What's limiting?

[the prodigy]

Before I begin, here's my system:

Abit NF7-S v2 bios 23
1700+ DLT3C JIUHB
2x256 OCZ EL DDR PC3200
Radeon 9500 np
Thermalright AX-7 w/ Sunon
Enermax 300W PSU
1 Maxtor 30 GB
1 WD 160 GB
1 CyberDrive CDRW
1 Pioneer DVD

My problem is that I can't seem to push my FSB anywhere beyond 210 MHz even with relaxed timings, Vdimm @ 2.9, vcore @ 1.8. My computer won't even post. I've read a lot about OCZ ram and it seems that they're really overclockable but I can't squeeze anything out of mine. I have no more ideas as to where I'm going wrong or perhaps that something's limiting. I know that the mobo's locked so there shouldn't be problems with frequency interference. I'm keeping the synchronous mode on. Could it be that my chip won't go any more than 210 FSB? I'm pretty sure my chip has more potential, and I'm confident my RAM can do more than that at lax timings. Really really in need of help here. Any more hints or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Run your memory at a divder and find out what's limiting you.

Lower the mult and loosen the timings together, see if you can hit over 210. Also play with the VDD (northbridge/NB voltage), try 1.5, 1.6, and 1.7. Some people have better luck with a lower VDD in that range for some reason. Also try to disable CPU interface (although that problem is fixed in Tictac's newest BIOS revisions) and see what effect that has. Get better NB cooling if you don't have it already. If none of those things help you, likely your RAM or chip has reached a wall. Also supposedly a L12 mod might help you although again Tictac's BIOS can even help there. Check the nForcersHQ.com forum, particularly the Abit forum, for more help.
