Overclocking problem. Need help

[oceansong]

Hello all!
Im new here. Just want to say these forums kick arse!

I am having an issue with my new system(first build ever). My parts are in my sig. I got everything up and running at stock settings. It runs like a champ. I ran memtest overnight and all test pass. I ran 3dmark05 and scored a 7500+. I figured everything was good to go to start OC'ing. This is where my noobness is kicking in. I have prowled the forums looking for answers but I am having no luck so I figured I would go ahead and post my problem. Once again, sorry if my Oc'ing noobness annoys anyone.
I read the Oc'ing guide and did the following. I set the Htt to 3x and memory to 166 and started upping the cpu frequency. I also set the memory to 1t. I can get to 205 and anything above that will not post. It tells me that the system is operating in safe mode and that I need to change the cpu frequency. I have all other settings set to auto (cpu and mem volt also). Am I doing something wrong? Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Thanks a bunch

Set your LDT to 800, and the command rate at 2T. I have no problem running the cpu at 250 with these settings. You can try 166 for memory, or bump the voltage and go for 200.

From what I have read LDT is the same thing as HT Frequency. Right? If it is, I set it to 4x and put my memroy timing back to 2t. I still get the same results. : (

Anyone else know what I might be doing wrong?
