
 
Bump for a little expertise?
