RAM timings are 2.5-3-3-7 .. Its this ram here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820220037

its 4 sticks of 512 all of the same stuff above in dual channel

Another thing is, now that I've set everything back to default for now, on CPU Z my voltage is showing me at ~ 2.5 vcore.. eh that's not good eh?

I'll try setting it to 2T. I set it to default which is 1.4 according to the BIOS

I just tried setting my multi to 3 and found the max FSB to 280.

I had set my multi to 5 to test my FSB, it was ~1300mhz. I ran a few tests and whatnot for 20 minutes or so and no errors.. but I don't imagine I would downclocked that far.

Alright I did what was said and have the 2T setting and a divider at 166 and bumped the vcore to 1.45 I believe and still not even getting a post.

well I finally got a clock of 2406 (~ +200) with a multi of 11, FSB 218, HT at 4, and memory divider 166 with timings of 2-3-3-7. I tried timings of 3-4-4-8 to see if that would let me get a higher overclock, but it didn't. My vcore is at 1.5.
Also changing dram voltage or HT-link voltage didn't help any either. Any one know if I'm missing anything or any other advice?

Update.. I now have a clock of 2652 Mhz, with a multi of 11 and FSB of 240, my HT had to be set down to 3 to even get it to post, then I had to up the voltage to 1.65 vcore and +.2 on the ddr with a divider at 166. I have my timings at 3-4-4-11 but I can't run prime95 for more than a few seconds without gettin an error. I'm wondering if I'll have to get real loose on my timings, and what kind of effect that'll have on overall performance?

I only load up to 32*c btw

Hmm .. I was under the impression taht by setting a divider, I could bypass my RAM's inability to OC well and up the CPU a bit more. Still cannot get stable at any OC above 2.3 or so.. any one else?
