If I adjust the CPU base to 333Mhz, then the system stops working.
Here is my CPU-Z information (currently set to a CPU 327Mhz):
E8400 Core 2 Duo CPU @ 3GHz
CoreSpeed 2.997 MHz
Multiplier : 9
BusSpeed 327 MHz
Rated FSB 1308 MHz
Memory : Kingston 800MHz DDR2 :
408.8Mhz
FSB : DRAM 4:5
CAS#Latency (CL) =5.0
RAS# to CAS# delay = 6
RAS# Precharge = 6
CycleTime = 15
CommandRate = 2T
I read that people overclock this Asus-Commando and E8400. But I can barely get it to the 3GHz (ratio 9 * 333 = 2.997GHz.). It is unstable at 333base, somewhat usable at 328. Rock solid at 266.
1) Things I tried:
Set CPU base to 400.
Dram Freq to 1:1 gives 800Mhz (=1
400
2) It let me select 800).
I used a multiplier of only 6 so the Core would be 6*400 = 2.4GHz.
That also wouldn't boot.
2) So I tried to make it easier. Maybe I'm doing something wrong when I tried this:
I set the CPU base to 240, so I could use the DRAM freq of 800 (at 240, AMI bios let me select 800).
But it wouldn't even boot.
Should this boot?
I'm a newb, but I've been reading a lot and I think it should work. Please show me the error in my ways!
Thanks!

What is your vCore voltage? It might be the main reason you're not reaching the 3Ghz speed. The E8400 vCore voltage range is between 0.85V and 1.3625V. For more details, see: https://www.overclock.net/forum/8-i...to...4-7-a.html
