what FSB to memory ratio are you using?

i always say go for the gusto for a short, brief time if you are worry about overvolting for an extended time...that way, you can discount an undervoltage possibly holding you back.

i would suggest higher MCH, all the way to max (1.72) if necessary and ICHIO 1.5 to 1.7 or 1.8v.

you can try vdimm up to 2.35-2.4v with a fan blowing on the dimms.

if none of theses voltage increases work, you just retreat to what you have now.

if you are trying to use 4:5 FSB to memory ratio, that will be more difficult to capture as you climb the FSB ladder.
