I see what your memory was running at stock, but not what it is running with the OC. Can you check on cpu-z where it sits right now? I'm guess that it is what is holding you back by what you've posted. Have you already tried knocking the memory divider down to the 667 or 533 settings?

Can you get it to run at 12x300?

What are your current NB and HT multipliers?

CPU voltage? Ram Voltage?

htlink-1925

nb-2200

Well, then your NB appears to be set at a multipliers of 8x and your HT at 7x. I'd try and set them to the same multiplier (7 or 8), and see how that affects things.

First things first, though, did 12x300 work?
