Well , right now I have my Mushking PC3500 lvl2 @ 214fsb@2.8v running 2.2.2.11 for the memory timings. Anytime I try to bump the FSB up to say like 220 or even 217 which are the speeds for this ram I get a no post. I havn't relaxed the timings yet , which I'm sure is the problem. Though I wanted to know what would be a max "semi safe" voltage for this memory. My motherboard only hits 2.9 max (abit nf7-s). Also , could my timmings just be what's keeping me from getting better FSB? I've lower'd the multi to keep the speeds the same , increasing the FSB to make up the difference. 10.5*214 was rock solid @ 2.2.2.11 on prime for 24hrs , I seem to not be able to OC my memory any more past what it's at now.

Ram voltage/timming?

you could of also hit the limit of either the motherboard or your cpu. I have had one barton 2800+ which was the limit of my last oc at 436fsb. To test if it is the cpu use the ratios in the bios and test it that way.
The ram should be fine for extended periods at 2.9V but you need to remember that the abit undervolts the cpu quite a bit and overvolts the ram quite a bit. So really if you want 2.9V you only need 2.8V in bios. Also make sure that you increased the voltage to 1.7V on the northbridge to give it the extra juice to hit the high fsbs

Up to 3.3vdimm will be fine for daily safe use. (which you won't even be able to do without modding your PS's 3.3v rail.
Alright , I'll keep that in mind. Right now my comp is at home running Prime at 11@214 so it's rougly 2360mhz , when I get off work I'll see if prime is still stable. It was running fine when I left for work and I had started running it lastnite. My max temp was I believe 52C , though I know Abit temps always show hotter then they really are. I belive I'm at 1.875v or 1.9. I forgot
