K8N neo2 first time ocing this bad boy

I have had my computer setup for about three months now and I am ready to start ocing it finally after messing around with my watercooling and everything else.
My stats are in my sig and this is what I have done so far.
I have my sATA drives in a raid0 array on sata ports 3+4 (locked)
I have my agp frequency set to 67 to lock it ( I have read this at several other different places)
I lowered my htt multi to 4x. My vcore is at default 1.5 I am using 1.4 bios
I upped the fsb in 5mhz increments
I posted so far at
205
210
215
220 currently running at 11x multi for 2420 mhz, HTT frequency 880mhz
I have not messed with anything else so far. I posted and I am running fine right now while I type this with prime95 torture test running.
I am new to ocing a64's after making the transition from an old 2500+xp chip. I have a lot of data on my raid array that I do not want to lose by corrupting my windows installation. I did this when I was ocing my 2500+ and I lost a ton of data.
I was thinking of just letting prime95 torture run for 10-12 hours and then raising the fsb another 5mhz.
I have heard that this board does not like ocz eb but I have never had a single problem with it.
Where should I go from here to be on the safe side without corrupting my windows install to find my highest overclock?
I also noticed that when I turn on my computer my cpu temp sticks at 43c and won't move unless I restart the computer and then I get a temp reading of 37c idle and at load I hit about 44c. I have a tdx installed on my cpu and I doubt that the temps are even reading right. I am using mbm5; does anyone know just how off the temps are for this board?
Thanks a bunch

I have had this machine running about one week now... and in my sig is the results...
I think this 2600mhz HTx4 is not too bad with these cheap mems... apacer running at 216mhz with 2,5-3-3-6 settings
I have stock cooling in cpu, and temps are about 40 on idle and watercooling is still waiting for an isnpiration... and then i am going to try overclock this winchester

K8N Neo2: How to boot after bad overclock settings?

Does anyone know - is holding the <insert> key down whilst booting supposed to work on the K8N Neo2? i.e. reset the clock speed back to safe settings?
I have a new 4800+ processor that I have been trying and it doesn't like high memory bus speeds. I keep trying an overclock setting (in the BIOS) and then finding it won't post. Then I have to clear the cmos and re-enter all of the bios settings from scratch again. Its becoming a right pain in the backside, to be honest.
I thought you were supposed to be able to just hold the insert key down on power up and it should boot with safe settings?
Or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

The insert thing only worked for me a few times. If I recall correctly, you need to power down everything, including the PSU itself. Then, hold the insert key, power up the PSU and then hit the power button on the case...The only thing is, and I don't know if it is BIOS version related or what, it will sometimes power on when you hit the switch on the back of the PSU.
If you are messing with it that much, then I suggest using some Windows apps to OC. Get the BIOS set up with some decent OC'd settings, stable ones. Then use apps like Core Center(voltages), A64 Tweaker(memory) and Clock gen(clock speed) to work things out in Windows. Once you have some good settings going in Windows, restart and set it up in the BIOS. This way, if you set something wrong in Windows and the PC hangs or restarts on its own, it will restart with the good BIOS settings that you know will work...Then you make note of what not to do, lol, and continue on...I hope that helps a little...Good Luck.

TS1702 I got an ipad from work. I have to pay for my own apps. When I type in my apple id, it tells me that since its my first time on this device, I have to verify by answering other questions. We can't remember the answers. Now what?

When I go to get apps on my new ipad, I get a message that tells me I must confirm my apple id because it is the first time I"m using it. It give me questions like what is the first concert I went to. My partner and I have had this account so long, neither of us can rememer the answers. So, I can't buy apps. What should I do now?

I have win7 64 bit, and when I tried installing the new update, it failed. I tried reinstalling and still no joy. I have attempted this several times. This is first time experiencing this. Is there a fix in the works?

I have Win7 64 bit and when I tried to install the latest I-Tunes update it failed and told me to reinstall. I attempted the reinstall and got the same result. I have attempted this several times already even after following the recommendations from Apple website to correct this problem. I have installed numerous updates for I-Tunes and this is the first one to fail. Is there a fix in the works from Apple for this? I believe the update is flawed and should be re-evaluated by Apple and this update re-issued with different version #.

When starting Macbook up, startup sound plays 3 times--Is this bad?

The last two times I have started up my machine, the startup sound plays 3 times--the first two times it seems to cut itself off and the third time it plays completely. They are about a 2-3 seconds apart.
I don't know what's causing this or if it's an indication of a problem. It seems to complete startup just fine...
I have four external hard drives connected via a USB hub (one of them is a Time Machine drive)...that's the only thing I can think of...but I've had them connected many times before with no such repetition of startup sound. Also, the computer will have usually been plugged in for a while.
Any thoughts? Thank you.

Hello j:
If you are referring to the chime when you start up a system, more than once is not normal. The chime indicates that the system has successfully performed its self-tests.
If you are referring to something else, please be more specific.

HT1430 I set-up my new i-pad when I received it Saturday, following the 'on pad' directions. Having switched it on for the first time since this evening, I am now asked for a 'passcode'. I now can not proceed. What can I do?

This was no help. I'm still being asked for a Passcode!

Will it not open without a passcode?

K8N Neo2 Plat Boot Issues. Bad Flash?

Well i just got my board in the other night and i had everything up and running and wasn't too satisfied with the OC on the memory scores i was getting so i flash to bios 1.55 from one of the sites linked from here. Everything went fine on the flash with no apparent errors but now when i try to boot it gives me the normal boot beep then right after a tiny faint beep and it locks up at the Platinum screen where you can hit DEL or TAB to post. I flashed from a win98 virtual ram drive to avoid the issues of a bad floppy. There were no errors on flash at all and it rebooted itself at the end. I've tried to reset the CMOS many times and still nothing. I've tried changing out mem, psu, vid cards, and other parts just to see if i can get past the screen but it won't budge. Anyone heard of any simular problems and if so how can i fix it short of rma?

Unfortunately i've tried the bad flash for my bios and nothing happens at all. The Floppy never even starts and neither does the light on it to read from the floppy. I left it running for atleast 15 mins once and nada. Wish there was an easy way to fix it heh. Guess i've learned my lesson to triple check before flashing. Any other ideas?

TS2446 iTunes will not let me sign in with my ID, it asks me to use another ID but I ONLY have one? This is the first time that this has happened and as far as I am aware there are no problems with my account.

Why has my iTunes suddenly been blocked, every time that I try to sign in it asks me to use another ID?

Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466, and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

How in gods name does one navigate around in the latest itunes - (if the first version was this bad apple would have gone broke years ago)

I have downloaded the latest version of itunes (foolish me) and it is almost impossible to navigate around - are there any instructions to this rubbish - or even better, can I go back to an older version that makes sense?
I do not even know what version it is because I can't find that either.

Try this: Ctrl+B, Ctrl+S and Ctrl+/
iTunes 11 should look a lot more like iTunes 10
Hope that helps

HT1657 Movie keeps freezing and not playing. Every two or three minutes? First time with this probel, why is it happening?

Have rented a movie. Trying to watch through iTunes and it keeps freezing! have watched many this way without this issue at all. Whay is it happening now?

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

I'm trying to download music, and it is the first time on this computer, i can't remeber my answers for the questions, what do I do?

So, iTunes is trying to get me to answer two questions 'what was my childhood nickname' and 'what is my favorite sports team' and i can't remember them, what do i do? help please!

Click here for information. If the option to have the answers emailed to you isn't available or doesn't work(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in the 'Additional Information' section of that article.
