I have an Asus P5B Deluxe and a e6600@2.8Ghz. I also have this Mem:

Through Asus AI Suite (which i'm using to overclock it to 2.8GHz since for some reason in the Bios it don't let me raise or lower the FSB) i upped the FSB to 333Mhz and my memory timings were at 1:1. I then raised the cpu volts to 1.30. And restarted and no post. I raised it to 1.312, and no post. I raised it again to 1.32 and no post. What is keeping me from hitting 3GHz with this e6600?
 
up the volts to 1.35-1.4v as the e6600 needs a bit of a voltage boost to get over 3ghz
 
Have you tried OCing in BIOS? What are your temps using coretemp or TAT?
 
I'm using an OCZ GamerXtreme 600 watts.

It don't allow me to adjust the FSB in the bios, only under Asus AI suite............very weird..........
TaT has my temps at idle at 34C @2.8GHz and around 48C at full load
 
Very weird you cant change FSB in bios. Does your ram have enough volts? Maybe the 1:1 ratio is holding you back. Have you tried higher FSB? Do you have the latest mobo bios?
 
Have you tried updating the BIOS? Is there an enable overclocking option in the BIOS?
 
Ok, I flirted around in the bios some more. I found out how to Overclock in the bios ( i didn't know to use the + and - buttons.........I'm a noob) anyways, i got everything stable at 2907MHz with the FSB of 323Mhz. I can't seem to push the FSB any higher without it not posting...........

How do i change it out of 1:1 ratio??

I don't have your mobo so I don't know how different it is to mine, but look for anything memory related. Look for something that says memory divider, memory speed...If you aren't sure, right them down or something and post here so you can get some help. Or maybe someone with your board can help. The main reason to do this is to remove the possibility that your ram is holding you back. Most likely isnt the issue but still good to check. Also what volts is your ram at?

Another thing you can try, is lower you multiplier, and up the FSB. If it still doesnt work, then its probaly either your mobo, or your ram. Your ram should have no problem at those speeds however.
 
Try OC'ing the RAM.

Your RAM is rated at 4-4-4-12 at 1.9V, but double check Corsair's website to make sure.
