For some reason, any time I tried to raise the FSB, even to 210 mhz, with this ram, I noticed that in CPU-Z, my memory frequency would be cut in half. Now, I am not going to say I am a 1337 overclocker, but something is telling me this is not right. Plus the times in Super PI get worst; thus making it not worth doing other testing.

From my understanding, it is not ideal to run a memory divider, and I believe if I loosen my memory timings, I can raise my memory speed. But in the BIOS, I cannot find a way to do this, and the sticky does not quite cover what I'm looking for.

Can someone point me in a direction of what I am trying to do? Right now I am looking at the DFI SLI-DR motherboard... One because of this overclocking hurdle, the other because of the hardware potential (PCI-E, and I'm looking into the RAID 5).
