Right now I am running my RAM link and synced at 850 with stock timings and 1.8v. I can pass 20 passes of intelburntest on standard but once I bump it to maximum RAM usage it fails pretty quick. I've done 2 passes of memtest and no errors and I've also run burntest with everything stock (including cpu) and it did a couple passes fine leading me to believe the RAM is not bad, though you guys would know.

So my question is, is there something I am not doing to get the RAM stable? I've tried 1.9v and the recommended 2.1v and still nothing.

Here's my BIOS settings for my overclock.

1.35v fsb
1.4v (underload) vcore
1.8v memory
1.5v SPP
1.2v NF200
 
I bumped my FSB from 1.35 to 1.4 and it seems stable now but I haven't done too much testing.
