I had to switch to the Jumpers to increase the fsb on my system because if I went more than 110fsb using the softBIOS it would hang do to PCI/AGP frequency instability. fine, Jumpers it is.

I got it running at 125fsb @2.250GHz and was playing Serious Sam as a 'burn in' but it crapped out on me after about 30min, so I'm thinking I need to increase the Vcore past 1.5v. But here's my problem: I cant use the softBIOS to increase the voltage because I'm in Jumper Mode, it won't allow it. so I decided to enable the OVER_VOLT Jumper to attempt to get more voltage. But I CAN'T adjust the voltage because it's been disabled in softBIOS. The Vcore seems to have automatically set itself to 1.63v. I think this is a little high, but on the other hand maybe the mobo adjusted this accurately...dunno.
Anyway, I wish I had control over the Vcore but as of right now I don't have a choice. Any suggestions on this?

Your other problem may be heat. Since you lasted 30 minutes during the "burn-in" time. Check your cpu temps.

It's running stable since it went to 1.6v but I'll set it back to default 1.5v and retest. thanks.

also, ASUS Probe's cpu and voltage temps differ from the BIOS temps...so Probe might be giving me wrong info. :/
