HTT is set anywhere from 200-230, with the HTT multiplier set at 3x instead of default 4 so that's not an issue. But the board works fine at those frequencies as long as the RAM is using a divider to keep it near 200, so it's not the PCI bus crapping out or anything nor is the HTT bus too high.
This is TCCD RAM so it shouldn't need a voltmod. Additionally, while they aren't exactly well known, Patriot has been around for 20 years so it's not like they are some ghetto company. Furthermore the RAM is RATED up to 533mhz (DDR) @ 3-4-4-8-1T @ 2.85-2.95v, so there's no reason it won't go to 460mhz (DDR, 230mhz base).

So either it HAS to be the RAM, which I'm not sure of but will try to test in a friends K8N Neo2, or, knowing my luck it will work fine and it's because my K8N Neo is a *******.
I have a CG revision Newcastle 3200+ stock that does 2.5ghz with ease. Even if I downclock the chip it still doesn't matter. Have tried different slots and one stick at a time and still same problems. Is it possible my on die memory controller is just crap and its my CPU holding me bacK?
That would suck.....thing cost me 300 bucks last fall
Anyone that comes up with a working fix gets a prize!
