How high have you gone with your voltages Akbar? I know I have only had to up my voltages on the RAM from 2.6 to 2.7 to get my overclock, but I also have NEVER been able to run at 1T, since I am using 2 sticks of RAM. Is it possible you may need to up your RAM voltages more?
Well, I've tried all the way up to 2.9 V. My ram is supposed rated for 2-3-3-8 1T @ 233 on 2.8V which I've never been able to achieve. I spoke with OCZ and they said that I could RMA the memory, but I'm starting to believe that it may be a bios problem I can get 1T with the first beta bios now at 2.35 GHz but I have to use 2.5-3-3-8, nothing in CAS 2 works! I'll probably RMA my ram, if that isn't the problem, I guess we should contact Chaintech and make them aware that their bios does not like low latency ram!
EDIT: BTW- what port do you have your SATA drive on? Are all of them locked?
I run a SATA RAID 0 array using SATA ports 1 and 2. They are DEFINITELY locked. I have heard (from others) that ports 3 and 4 are locked as well, but I have not tried them myself (no need yet).
As for the RAM, I am not sure what is up with that. I cannot get 1T (because I use 4 sticks), but I AM running my 4 sticks of RAM at 2T at 2-3-2-10, which seems to work very well for me.
