Here it is: 273x11 for 3.003ghz, 4xHT for a 1092 HT link, Vcore@1.3875 with Vcore offset enabled (actually pumping out 1.488v). My memory is running at 858mhz with 4-4-4-12-2T timings and set to DDR667. Temps are staying under 59 C.

I was having a hell of a time using a 12x muliplier to maintain 2.95-3.0ghz since it was clocking my memory to almost 1ghz, the 11x multiplier is really what got me over the hurdle...well it was the final thing that did at least Enabling the Vcore offset made a huge difference as well, I run cooler now with my Vcore set to 1.3875 and Vcore offset enabled than when I just had my Vcore set at 1.45 and I am getting an actual 1.488v; I have no idea why though. With the 11x multiplier before I introduced my memory settings I was able to get a CPU clock of 11x281 for 3.091ghz stable in Prime 95 for 15 minutes without changing my voltage, I am confident with a little more tuning I could have stabilized something over 3.1ghz.

I was extremely overwhelmed and frustrated when at first I couldn't get any stability past 2.9ghz and was trying to learn all this new terminology (ugh I hate whoever came up with the HT, HTT thing) after being stuck in the stone age with my old socket 478 P4 and Abit IS7. I appreciate all the help you guys gave me, it was definitely all worth a 4-5 day investment of time and some lost hair :)

Shouldn't HTT be at or below 1000? Are you running Orthos stability testing for this OC?

I have heard conflicting stories regarding the HTT, somewhere I heard that on this board it will be stable up to 1500, and in my admittedly limited experience that seems to be the case. And yes I have been using dual instances of Orthos Prime 95, dual Super Pi, and Memtest to check initial stability throughout the entire OC process and since settling on my final speeds have ran dual Orthos Prime 95 instances for 26 hours with 100% stability :)
