Overclocking Help please...

[P-Dub]

As you can see from my Sig, my spec is not too bad, but i'm hitting a ceiling and am being very confused by the whole deal...

 

I hit 230 and the RAM wont go any further, and TBH i dont know enough about timings to get this sucker stable any higher. With the ram on a 180 divider i can hit 255 max, now this RAM is TCCD, but it LOVES voltage, had it running 3.3 on my LANparty NF2 all the time, and ran at 260 FSB 2,2,2,11 stable for screenshots , which i have since lost due to domains dying and me not having a backup...

 

Anyways, the problem as i see it is, this rig should go a lot higher, but for some reason i am hitting a wall that i just cant get past, any chance someone could gimme a couple of pointers as to how to sort this and whether or not its worthwhile getting an OCZ booster for this Mobo and if it'll work.

 

Thanks a lot guys, if you need anymore info, slap down what you need below and i'll sort it ASAP.

It would appear that your ram is holding you back try knocking back your Cas to 2.5 then see what happens. U may not need as much voltage as you are using as well but its your ram. It looks like good ram so it should go higher! See what happens man keep us posted.

TCCD doesnt do 260 2-2-2....I think you may be talking about BH-5 or OCZ VX 4000... TCCD may do 260 2.5-3-3-11 or whatnot and then 300 but not 2-2-2 @ that high of speeds.
