Hey, I got this far pretty much on auto settings and CPU ratio 8.0, FSB 410.
When I increase FSB any further there will be crashes, and if I attempt to adjust voltages the system won't boot.
Any help getting the system to boot and increasing FSB further?

CPU temps seem to reach max 50C on P95 and seem fine to me, should be able to go higher right? I've got a Hyper evo 212 cooler and a 700w chieftec psu.

Been playing around these volts but can't get it to boot:
Vcore: 1.2-1.31V
PLL: Auto
NB: 1.25-1.35V
SB: Auto
DRAM: 1.9-2.1V
FSB Termination: 1.3V

Below are system specs and bios settings:

Am I missing something here? I can't make the system stable when trying to adjust volts myself.
Any more stable settings someone can recommend?
