Could someone take a look at this please and help me

Drop the ht multy to 3x to keep inder 1000.
What is the rating of your ram as you are running that at 220Mhz which may cause a problem if its pc3200 stuff. Drop the divider so it runs slower.
Also dont be scared to up the voltage a bit more
What are your load temps like? Try to keep under 50c and dont go above 1.55v
What motherboard and cooler do you have?

Yes tried at 166 x3 and at 200 x4
I have to be missing something?
It will run 10x220 fine 1:1 then it should run a higher FSB with a 4 or 3x multiplier

The x3 or the x4 multy is the htt freq (3xfsb of cpu) not the ram speed. There should be a setting in bios for running a divided on the ram so that is running at 200mhz even tho the cpu is at 220+
You have ram set to cpu/10 so one u go to say 2300MHz the ram is running at 230mhz when its only rated for 200Mhz
Did you try carnking up the voltage as temps are fine
Might need a bit extra on the chipset and ltt voltage too (not sure if ** mb has those adjustments)

Ah i got ya now Ive have dropped the memlock divider down to 333 i'll try again, I thought the HTT multiplier sorted the memory speed out
Cheers
HTT should be set to 4x if you are runninjg the cpu at 240FSB. My bad in previous post where i said 3x 
try to keep as close to 1000 as possible)
The ram will need more than 2.5 volts. Most is at least 2.6v so change that in bios.
Give it some more volts too
Not all will do good speeds so you might just have a bad clocker that needs more voltage. Do you know the stepping code thats stamped on the cpu IHS?
Do you have any other voltage adjustments in the bios you could increase?
Got an opteron myself that needs 1.42v to do 2800 but 1.52v to do 2950.
All cpus are different.
Just keep it under 1.55v and 50c (ish) to be safe

Ok now boots to windows but not stable settings are
10x230
1.4volts cpu
2.7 on the ram
HTT x3
memclock divider @ 333 also tried 266
Temps are 46 under load though its not easy to test under load because it keeps falling over so from crash to getting into the bios the temp have about 10seconds to cool
Either ive got a rubbish CPU or something else is holding me back, could it be that the ram is running dual channel
It is frustrating to hear of other people running these at 2.6 at stock volts

Nah ram should be fine in dual channel.
Whats the spd timings of your ram in cpu-z?
Whats your chipset temp? Did you up the voltage for that?
Up the htt to 4x to give 960Mhz htt
Up the volts on cpu
Not familiar with your motherboard but not all are capable of high fsb. Quiet a lot top out at 250ish.....dfi ultras are good for 300+ though

I had a 3400 running higher than that on the same board. Found that dropping the multiplier and increasing the front side bus was what's needed.
It was very fussy about ram timings also. The last number in the timings (tRAS) should be a total of the others or rounded up to a hole number if a .5 . Example, if you have 3/3/3/8, should be 3+3+3=9 or if 2.5/3/3/9.
Just my findings with this board but got the ram up to 500mhz if I remember right PC3200 budget brand of some type at 3/3/2/8, or was it 3/2/3/8
. Was looking for an excuse to burn it out and get some good stuff so wasn't too worried about pumping as much voltage in it as I could.

That has help loads thanks, now stable @ 2375 9.5 x 250 Core @1.4 52c under load A little high but the ram timings was probally the issue i'll try and lower the volts to the core and see what happens
Thanks to both of you
You've probably got a better clock more to do with the lower multiplier than the memory timings. I would try and avoid half multipliers because the don't technically exist. Strange things start to happen with your CPU to RAM ratio.
I know it seems strange and that its a backwards step in over all clock speed but try going down to X9 on the CPU; Going down on the ram speed to 333 and upping the Front side but until you compensate for the lower multiplier.
I wouldn't worry about the temp too much just keep it under 60 for long term use.
