Well for starters I need 1.55 vcore to reach 2.7 so it sounds as though you have a better chip than me. Have you tried upping the vcore some more (keep an eye on cpu temps tho)?

The HTT multiplier settings are what swung it for me. For some reason my board defaulted to auto and 2x but after setting these :

3x
16 up 16 down
3x
16 up 16 down

I managed to get 2.7 stable along with relaxing the memory also ran a 133 divider. Although I cannot get any further now, I'm more than happy with 2.7 so I'll stick with that. Temps are a bit high so no doubt I will have to drop down to 2.6 and lower the vcore a little in the summer unless the wife lets me buy phase .
