Loosen the timings and you should be able to get higher clocks. Try 7-7-7-20 which should hopefully give you some OCn space.

Does having loose timings like that degrade performance of the memory at all?

Awesome, I will give that a try when I get home then and see what kind of results I get! +reps!

I will do that when I get home. I tried 1:1, but on this board the FSB that you put in is quad pumped, so with a 1:1 ratio it would set my RAM to 1300MHz, and would not post at that speed. So I have been running it unlinked, with the RAM set manually to 1066MHz, which, if I remember right set my divider to 8:13.
Actually, I just realized that I had a snap in photobucket, so here it is:

Part of what had me worried about my RAM is that CPU-Z reports my RAM as being 800MHz memory, and that I had it overclocked to 1066MHz.

Well, originally I had pretty good luck with overclocking RAM on it. I had some 800MHz OCZ memory in it (4x2GB) and they held a stable OC at 960MHz, so I was hoping to get similar with 1066Mhz, and at least get to like 1150MHz stable, but no go so far.

my ram will do 1200+mhz on a p45, but on my 780 it is random,i think i have stability, but it changes. it is stupid..... i want to oc like mad,i had them at 1100MHZ 5-5-5-12 @ 1.8V now i cant even hit 1100...

Not really sure what you are getting at here. I bought the RAM because it was rated at 1066MHz, and I am having an issue with even the slightest overclock, which for an $80 set of memory seems a little bit ridiculous to me, honestly.

Yea, I have read about this too. It almost had me buying a board with an Intel chipset in it, but sadly with too much money invested in GTX 280 SLI and no Intel chipset boards giving the option of SLI, that idea kinda fell through sadly.

Strange. It seems totally random to me, because with some 1066MHz Kingston HyperX that I had in my HTPC, CPU-Z read it as 1066MHz in my board. I am starting to doubt Nvidia based chipsets on the whole.

Yea, I just can't figure out why there is not a board out there yet for LGA775 with an Intel chipset that supports SLI.
