up your vcore another .025 and see what happens.

Yeah, up the Vcore...also, there's the phrase "You win some, you lose some"

I've run into non-OC'able procs a couple of times...

I was getting crashes in windows and BSODs when passing 230 the problem was my ram timings were too tight. try making the cas and all those number higher.

ive noticed that mb doesnt seem to like corsair very much, with my xms non of the ram dividers would work right an would limit the overclock as soon as i got some 1gb sticks of cruicial value ram the problem went way.

Whats your CPU temps? Idle/Load? If its getting too hot, check ur seating and/or fan.
