You might need to replace the TIM on your chipset with something like MX-2 since you have all of the dimms occupied. The northbridge runs hot and that seems to have helped alot of people out.

You may have hit a FSB hole they are random and huge on these nForce boards. My e8400 hit one around a 440fsb. It sounds like you got a good board though. With some tweeking and research you should see good results. Good luck.
This is really funny... i have a dual-boot with XP 64 and Windows 7 Beta. So out of curiosity yesterday i choosed to start Windows 7 Beta and... be impressed!!! it booted to desktop with no stability problems above 1200FSB, I even threw the longest Super Pi calculation, and Prime 95 as well.

What's going on??? I even managed to get 1333FSB and no problems at all!!!

Is Windows 7 less sensitive to overcloking??

Then i started thinking... ok, I have the latest drivers from Nvidia for Xp64, 181.22 Whql and i have both 8800GTX overclocked to 610mhz GPU, 1450mhz Shaders and 950mhz memory... i also have Nvidia system tools installed (which is the app i used for the overclock)... Could it be that?

If not what other explanation??? SLI is activated in Windows 7 and makes no difference... super-stable.
