Now, I currently have my system OC'd stable Orthos at 370mhz FSB with 1:1 ratio with my RAM. Pictures are a thousand words, so here are my BIOS specs.

My problem is... I can't go any higher then 370FSB. Any higher and the system won't post. I have tried upping the CPU voltage to 1.575v to no avail...and I don't want to push it any higher. Funny thing is, BIOS says 1.575v while CPUZ says 1.213v =/ ? I idle at 36-38 at these settings, so cooling isn't an issue. Any suggestions? Will I have to do a pencil mod? I really do want to hit 400FSB to go 1:1 ratio with my RAM.

Thanks.
 
1. Set RAM timings to SPD.
2. Set RAM voltage to 2.2
3. Report back here.
4. What bios rev are you using?
 
BIOS Rev? If you mean version, 1707.

And I think your tip did it Nik. Upping the memory volt has made me push 370, currently stress testing with Orthos at 375. Stable so far at 10minutes :) .
 
Ok, just noticed this but whenever I set core voltage to 1.5v or higher, CPU-Z volt reading drops down to 1.2v'ish ?.? Is my board broken?
 
no, that's just a cpuz bug. it happens to pretty much everyone at right around 1.45v real, which you are past (you are probably around 1.47v if set to 1.5v in bios).
