I'm wondering if it's your CPU holding you back.

I had no problem hitting 270 * 10 @ 1.5v, with 2.5-3-3-8 timings. You could try to bump your DDR Voltage to 3.2, but only if you have adequate cooling, as you seen I have in that review.

You *may* want to try playing around with those new dividers as well.. the ones with the 702 BIOS. I know I had a blast goofing around, but I never actually found any performance benefits.
