New update w/ OC FX55

[newls1]

I backed down the multiplier from 14x to (stock) 13x, made my ram timings to 3-4-4-8 1T and upped the HTT to 220MHZ. For a total of 2.86Ghz. Im going to run memtest86 to see if i get any errors, and then when done, ill post back and let you all know. Wish me luck, but knowing me it will fail .

This damn ram will not be stable, so I set a divider (set ram to DDR333 in BIOS) and am hoping to increase the FSB to a nice limit. How good will this work?

ok, here is where im at. I couldn't stabilize my computer for sh*t going past 210FSB using 13.5 mulitlier, or I could go past 215FSB using 13.0 multiplier. So Im now using a 13.5 multi @ 210HTT, ram timings are 2.5-3-3-8 1T. My sandra memory score is 6100, is this on par for an fx55 PC? Well, I guess this is the end of my OC, so untill I get better ram, here is my new PC.

It could be your mobo...I had pretty crappy numbers on my A8N..I just picked up a MSI Neo4 Plat/SLI as every mobo comparison shows the A8N trailing the MSI and the DFI with the same CPU and RAM (i.e. the board being the hold up).

Just a guess
