however whenever i change the FSB (even setting it to manual) it doesn't reboot.

Try setting the AGP voltage to High, as someone found further up the thread. Allowed me to run at 266FSB (with Q6600). But even 1MHz over 266, and it won't boot. Doesn't switch off properly either!

I flash my bios to 1.8a using winflash (AFUWIN v4.22)
I select program all blocks
No when system botted writes that:
MAC ADRESS ARE INVALID IN BOTH CMOS AND FLASH!
PRESS F1 TO RESUME
I flash several bios (under dos, official bios, another win flash , ?)
But problem don?t solved
I clear cmos and remove battery
But problem don?t solved
Please help me

Hi everybody, first post here on Anandtech
I'm waiting for my e2200 and a 4CoreDual-Sata2 board. I'm aiming to reach a 266FSB no more no less.
with DDR400 and a 6800GT AGP Card.
What do you suggest, the 266 BSEL Mod or to overclock directly from the 200 of stock FSB to 266 ?
If I'm not wrong, with the BSEL Mod I wil have the right AGP and PCI Bus-Speed and the Memory divider will be already set for the ram (by choosing DDR400 it will set the divider to 3/4 right? if the FSB is 266)
What happend if I overclock from 200 to 266 ?
AGP e PCI Bus are going to be out of spec or they will be adjusted like with the BSEL MOD?
the ram divider in use will be the one of 200FSB (1:1 for DDR400) or after 240MHz it automatically switch to 3:4 for DDR400 ? (some were in this post some one wrote this 240 gate point)
in the end, there is any difference between a BSEL Mod at 266 or an Overclocket 200->266 CPU. in AGP/PCI/PCI-e/RAM Divider etccc ?
tx in advance for any answer!

Nope. Mine has had those options all along, through 1.50, 1.60, 1.70 and now 1.80 BIOS.

Asrock Tech emailed me "MACtool" software to rewrite MAC-address on a 4CoreDual . You can download it from here,
http://members.optushome.com.au/zyclops1/mactool.zip
Then easy to do:-
STEP1: Find your particular mobo's MAC-address (will look similar but NOT same as, 000B6A76723E) on rear parallel port panel and write it down.
STEP2: Unzip MACtool software to a DOS bootable Floppy diskette.
STEP3: Boot into pure DOS environment, ie nothing loaded but DOS.
SETP4 At MACtool folder on floppy disc, and using the "mac-address" previously noted at STEP 1, Enter ?MAC c mac-address". A success message should be displayed after updating the mobo's MAC address.
STEP5: Reboot computer.

I have the defroster ink, but I would prefer to leave the CPU as it is if I can.
Isn't it easier to try different Bios setting until I reach a stable 266OC instead of physically modifing the CPU ?
Actually Iìm a little scared of the BSEL MOD, can I go back if it will not work? how do you clean it from the CPU?

what is your method for CPU core volt mode (1.42v)
do you connect cpu pins to each other
which pin you connected
The default volt for e4500 is 1.2875 or 1.325?
I use the instruction for 1.2875v default to increasing vcore to 1.51V

I purchased the board the 1st of November from Newegg, so the R2 wasnt out yet and I do have the good audio codec the alc888.
Yep, this is exactly what my bios shows :
CPU Host Frequency [Manual]
Actual Frequency (MHz) [280]
PCIE Clock [100 MHz]
AGP/PCI Clock [66/33 MHz]
Spread Spectrum [Disabled]
Boot Failure Guard [Enabled]
Ratio Acutal Value 10
Max CPUID Value Limit [Disabled]
No-Execute Memory Protection [Disabled]
WDR above also shows the same pcie options. I think it has to do with never having bios version 1.10 on my board. Will test that theory later.

OK, I got around to flashing the bios to 1.10. No change, it still only gives me the options of "Auto", "Sync with CPU", "100MHz", so my theory didnt pan out.
I then flashed to 1.80a, and still no change. So I dont know why the PCIE options are different on the same revision boards.
