Has anyone ever heard of or overclocked on this motherboard? Wherever I look they say it's a piece of garbage. I overclocked my Core 2 quad Q9550 from 2.83 to 3.14GHz (by changing host clock frequency not multiplier) but I seem to hit a wall there and can't go any higher even with voltage tweaks. Any ideas?

That's already an older motherboard. Seems it requires high quality RAM to pass POST when attempting to OC.
