I have one 512 stick of XMS corsair cas2 memory and I have the new K7N2 mobo made by MSI... When I overclock the FSB over 168 with these 'tight' timings my computer wont boot... Does raising the voltage allow fo this to happen... Right now its on 2.6 defaults.......

alright, alright...no need to flame me with caps.
I don't think it'll hurt, considering you're using corsair memory.

It's under warranty to 2.8v though honestly you shouldn't need it at that fsb. It will be fine at 2.7v. You would have a bogus stick of corsair if it "fried" at 2.7.
