Dont jump from the stock clock staight up to where u were at 1900 FSB. do it in stages making sure u are stable at each. Id say try go to 2.6ghz, then 2.8ghz, 2.9 thn 3.0. Make sure u turn off all the spread spectrums, turn of C1E, speedstepping and anything else that can adjust the CPU speed. Going slow is best, I left the voltages on auto, and then from what it used i kept lowering it manually till it bluw screen thn went back up 1 notch.
I got same motherboard and Cpu than you I overclocked it to 3.4 witht he stock fan with no prob at 45C while playing game, Great Cpup for overclocking
