Yep same here, the second instance of prime95(affinity to core 1) fails first. I was actually able to boot into Windows @ 2.5 Ghz with a small vcore increase but prime95 failed after a couple of minutes. So I'm happy with a stable 2.4 ghz @ 46c load and will stick with this I suppose.
I ran into the same problem when installing the EVGA 7800GTX so I had to modify the IDE cable a bit. I just pryed off the top plastic clip and it fit perfectly.
The highest temps I've seen @ 2.4 Ghz after several hours of prime95 (2 instances, 100% CPU Usage) is 46C. I'd like to push it higher but anything over 2.4 is completely unstable. I'm fairly new when it comes to overclocking though, so I know there is something I'm not doing. Maybe memory timing...
XP-90C w/ 92mm panaflo and AS5.
Temp sits around 32C. 45C under load.
Voltage is 1.45
Memory is currently at 2,3,3,7 2t using the DDR333(166mhz) divider.
I'm running stable at 2.4 Ghz but I haven't been able to go any higher. At 2.5 with a bump in voltage I was able to get Windows to load but it crashed shortly after. Normally it restarts at the loading screen.

Anyone using this board with an X2 3800+ and overclocking? I can't seem to get over 2.4 Ghz. I've found quite a few threads on this subject, just not many using this board. I've done the following:
Flashed to the latest bios.
2 gigs of OCZ value @ 2-3-3-7.
HT @ 3
FSB: 240
