Well I've got my new system up but while testing limits I ran into a slight problem.

FX-55 set to x7 multi
HTT x3

1:1 I can't boot at anything higher than 240mhz(FSB). If I try to boot above that then I don't even get a post screen. The keyboard doesn't flash and the monitor pwr button stays yellow and doesn't turn green. I primed with the HTT at 320(x3 HTT and 100Mem spd) and it was stable. I've got Mushkin Redline pc4000 which is rated @ 250mhz, the guy I bought it from said he was running fine at 260, and even Anandtech's review got them over 290mhz so I don't think its the ram. I tried relaxing the timings and giving more voltage but I get nothing.

Any ideas?

Currently Running at @ 2.798ghz. x12 Multi, 233HTT x3, Mem spd 200.

Also I get prime failures at 2.8ghz and above, doesn't matter how I get to that spd or how much voltage I give it.

Oops, forgot the specs.

Enhance ENP-5150GH 500W Rev.2.2
FX-55(san diego)
Artic Freezer 64 w/ fan pluged into the CPU1 mobo header
MSI K8N Neo4-FI w/ latest bios 1.D
2x 1gb mushkin redline pc4000
1x 250gb sata HD
1x 250gb ide HD
1x NEC 3500a dvd-burner
1x 7900GTO @ stock for now
AMD Cool n Quiet disabled
 
Well I now have a new problem. My onboard audio is now messed up. It sounds sped up and staticy so I'm guess I just borked the mobo. :(
 
Sounds strange and similiar to my OC. I can't get anything past 240x11. Even reducing my RAM to 100MHz and using an 8x multiplier. I guess you just have to live with the chip's limits.

Well I was using the FX as a warm up for my Opty 165. I just ordered a DFI Ultra-D to replace this board.
