Default Rampage formula setting cpu voltage...help!!!

Hey there...
just wondering if anybody could help me !? I just traded my p5k-e wifi board for a Rampage formula, and I just can't manage to set my cpu voltage manually when I set my fsb higher than 350 Mhz...even when I set it at 1.5 volts it just won't even post. I mean, when I leave it on auto, everything's going fine, but I get temps a little too high ( like 68 degrees under load ). I find all the settings in bios a little confusing. I ain't no expert, but it's not my first oc, and I managed to have a 3.6 ghz stable for 8 hours under prime 95 with my "old" p5k-e. Any ideas of what is going on would be greatly appreciated.

I'd be looking at your enhanced memory settings. Try setting the mem at a lower speed and see if that makes a difference.
