That look OK.
BTW while bandwidth may not increase dramatically, latency should drop noticeably compared to 333MHz FSB.

Good to hear all is well.
I don't know if it heats much with the stock cooler but check the northbridge. If it heats much an intake side fan or even not intake can help lowering it's temperature.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I have this board and am trying to avoid an upgrade until Haswell prices come down.

If the OP is able, can you post all the bios settings for your stable overclock? The post above was missing the voltage overclock values.

thank you.

Sorry, the overclock died about 6 months ago and the PC has been replaced (ran that OC for 3+ years), I don't have any of the old settings. The machine is still alive somehow but it will only boot at stock.

@bhaz
Do you have your overclocked settings saved using one of the saved profiles in the bios?
If yes, you should be able to load the saved overclock profile and write down the settings.
After you've copied the settings you will probably need load optimized bios defaults.

Note: Check that your motherboard battery is not dead, it should register 3.0 volts or slightly higher.

If you follow the following instructions to clear your CMOS you might be able boot again with overclocked settings:
