I'm trying to OC my system using the 3 Step Guide. I'm currently running on a 160 bclk x 21 with hardly any other tweaks applied. My cooler is a D14. Prime95 at full blast gives me 67C high.

I can't find the Memory Multiplier so I'm reluctant to do much more. As this is the first time I've attempted OC I welcome all comments on tweaking this particular bios.

System:
P6X58D-E, i7-920, 6GB RAM, HAF 932, 150GB Velociraptor boot, WD Blue 320G, WD Green 500GB, WD Black 1TB x2, PNY GTS 250, Noctua NH-D14, Corsair TX750 PSU

Since this is my first post I'm not sure if I'm in the right subforum so feel free to move this thread.

Thanks,
Burt

Asus doesn't offer a separate DRAM multiplier option, but instead the BIOS automatically configures the effective DRAM frequencies that correspond w/ the current BCLK. So in your case using a 160 BCLK, the available DRAM Frequency options for you to choose from are DDR3-960MHz (2:6), DDR3-1280MHz (2:8), DDR3-1600MHz (2:10), etc.

If I increase the bclk doesn't that increase the mem freq? Does that pose a problem?
 
What kind of problem would it pose? When you up the BCLK, yes... the DRAM frequencies that correspond to each multiplier increase also. For example assuming you have DDR3-1600, and the BCLK set to 160 w/ a DRAM frequency of DDR3-1600. You then upped the BCLK to 180, but wanted to keep the resulting frequency lower than 800MHz, you would select one of the lower available frequencies of DDR3-1440 (2:8) or DDR3-1080 (2:6).
