Welcome to Windows 7 Forums. Our forum is dedicated to helping you find support and solutions for any problems regarding your Windows 7 PC be it Dell, HP, Acer, Asus or a custom build. We also provide an extensive Windows 7 tutorial section that covers a wide range of tips and tricks.
By this *Try setting your Cpu/nb to 2400Mhz* you mean CPU Northbright Frequency below the multiplier? Because I once set that to 2600mhz and I had to manually reset cmos with the two pins
Yup that's the one chap. You don't have to it's just Bulldozer likes the HT Link frequency and Cpu/Northbridge frequency to be the same. just make sure to increase the Cpu/Northbridge voltage to about 1.200- 1.225. It shouldn't need to be any higher.
Ok will do so now, if I am not back right away, it means something went kaplooey and I will get on Ipad as I reset my rig lol. Ok I hope to be right back.

Ok I am back, nothing blew up. Here are the result pics. What should I change next I want to to attempt a 5gh oc? Also my cpu-z report a lower cpu voltage now, before it was always 1.4+. now its in the 1.3 category Here are the pics. Also I lowered the cpu voltage to [+.125] although I think I will go back and change it to [+.150] now that the experiment worked.

I think the best bet maybe to start a new thread chap as we've gone off topic slightly and then pm me think link if you like.
I take it you haven't run any stress test? Make sure it's stable and if so just raise the cpu multiplier untill unstable and then the the vcore untill stable again.
Ok I am back, changed the cpu voltage to [+.150] and cpu-z still reports around 1.35v on idle, and I ran some quick aida64 benchmarks for cpu and ram and results were much much higher than normal. Not so cranky now.

I'm posting (not for leaderboard right now) my Ivy B i5 "K" at 4,7GHz and it does looks stable at the moment...but i want to validate at 4,8GHz, so waiting further experiments.
See you soon!
Second screenshot i'm booting fine within the O.S at 4,8GHz..... This mid-range motherboard begins to impress me!

I though Oc'ing through EVO you needed to group them and tune together correct me if I am wrong I think that is how I did mine
Hi!
I'm not OC'ing with TurboV Evo that's why i didn't group all cores. Of course i could have done that too!
That's pure bios settings at the moment.
But anyway hitting the 95°celsius is the limit i want to reach...so this might be one of my last OC'ing with that motherboard, unless i try TurboV Evo to make it at 4,8GHz more round!!!

you limit it to 95c gees I am playing it major safe then I never let mine get above 85c I get a panic attack when I see it turn yellow on Core temp running IBT lol lol lol
