Athlon x2 5000+ (AMD K8 with 45nm?)

[quadomatic]

I'm hitting a wall with my fsb at 270.

I set the ram multiplier to 2.00x, and all voltages are at default, and HT link width and frequency are on auto.

If I raise fsb to 275, it won't post. I've tried raising the ram voltage to 2.00V from 1.80V, but it's not doing any good.

I know you mentioned dropping the HT, but I'm not sure what the setting for that is. There's a setting for HT link width and HT link frequency, but I'm not sure what that is exactly. I tried setting HT link width to 8.0 and HT link frequency to 800 mhz and 1ghz but it didn't help.

Any advice?

UPDATE: It appears to purely be a ram issue. I took out the 2 sticks of ddr2 667, and I was able to get it to boot at 3.3ghz, but I don't know how stable it is yet. I guess I'll have to invest in some faster ram.
