Ya you have to do the mod mentioned above by Hicookie to go above 103 PCIE, but you do not need it to go above 200 Blck. It only allows you to raise PCIE over 103 so you can go above 222Blck easier

I ran 227 or so without the mod, and could easily do 200-220 with no PCIE Change at all, so maybe it is your ram holding you back? I only have two 3x2GB Sets, one Crucial and one Mushkin and have had no issues with either aside from a issue with the Mushkins until a compatible BIOS was made. Hyper IC's were not compatible with past BIOS's very well at all. Can you borrow a set from a friend to test with or have a buddy bring some over for testing? Hate to see you go buy new ram when you did not need to and the issue was something else

Hey again well i had to sleep a while but i DID test the ram before actually :P

so CL7 it did come to about 1700mhz with 1.68v more didnt help, then i switched to CL8, that managed to get all the way to 1920mhz or so with same voltage, then it didnt go further, nor with cl9 or more voltageö

Also tried to check max BCLK so i lowered cpu speed, and put mem on 6x, then it was a dud, no post at alll, just an endless loop.. started with 210.

gaaah....

EDIT: tried lowering only cpu speed, and putting 8x on mem, 16x uncore, setting 215 in setfsb just locked....naaah i will sell all and get new stuff, so tired of this when there is no room for some playing, THAT was actually more fun with S775, this I7 just really hits a brick wall, no lines to strech..
