More Information

I've got an ASUS M2npv-vm, one of the *****iest boards out there. Even at 2.333GHz from 2.200 Ghz ORTHOS errors after about 5 mins. It doesn't even have an HTT multi option for Overclocking. I got the HTT problem BIOS modded, so I'm at 3x HTT multi, but I'm still not stable.
Any Idea what's going on?
I think things are pointing to my RAM, which is
Corsair DDR2 533 ValueRAM
I've tried running it as slow as 6-6-6-18-26, but even then it's not stable at 2333Mhz.
Even at this AND DDR2 400 Divider + 1.9v, still no dice.
My BIOS has no higher RAM options...

Probably should be in the overclocking section, but anyway, have you tried running the CPU only test in orthos, or just the blend test?

Running the cpu test will tell you if it has anything to do with the cpu. If it fails that, then your voltage is probably too low. If it passes that but fails the blend test, then your memory isn't running at full specs.

No, voltages are not too low. The 4200+ F2s can hit 2.6/2.7 easy at stock.
