Overclocking wall...need help

[King_Weaver]

Ok so I just built the system in my sig.. Unfurtunately im severely cpu limited so Ive tried ocing the cpu. Im using the manual setting for the memory so that its unlinked from the FSB so memory shouldnt be an issue. Also ive disabled EIST, C1E, and all the spread spectrums. Im running a 1.45V cpu voltage, a 1.4V NB voltage, and the memory at 2.0V. Unfurtunately I can only get an overclock to 2800mhz (350x8). Ive read that theres an FSB hole from about 380-400 on this board so ive tried setting the multiplier to 6x then setting the fsb to 410-415 but it wont even post. It seems like everyone with this board cpu combo is getting at least 3.2ghz. BTW Im running a TT big typhoon II HSF which keeps the cpu at around 25C idle 35C load at 2800mhz...so cooling isnt an issue. Any suggestions that could push me into the 3ghz+ range would be appreciated.

First off, use Coretemp to measure your temperatures... a load temp under 40 just isn't reasonable for a conroe over 2.4ghz

Have you locked the PCI and PCIe busses to 33mhz and 101mhz? Not all boards let you lock the PCI bus (it's on by default, so if you can't find this setting, don't worry).
