OC problems with P5N-E SLI

Alright, I've overclocked some stuff before but it's been a while since I've gotten back into the game and I don't think I'm getting the performance I should... I just don't know where to start with the OC'ing on this board, here are my specs:

-E6750
-P5N-E SLI
-2GB (2x1GB) Crucial Ballistix 800Mhz 4-4-4-12 (That's not what they're running at)
-2x EVGA 8800GT 512MB KO

I would like to run the processor at around 3.2-3.5Ghz, and I know how to figure out the math to do that, it's not that complicated, but I don't know what else to set up, like what is the SLI ready memory option, etc.

I'm using the 0803 BIOS, by the way.

I've been playing around with it all day today and I can't seem to actually get it stable. If I manually adjust the ram timings to 4-4-4-12 2T it doesn't run.

I also have an Arctic Cooler Freezer Pro 7 heatsink on my CPU.

Have any of you guys used this board before? I just want some general ideas for voltages, memory settings, etc. I thought I'd be fine but I'm having a hell of a time getting this thing to run like I want while I wait on my 680i LT.
 
You can easily get 400FSB out of it. With no real changes to the voltages. Manually input the memory timings and 2T command rate. As well make sure you have good cooling.

Board doesn't support SLI memory.
 
Alright... I think I hit a sweet spot, now I'm going to slowly continue OC'ing it.

Right now it's at 3.2Ghz with a FSB of 400 (1600) and my ram is running at 800Mhz with timings of 4-4-4-12 2T. In 3DMark05 I got 21,xxx so I'm going to install '06 now and I'm gonna try to crank up the clock to 3.6Ghz. I think it will run alright.

This is fun.
 
I've got this board, and mine DOES have the SLI memory option in the bios, version 0401. Course i'm running a E6600, you need a higher one for the newer cpus, so I'm not sure if they took it away or not. I don't use it though, it would set my ballistix to 1T instead of 2T, which wasn't ever stable. With my 9x multi though I haven't needed to run over 400fsb. Just watch out for the voltage droop, its about .09 on my board.
