Alright guys, i've got a abit ip35-e, 2gb geil ddr2 800 ultra low latency and a e2180. I seem to be alright at getting it running at 3gb (10x300), but then because of the ram divider i've got 750mhz or 900mhz ram instead of 800. It won't post at 900mhz unfortunately.

So i set it to 333fsb and adjust the multiplier to 9 (3gig) and arrange the ram divider to set it at 800mhz... perfect you would think. But it won't post! can anyone tell me why? the cpu volt is set at 1.375, which is stable at 10x300 so i don't think the cpu needs more volts. i've tried it with more volts anyway and it doesn't make any difference.

Do i need to up the voltage on the ram or anything? even if i haven't clocked the ram does it need a bit more because of the high fsb? i've uped the north/south bridge 0.15 max and that doesn't seem to make much difference.

do you think i've hit a fsb wall? is it the board? do i need to adjust the ram volts?

windows only reports that because it ASSUMES it's still got a 10x multiplier, so just ignore it.

I've done a sort of work around by setting it to 900mhz RAM and loosened the timings to 5-5-5-18.

It seems really strange, i got it to boot at 400 but cpu-z reports it as 200mhz fsb - not 400 :S my 3dmark score gets 1000 worse as well *sigh* can anyone shed any light on this?
