First OC, any recommendations?

[delemon]

Hi all, current setup is in my sig. The short and skinny so far is

 

Opty 148 CAB2E 0545 @2.92GHZ 292X10

2x Kingston HyperX 512M PC3200 @243MHz 2-2-6-2-1T

 

Can't seem to get it stable in 3DMark03 at anything above 2.92GHz, even wtih the RAM at 1/2 divider. I can get everything else stable at 2.97GHz. Think I may have just topped out the limit on my Opty. Temps reported by MBM @Idle 31-40-49, withi CPU @42 max under Prime95 load.

 

Through memory testing procedure in the A64 OC Guide, I found my RAM to max out at [email protected], I can get to [email protected], but I have no active cooling at this point so I think that might be pushing it.

 

Interested in my specific settings, I've posted my exact setup in the My rig in the OC Database, post 114

Any suggestions as to what I could do to get any more out of this setup?
