I was even contemplating removing my IHS on my new opty if this sticks clocked really well, but i don't like mem multi's, and 250 is as high as they will go.

EDIT : i haven't tried 3-3-3-8 maybe i will try some other time when i am not so frustrated.
i'd try bumping the cpu multiplier to 10x just to confirm ram is holding you back

I really think the secret is in your bios somehow though!
