1x WD 80 SATA on Silicon Image Raid controller JBOD setting
3x Benq 16/8 DVD+/- R/W (1620)
1x SB Live 5.1
2x BFG Tech 7800GTX in SLI 256meg Ea.

I currently have the system running 2.95GHz. with timings of
227HTT X 13 Multi X 4=2958 MHz Water
PCI clock @115
cpu voltage @ 1.43v
DDR voltage @ 2.80
Mem is DDR400 Manual Settings

Sugestions? Different mem? Different MB, I want to stay with Asus as I have had good luck with their boards,
I would love better timings

You might want to ask to have this moved here:

There's a few stickies at the top of that forum which should get you rolling.

IMHO your RAM will be the first thing you will want to change in terms of OCing, but that's only my opinion. You should definitely check out the OC forum. Good luck and be careful!

Wrong forum. The CPU/Overclocking forum is the right one. Read the OC guides first. But as far as hardware, I would get the 165. Actually, I did, after lots of research.

Here is a good basic read even though it is written for a MSI board.

How to find your max HTT speed
Lower your Cpu multi to 6 or 7.
Set memory to 100 (1/02)
Increase your HTT/FSB and boot your computer until it fails to boot. Back Down 2-3 Mhz till able to boot. This is your max HTT. Multiply your Max HTT by 0.95. Write this number down. Example 342 x 0.95 = 324.9 Round it to 325.
How to find your max CPU speed
Set your cpu fan to kick on at 30C.
Set your Cpu muilti to Highest 9,10 or whatever.
Memory speed to 100 (1/02)
Set Vcore to 1.6 - 1.7. 1.6 for air 1.7 for water cooling.
Raise HTT till you fail to prime for 5 min. You only need to pass for 5 min for right now. When you fail lower HTT by 3-5 Mhz and try again. This is your max Cpu speed. Multiply it by 0.95. Example 2700 x 0.95 = 2565. Write this number down.
How to find your max Memory speed.
Give your memory your memory between 2.9 - 3.4 volts depending on what type it is.
Set CPU to 6-7 Multiplier.
Raise your HTT till you fail mem test 5-6. You can select for Memtest to do one pass on test 5 and one pass on test 6. When it fails Muiltiply by 0.95. Example 250 x 0.95 = 237.5 Round to 238. Right this number down.
Then put all those numbers into Gogars Athlon 64 Optimizer found HERE (http://math.gogar.com/athlon64.cgi )
Use the settings from the top row down. You do not have to change anything in the importance weighting. Also put 1000 into the Ht box.
