Ok so I just got a Gskill-HZ UCCC 2gig kit and i've been having some issues trying to overclock it. Basically my CPU core tops out at 2.7 :( And i'm running a divider of 166 atm because I'm having trouble getting this memory to overclock and be stable in windows. My goal would be to be able to get them memory to scale up to 270mhz, with a 180 divider, instead of the 166 I'm using now. Vdimm is 2.77 (Reported in Bios)

Heres a pic of the timings I'm currentlly using:



A couple things I noticed that were odd are the SPD settings (also in the pic) and not the rated 3-4-4-8 for 250mhz, but instead they're 3-5-5-10? Just seemed weird to me, also I've tried loosening up the timings alot up to 3-5-5-10 but I can't seem to get it stable in Super PI 32m past the first couple of loops. I get a "Not Convergent in SRQ" or whatever. (usually that mean I didn't set the affinity right in program manager or somethin, but it doesn't seem to be the case here). Anyways Need some help/advice PLEASE :D
 
i just got the same ram. I have opteron 144 and im doing 285htt with 166 divider. My cpu will do 294htt with old pc3200 ram at 133 but with this gskill i cant go over 290htt. I have 3 4 4 8 and have trouble even getting the default 250 in windows to work. Works in memtest but windows wont run this ram over 245.
 
I've got my HTT running at 300 atm with the 166 divider, leaving my ram at about 245ish, at the default timings of 3-4-4-8, I've seen some of this memory scale up to 290's tho, thus why i asked for the help. :)
 
mine says the same 250 settings in cpu-z. One thing if heard is this memory doesnt like voltage. XS forums, most are running high numbers with 2.5v which my board doesnt go that low.
 
I do not know if this is the case but I read somewhere that the new Gskill HZ are not UCCC and if they are not that could be the cause of the many recent bad oc reports with them

Here is an older shot of my set which are UCCC
