Cant hit higher speeds :(

[Relion]

So my XP-90 arrived and I pushed my Winnie up to 2500Mhz....my memory is @ 250Mhz 3-3-3-8 (from 3-4-4-10). It is at stock volts as well as memory. But if I try to pull it to 2600Mhz or higher (tried 2650 and 2700) it fails prime miserably in less than a minute. I tried upping the voltage to 1.5V and running a divider on memory but nothing worked. Temps are nice @2500Mhz (34C Idle) so I think I can push it a little farter but just dont know how....Any advice would be highly appreciated.

IOW, you've hit your CPU's max, or you have forgotten to lower the LDT to 3x

LDT was 3X when trying 2600Mhz or 2700Mhz ... I was expecting someone to encourage me to put some more voltages on CPU 😛 ... but really...do you think I am CPU limited?

Looks like you are memory limited, try the default timings and make sure you change the memory speed to 166MHZ in BIOS.

use 1.55v perfectly safe. i have 2700mhz 1.55v on my winnie.

My 3200 winnie needs 1.6V to reach 2.6 stable. Also make sure your giving the ballistix 2.8V your current memory timings should be fine for further overclocking.

What cooling are you using? Temps? Oh...never mind...reading your rig...
