Question about maxing out ram

[Bon3thugz43v3r]

Currently I have an Asus A7N8X rev 1.04 which has been reported to have trouble getting over 200 FSB stable. The ram I am currently using is Corsair XMS PC3200 CL2 400Mhz and for a little more in deph detail of the ram it is v1.1 with the black heat spreader. Just for fun, I was seeing how high I could get this ram. I used memtest 86 to test for stabibility. I set my muliti to 10x and my fsb to 200 to start off and it passed that fine. Then I tried 205, passed fine, 210, passed fine, 215, 86 errors. So at 215 my memory started to get errors. I then upped the voltage on the memory from 2.6 to 2.7 and re-did the test, but it failed. Up to 2.8, failed. Then 2.9, failed. So I am just curious, is this my memory crapping out at 215 or is it my 1.04 rev A7N8X?

Thanks in advance.

That looks like what I have. I start noticing errors ~215 range as well.

Try less aggresive timing.

Yea less agressive timings might do it..

Also...you should use memtest86 with known STABLE cpu settings. You do this because...memtest86 not only tests your system memory...but your CPUs L1 & L2 cache as well.
So set the FSB to a lower setting like 180 and set the Memory Frequency to 120% in your bios. that will result in ~216Mhz memory speed.
