1600 (OC) means you need to overclock the ram to that speed, it will not run at 1600Mhz by default. AM3 CPU's are limited to 1333MHZ... The first thing you need to do is set the correct timings and voltage before you do anything. After that you can faise the FSB for RAM and CPU overclocking....

You need to set your RAM frequency as it appears here :

nomally default will be 533 = 1066 , so you need to change it to 667 = 1333

Try running it at x6 = 1333Mhz and test 1 stick at a time using memtest.

Will this be a good build to overclock 2500k to 5.0GHz?

I'm the one that told him that a Silver Arrow will get to 5Ghz, so I'll take the blame...
