I get a good score on 3D Vantage

The main part of the high score comes from the Physx boost related to the 177.39 driver and abit of the overclock. I can run the RAM at 1555 Mhz however I'm not sure if this helps if I can't get the motherboard over 1333 Mhz.

Has anyone OC'd this Motherboard to higher than 3.0 Ghz with this CPU? If so what settings do I need?
I have the same problem with a Q6600 (G0 stepping), but I can get it to 3.60GHz or even beyond at idle (cooling can't handle higher than 3.70) on a 8x multiplier. Try setting the FSB to 1600 and the multiplier at 8x, adjust some of the CPU and NB voltages and it should work.
