I'm just going to bump this to keep you guys updated. I spoke with the computer tech troubleshooting my system and the finally got to start taking a look at it. The motherboard is for sure dead. So thats going to get replaced for sure.
They didn't have a board that supported all my other hardware so they had to order one to test the rest of my components. That is supposed to be in tommorow so i'll know if I need anything else.
Basically I want to get at least a 1Ghz overclock. I'll be happy with 3.4-3.7Ghz.
Quick question about my current ram in my sig. Will it work alright with all the boards you guys have mentioned? I know if its fried its got a lifetime warranty so i'll send it back. I think pretty much all of my stuff is warrantied so its no biggy I just wasn't very happy with my board.
Also one other question with knowing the board is bad whats the likely hood it fried other components like my GPU,Ram,Soundcard,Modem etc?

Anyway, the only motherboard that provides independent FSB and memory overclocking the RD600 which only DFI provides. However, the 680i comes close to independent by using weird dividers such as 9:16. No other chipset will provide unlinked overclocking.
Thats actually not true. My p5n32 can. If I want to overclock the ram without increasing or decreasing the FSB I can. And if I want to increase the FSB without changing the ram I can.
