Memory timings

Hello all my first post here

I'm after a bit of advice regarding memory timings. I'm currently running a q6600 on gigabyte p35-ds4 prime stable at 3.0 ghz load temps 58.
I have 4 gb Corsair DDR2 XMS2-6400C4 current memory timings are 5-5-5-18 running at 2.1v. I cannot get the system to post at 4-4-4-12.
Any idea's why this could be ?

Would uping the voltage to the northbridge help or uping the memory voltage ?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply.

Many thanks Andy i'll give that a try now.

Is is ok to run it at 2.2v 24/7 if that works ?

I presume it if i lock it at 800mhz i will lose a bit off performance compared to it running at 1000mhz. That extra 200mhz will provide better performance than tighter memory timings right ?

Thanks

Andy yeah im running 1333 fsb. Basically ive gone from 266 to 333 and its very stable. Im pretty new to this so from reading through a few guides uping the fsb sounded easy

.

cob ill benchmark at 4-4-4-12 next got 12329 in 3d mark with 1333 fsb.

Thanks for all the help btw
