Your ram is well OC'ed there and the timings are tight too, you sure it can handle that? i think thats whats going wrong, why are running 2:3 ratio,

As has been said , it needs to be 1:1

If there is not explicit option for this, set your Ram at 133mhz manually, then when you raise the FSB, the ram goes up in sync too,

theres no option for that on this board neither ive tried all that :( , trying to get a digital camera to prove this maybe i just got a bad board to overclock on i think i may give asus an email not sure

yeah 266 - ram dividers are pretty confusing imo, you should be able to lock the ram at whatever frequency you want - not always the best option but simpler
 
thats whats got me but still right i put it on 266 then put my fsb up to 166 and it just dont post turn it off at the plug says overclock failed

EDIT im in at 3.09 GHZ but it still dont wanna do 166 :( whats the spread spectrum al about anyone know ? but i disabled it to post lol and ive put the agp pci lock to 66 - 33 from auto

EDIT im in at 3.2 ghz testing but my rams at 160 mhz also so i shoyuld be alright if i can hit 166 but it wonteven post wheni set it to 166 any ideas

btw - 2.5 5 5 20 are not tight timings, there loser than lose timings lol, 2.5-3-3-8 qould be closer to the mark

so, the board wont post at 166, right, this may sound quite dumb (and probably is) try setting it to say, 200, and see if it posts (cant hurt if it doesnt)
 
right tried 200 first off didnt do tried after 190 195 180 185 170 175 169 nothing not a sausage could it be something to do with the pci e or something cos it dont mention in anywhere of the bios about pci e and any frequencies on how to lock it , sorry for being a pain in the arse these asus mobos are soo weird for me :)
 
or could it be that im using ide hdds just a thought suppose ill have to settle for 3.2 for now least its averaging 130 FPS on the cs source stress test i can live with that, going to stress test then if it passes il reformat start with a fresh install , and it seems looking on asus forum about this board people are asking about the voltage cos there stuck at the same sort of speed with me with the same cpu

:O wanna know something i put my 9800 pro in took out the x800 and it booted on a 166 FSB :confused: css froz @ 3.2 ghz i suppose its because of theres no pci e lock neways ill revert back to stock and saveup for a new mobo

EDIT: well shes clocked @ 3 ghz been prime stable for 9 hours now played css for a few hours run 3dmark to see if it locks up everythings hunky dory at 3 ghz suppose ill have to leave it for when they release a bios with a pci e lock someone told me to rma it like i duno what todo
