Just for the record: I was unable to achieve anything much over 2.15 GHZ until I disabled Spread Spectrum thingys in BIOS.
Then it was a simple matter of lowering mem divider (from 667 to 533) and HT link to 800, left multiplier at 10x and raised Bus to 240.
I tried going even higher but anything over 245 failed to post. Temp. at full load is around 55 degrees on stock cooler, ran Prime95 for 6.5 hours, no errors.
I even set memory timings from default 5-6-5-15-21 to 4-5-5-13-19 and it's stable...I'll try lower today (ran Memtest for only 20 mins, I had to go to sleep).
MY 8800GTS is forever grateful, I went from 6600 to 7400 in 3DMark 06!
(main reason why I went OC-ing anyway, my CPU just wasn't srong enough to push that GPU).
I'm installing Arctic Xoller Pro now, then I'll try to reach 2.5 GHz somehow...
Just sharing info.
