I seem to have hit a wall overclocking the Corsair 2GB DDR3 DHX 1333C9DHX TwinX memory.

I cant pass the test on Orthos "Test some ram" above 368 FSB however the stress test on the CPU runs for hours up to 380 FSB...

I would like to hit 1500mhz on the ram but just cant get it to pass the Othos ram test above 1472mhz (368 FSB)
Ram timings are 9-9-9-15 +0.20 volts

Any higher on the timings or lower and it wont post, also cant get the voltage any higher.

Reviews I have read seem to reach 1600mhz for this ram with tighter timings :(

Any one else have any experiance with this ram and any tips?

E6700 , Gigabyte P35t-DQ6 F2 bios

Tried increasing the FSB, northbridge and CPU voltages a fair bit but keep failing on the memory test.

The only thing I can think of is that it might be some conflict with the motherboard. Have you checked the gigabyte forums to see if people with the same model are having similar problems? If it's not that, there's always the possibility that you just got a not-so-hot set of modules.
