Problems OCing my Opty <-Problems Solved now check out my OC

[TheRyuu]

I recently (and finally) put together my new computer (yerterday) and its running great. There are some problems though and would like some help

First off, I have the Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe Motherboard. It's kickass and is suppose to get great OCing results that I can't seem to do.

System Specs:
Opty 175
Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe Mobo
2GB OCZ Plat. EB (Inferion Chips) DDR500
2x7800GT's in SLI (with VF-700 on each)
X-fi Sound Card Squeezed between the tow GT's (literally squeezed, had to bend capacitor to make it fit...a lot).

Alright, here is my problem. I can't seem to get to adjust the RAM speed. No matter what I do it seems to be stuck on some crappy ratio (not even a good one) and is running at 140mhz, far less that what it should be.

Second, my mobo won't post if my FSB is over 220. I try lowering HHT, Upping voltage, maby I'm just stupid and doing something wrong. This is my first venture into OCing and I hope it's a good one.

Thanks for help

UPDATE:
After using that "Quick and Dirty" Ocing Guide, I now have my processor at 260x10 (2600mhz) and it's stable at stock voltage. Well, if you consider a couple minutes with prime to be stable, hell, I just wanna game, if it crashes then I know it's not stable. I figure, I'll play now and prime later (like when I sleep).

So do all my settings look good?

BIOS flash.. is the first thing that comes up in my mind.

I did that already. I know that i'm just being stupid and am missing a dam settting or something. I can't seem to find the FSB/RAM Ratio settings. I want to make it 1:1 but I just can't find it.

omg i'm having the same problem. ANd the ididot thing was it was running at 2.8 before and one day when i turn up, it got reset to default and i dont know the rumbers to run it back. And now if it is past 2.2, there is a like a registry error

btw, mine is the 146

Hey, about me not being able to overclock...well it's not true. (at least not anymore)

I read that Quick and Diry Overclocking Guide and that REALLY, REALLY helped. I'm going up 5mhz at a time and I'm on 245x10. I'm still going up and I'm still on stock voltage. I also got me RAM running 1:1 with my HTT. The mobo has a really weird way of doing ram dividers. Some how setting the speed to 200mhz is 1:1? Burned in for 12hours overnigh at 240x10 and it was completely stable (to be expected of cousre at that "low" speed)

Ya know, 260x10, my RAM timings, voltage, that kind of thing.

And the stuff you can't see is HHT is at 3x, Not that I really could run it at 4x, but running it at 3x doesn't decrease performance right?
