It probably likes more vcore. Set the vcore to 1.75(or more) and try out 200x11. If its stable, try 200x11.5. Then 200x12. You get the picture.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa...?? You're at 1.6 on a mobile and it wont go higher? I thought some people have OCed their's to 11*200=2200 MHz with stock voltage and lower, bad chip or what. I would like to hear a response of some sort to this issue, very odd it is...

What memory do you have? And are you running it Sync or Async with FSB?

The mem is sync...i think it might be the problem because i just lowered the multi to 12 and raised the FSB to 190 and it failed prime before you can say corshair xmx platinum

Don't be afraid to increase your voltage little by little. You've got a great HSF there to control your cpu temp.

This is post number 17 of this thread and he still hasn't told us what RAM he's using. You can't go higher with average PC2700 if that's what you got. Put the RAM brand in your sig.

make sure you turn power off or unplug from the wall when you clear cmos. If that doesn't work you can remove the battery. Still nothing try holding down insert as you boot up. If none of these options works you might have borked the bios. Not much you can do in that case unless you get a new bios chip from abit or can borrow a friends to hot swap with.
