I recently purchased a MSI K8N neo2 Platinum with some old trusted corsair memory and a new venice core 3000+. No matter what I did I couldn't get past 267. At any voltage,any dividers, any amount of tweaking. Even when setting all memory dividers very low I could not achieve a higher overclock. Figuring that I just got a crappy CPU I ordered some OCZ platinum rev2 so that I could at least have tight timings at the speeds I was running. I put my new memory in today and started running memtests, and upping the overclock. I hit 315 1:1 before I hit a memory test error! I could not however pass a prime at this speed. Timings were 315 cas3 4,4,8. I can pass prime and all memory tests at 305 however! This also means what I previously thought was a really crappy CPU is running over 2.8 ghz! I can't believe how picky this board is for RAM! But now running 9x300 at 3,4,3,8 stable with every test I've thrown at it, including several hours of gaming! Woot!
