Can't get past 260HTT w/ A8N32

[Deus Excalibur]

I got this board on Friday and I've been having poor HTT overclocking results so far. No matter what I can't seem to break past a HTT of 260. I tried memory dividers, voltage adjustments and BIOSs 0703 and 0805.

Any tips/suggestions?

what htt multiplier are you running ?

[Arkangyl]

hell, what CPU multi you using? Sig has 11x250 = 2.75, I don't know how much headroom that proc has

2x1024MB Ballistix 3-3-3-8 [2.7v] @ 250mhz

I bet that's your problem.

I've tried a 3x HTT multiplier.

I wasn't going for a higher speed, I'm trying to hit 10x275 for more memory bandwidth. On my old DFI SLI-DR board I could hit that 1:1.

Why would the Ballistix be the problem? They are stable up to 275mhz 1:1 @ 2.75v and I've tried dividers.

I'm having similar results. I can't seem to use CAS2.5 for anything higher then the 183 divider with my TCCD RAM. At this point in time, this is a quirky motherboard.

I did read somewhere in the A8N32 big thread in this forum, that turning off ECC helps boot at 270+ HTT.
