I have used the auto overclocking to 4.4 Ghz and it works fine. I ran prime 95 for 5 hours without issues temps were ok, but then after powering off the system and it sits off all night it will not boot again the next day. It is the exact same problem the reviewer for this board had over at Anandtech.
I'm struggling to overclock on manual mode also. I usually just start with bumping up the multiplier until it will not boot. Doing it this way I can barely achieve 4.0. I've read tons on the SB-E chips overclocking, most don't even have to change defaults until 4.4 or 4.6. Running the memory with XMP 1.3 at rated speed of 2133 (stock)
Not sure if this is because I have the new stepping of the 3930k or not or if the BIOS isn't mature yet?
New to overclocking on Sandy Bridge - coming from a I7-920 which was fairly easy to OC. Some of the voltage settings are new to me and some are called different things than other board manufacturers use.
All I want is to hit 4.4 or 4.6 on this chip with the power management features enabled. I use it mostly for gaming so stability is more important than just passing a few benchies.
