Ok, i posted this over on dfi-street, but no luck so far.

Umm, so i got some new OCZ 3500eb today. Put em in, and started seeing how high i could get the fsb. I got it up to 267, i was very pleased. Then i was screwing around, and got it stable at 11x230@1.7v. So i went to see if i could do 250x10, this is where trouble started. After i tried 250x10, for some reason i could not do it, so i tried going down to 240x10.5, still no go, bring it back to 230x11, no go, up the voltage, no go. I was getting artifacts everywhere posible. I was even getting full screen artifacts, in the bios. So i tried going back to the 11/27's (i was on the 6/19's wich were running fine until now) Right now im at 215x11@2.8vdimm with the incredible timings of 3-4-4. running at this speed seems to have stopped the artfacts but :(. Is there anything i can do?

Im running a dfi infinity, ocz 3500eb, bba 9800pro@stock, 2500xp-m 0351, antec true 430
 
i think ive fixed it, i was running my ram at 3.3v, well i was reading a review for the 3500eb over at anandtech and they only used 2.85v and got up to 255fsb, i figured i would give that a shot, right now im at 250x10@1.7 with 2.9vdimm.
