ok, so my buddy and I have run into a wall with his e2200 on a Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P.. so far we have only messed with the FSB and voltages on the cpu and dropped the memory to 1:1 timing to remove it as the variable..

its prime stable at 3.2ghz @ 1.34v 290x11 but for the life of me i cant get it stable at 300x11 3.4ghz went from 1.36 to 1.45v it was able to boot into windows at 1.38v and was able to run prime95 after 1.41v but from there to 1.45v where we finally gave up either the system crashed or vista BSOD'ed.. its on an artic cooler 7 pro in an antec 900 case with the 200mm fan blowing straight on it set at high.. it never exceeded 60C while running prime95.. so i know heat isnt an issue..

so i was wondering if anyone ran into similar walls with either the e2200 or another processor on this board.. and if they had to mess with any other voltages on the board to get their system stable..
 
I got my e2180 to 3.2ghz stable so what you're getting sounds about right.
 
ive seen a few overclocks at 3.4ghz or higher on the e2200.. figure since hes replacing the cpu in a couple months anyways.. why not try to get everything out of it..
