Surely you can go a bit further. Just use Memtest86 to check if your memory can keep up.

I would guess you may reach at least 175-185MHz range

If you set your ram to the default "by SPD" then you can do whatever you like to your fsb and multiplier. The memory will run at ddr333 speed all the time.

well ive got 2 512 sticks of crucial 2700 not considered to be great OCing stuff and itll do 205 fsb stable at stock timings, btw the guy who said if u run ur timings by spd ur memory will operate at 333 was wrong, i bench tested mine at 333 then at 410 and it made a huge difference

At 1.8V you should be able to reach 2.3Ghz with your processor... Put your memory at 2.65V and try 184 x 12.5, then test with Memtest86 for couple rounds than AFTER go to Windows and run Prime95.

i tried what you said and it wouldnt even boot into windows. i forgot about the memtest.. but i know it didnt even get into windows heh. 200x11 seemed to work fine for a bit but i finally got the sumout error thingy in prime95 so i upped the vcore to 1.825 i think.. it runs my memory at 333 with the setting "By SPD" what do you think i should do?
