They said NB 1.52 for 8GB..NFG for me.

It's gotta be my CPU dos memtest does not spit out any errors running 8GB at 1800 8-8-8-22. I tried that with my 4GB OCZ and memtest locks up in the first test.
Most likely your cpu is holding you back. With my Q9450, I couldn't get it to Prime stable over 1710.

My Q9450 has a VID of 1.15, so I thought I had a good one, but never could get it to go any higher than that. Once I moved to a Q9650, I got it past 1710 with little difficulty. The voltage on my Q9650 is much higher, though.
