These are TCCD chips and I can't get past 255 not even at 3-4-4-10 :( I tried 2.7 and 2.75, should I perhaps lower those Volts or am I at the and of o/c capabilities of my chips?
This is on A64 3200 and MSI NEO2 mo/bo
Thank you for your time!

Rated voltage is 2.75 and I believe OCZ is will honor the warranty if you use up to 2.9v and blow them away. Since you're limited to 2.85v max I wouldn't worry about experimenting with any vdimm setting. The aggressive timing option is off is it not? Several members including myself have noticed some strange behavior in regards to vdimm settings on this board. In particular one fella was mentioning that if you set Trcd to 2 then vdimm voltage was set to 2.7v regardless of what you put it at in BIOS. I've noticed that higher voltage on this board seems to do absolutely nothing to improve the situation with any stick of ram I own and that setting it to Auto yields the most stable speeds in every case. What BIOS are you using anyway? Some of the guys over at xtremesystems claim that some of the BIOSes work better with TCCD than others.

I have a set of these on the way for my neo2 so I don't really want to hear about them not working well together. :)

Have you tried higher and lower voltages? Some find 2.5V works best and others 2.85V. There wont be any problems with the sticks as long as you stay under ~3V

This is crazy =) I'm at 270 FSB 3-4-4-10 @ 2.85 and it's running like a charm =) Can't believe it :) But I think my CPU will start to stop me now. I don't know if 1.45+8.3% is too much for the Winnie on stock cooler :/ CPU-Z says 1.6 while it should be some 1.57V...

Nice hope my results are similar when my rev2 arrevs tomorrow. :) What are your temps like...as if the mobo reports anything useful.
