E2180 overclocking on P5E - Advice?

[TheRedZealot]

I am currently trying to for an OC of between 3Ghz or 3.5Ghz using the system that is in my sig.

I have been trying in the bios with the following settings:

Ai Overclock tuner - Manual
CPU ratio - Auto (X10)
FSB freq - Either 333
FSb strap to north bridge - auto
PCIE freq - Auto

Mem ECC mode - Disabled
DRAM freq - DDR2-800Mhz
DRAM timing control - manual
CAS# latency - 5
RAS# to CAS# Delay - 5
RAS# Precharge - 5
RAS# activation time - 15
RAS# to RAS# delay - auto
ROW refresh time - auto
Write recoverytime - auto
Write to read delay - auto
Read to precharge time - auto
DRAM command rate - 2T
DRAM static read control - auto
Transaction booster control - auto
Vcore voltage - auto
CPU PLL voltage -auto
FSB termination voltage - auto
DRAM voltage - Auto
north bridge voltage - auto
south bridge voltage - auto
clock over-charging voltage - auto

CPU voltage damper - auto
CPU voltage referance - auto
North bridge voltage referance - auto
SB 1.5v voltage - auto
VCC EXT PLL over voltage - auto

CPU spread spectrum - Auto
PCIE spread spectrum - auto

Is there anything wrong with these settings?

When i start i get a message saying:
"overclocking failed! Please enter setup and re-configure your system."

Help much appreciated.

Best thing to do is...

1. Read the FAQ sticky.
2. Read it again.
3. Make one change at a time, and remember what you've changed.
4. O/C in small steps.
