ram help with a a8n32-sli m/b

[Derrick70]

ok heres the deal im running
a8n32-sli
3200+X2 uncapped
2 gigs of pc 3200 corsair TWINX2048-3200C2

any way when the 3800+ is O/C to 2.6 my memory kicks down and starts running@ 178.3 not the rated 200. when i lock the mb to run the ram @ 200 it locks up or wont boot at all. im thinking that this ram is not alowing me to get my full clock out of my pc and im now looking in to picking up the 3500LLPRO and going for the 2.9 mark but i want to make sure the ram is holding me back and not some thing else.

my plan was to run the hell out of the cpu on a overclock and leave the ram at 200 but it wont boot.

if you guy need any other info on the rig let me know.

that "lock" isn't a lock at all, but a 1:1 ratio

ok here is may math

10x166=16
2800/16=175 and that is under 200 so that number is good

10x166=16
2900/16=181.25 still under 200

10x166=16
3000/16=187.25 still under 200

now the question is will my cooling beable to handle a 50% O/C or i may have hit the wall at 2.6
