The latest BIOS (2.30) has no HTT cap. I chose my ram timmings based off the guy I bought the processor off of. He is an avid OCer and he played around with the settings for about an hour until everything was smooth. When he left, it was running smoothly at 2.4Ghz. I have since been very slowly upping the HTT until I hit the wall of 2.5Ghz with those ram timmings. I really don't know much about adjusting ram timmings to fiddle with them. The HT link right now is at 600Hmz and the core is making great contact as I have reseated it 4 times, all with the same result. I'm using good 'ole AS5 as the TIM.

BTW, I thank you for your responces.
