stuck on e4300 overclock

hi all, had my e4300 running @2.6 ghz in my old asrock dual vsta mobo with no problems, but now i have upgraded to a gigabyte ep43-ds3l i cant get it past 2.16ghz. im pretty sure its the memory settings, im useing twinx pc6400 and as i am trying to keep it at around 800mgz in the multiplier the strapping settings are alternating between 266/333/200/400 is this correct ?, at the moment i have 240 fsb (2.16ghz) multiplier at 3,33c (200mgz) can anyone tell me the correct memory settings to get my e4300 back up to 2.5/2.6 ghz. i have tried upping the vcore but it still wont boot past 2.16ghz

Try -

- FSB to 290mhz
- Set the memory strap to the 266 option.

That should* give you 2.6ghz with the memory running at ~770mhz. Be sure to set the correct voltage for the memory if it needs more than the stock 1.8v.

now trying it out, thanks for replying

its booted at 2,6 ghz, 290 fsb x multiplier 2.50 (266) memory at 723.... thats brill.

need to check stability now.. thanks for your help

Stability *should* be fine at that speed. Voltages usually don't need to be touched til ~3ghz.

You might get away with 320 x 9 without having to touch any voltages. That would also have your memory running at ~800mhz on the x2.50 memory multiplier.
