Putting the FSB up on EPoX 8K7A+.. won't GO!

For some reason.. I CANNOT put my FSB on my EPoX EP-8K7A board up any! I can't even do 134mhz!

I use the on-board raid.. maybe that is why?

here are the specs.. Yes, a bit to much.. but I copied it from my last complete spec listing.

Thanks!




1.4Ghz Athlon AYHJA @ 1.6Ghz (Very Stable at 58F low, 65F High)

2x 20Gb Maxtor ATA-66 7200RPM RAID-0 (Onboard Raid)

EPoX EP-8K7A+

512MB Samsung cas2 PC2100 DDR

Leadtek GF2 Ultra w/ AOC Low Profile 1U Rackmount CPU Cooler (Copper Heatsink). OC'd From 250Mhz Core, 460Mhz DDR To 300Mhz Core, 500Mhz DDR. (Going Higher when I get Tin coated copper ramsinks)

Digi Doc 5

Maze2-1

172w Peltier on a 24vdc 12.5Amp PSU

360GPH Pump.. I believe I have it set at 320GPH or so.. As running it at full power was to much pressure.. left me with a little drip from the in-take on the water-block. Lowering it just a bit left me dry and no increase in temp. As the waterblock can only take in about 90GPH max anyway.

1 Gallon Resevior which sits on my desk with the pump in it.

My own quick made Baybus for my 120MM Sunon 114CFM Fan and my waterpump. (Water pump is still going through a wall outlet.. I just put one of my AC Power switches on the line)

Ready for some work? Remove everything but the cpu/hsf, ram and video card. Try bumping up the fsb. If it posts and trys to boot, add the hd's. If it posts and then trys to boot, let it go all the way. Then just add ONE component at a time until it fails, then you'll know the part that is holding you back.

 
The culprit seems to be your RAM. Samsung Ram's is well known to be a bad choice for the 8K7A+. The best RAM for this board is crucial.
 
I can't believe that the ram is the problem.. seeing as before I got it up to 160fsb before i had anything plugged in.. Now I can't even put it to 134!! When I had it OC'd before I saw a HUGE difference in the RAID performence.. but it wasn't stable.
