I've been well over 300 on the Sabertooth, @ 1.2v NB. More is not necessary. OP has a **** processor or ram. Luck of the draw.

Like I said. With the ram you have one of two choices. Well 3 now that I think about it.
1. Drop the ram to auto let it default to 1333 or 1600 whichever that one does then go from there.
2. Try hitting F5 go completely to defaults, use the DOCP option and see if it will even run at 2400 speed.
3. try a different BIOS for that board. I did some testing long ago, it's in the Just Putzen thread somewhere. I'll see if I can find it. BUT what I found was that some BIOS versions were terrible for reading the XMP/SPD profile and setting ram up even on auto with main timings set manually. I even had trouble booting into the bios let alone windows and that was before any settings. Just clearing CMOs put new stick in and no boot. I knew these stick would work from previous experience. The only difference was he BIOS version.
EDIT: Here it is, shows the difference between two different BIOS and how the ram was being read http://www.overclockers.com/forums/...Putzen-Round?p=7657778&viewfull=1#post7657778
Then get it off the 250. You are creating your own stumbling block here. Up the multi by one or two, and drop the bus speed. You can still achieve the same OC, you just have to do it a different way.
It's not the board. I can 99% guaranty it.

I got the same speed with a 250 fsb so I'm cool with it. If it's not the board then I'm lost cause I've tried tons of memory settings and adjusting voltages. On a side note when I got my board it was bent up in the upper left by the i/o panel. Not sure if that's affecting anything. Once I get the money I may pick up a new board and see if that helps unless I can get better results with a different bios. But I won't be able to play with it for 7 hours cause I'm at work right now.

Why do you need a new board? Buying a new one just to try and get over 250FSB is a waste of money. Sorry to say it but it's true if that's your intentions.

Ahh my bad. I thought you were dead set on getting more than 250FSB.
A corner bent that bad... Did it come like that? Maybe return it if you can. RMA even (long shot)

So just got done testing other bios and same thing. Only now I can get it to post at 255 but I get win errors and bsod's. That's with ram running around 1600 with loose timings. So still seems like 250 is the best I'll get, but that's ok. I'll just wait for zen to come out and upgrade.

How's that warped corner doing is what I'm wondering.
Though seems to have no effect on your clocks so push on!!!!

Cpu temp is socket, keep < 70c... Package temp is the "Cores" keep < 62 c. You will see the package temp drop below ambient when not under load, which is impossible unless cooling with sub ambient cooling. . This is normal, the Fx doesn't have an actual sensor per se on the cores. It's an algorithmic calculation that AMD came up with to give a reading. It's been said my AMD themselves it's not accurate until about 40C under load.
