Excuse me? It is the best motherboard for overclocking (ie, it has reached 525FSB stable, where the DS3 has barely broken 500FSB). :)

It's just been my experience from reading that the regular P5B doesn't clock as well as the DLX. There are exceptions to every rule though right? :)

Oh yeah, update your bios man, you've done that right?

So, in other words, it won't boot up? You are going to have to reset the BIOS.

Take it off (noting which prongs it was on), and then boot the computer (it won't go into windows), and let it sit for a minute. Then, turn off the computer and put the jumper on again, and boot up :).

My P5B has a feature that will let you reset your settings without having to do all the mess with the jumpers and/or battery.

Turn off your machine and unplug it, let it set for a while, then reboot. It should tell you "Overclocking Failed" and it will let you enter bios.
