It's always prudent to take the RAM out of the equation when probing for maximum FSB. Just because the RAM is rated at 8500 doesn't mean that it will achieve that speed on every DDR2 board. There are only several devices that are connected to the MB...PSU, RAM, CPU, CPU cooler, GPU, HDD, mouse, and keyboard. When I encounter mysterious FSB wall with a capable board, the culprit is usually the RAM or the BIOS.
