i had a nf4 board (p5n32 sli) and i would have my memory stable at 775 being able to reach 800mzh now i can only get to 710 stable am i overlooking something the reason i got a 680i is for the overclocking (and to keep up with times) oh my cpu is the same stable at 4.4 reaching 4.6

The OCZ RAM you got uses Epilida or Promo chips (seems like Promos).
These chips do not OC well at all.
If you wanted to OC your RAM really high then you should of got RAM that uses Micron D9 chips.
Also, the other limiting factor, is it is harder to OC 4GBs than 2GBs.
The reason for that is the 2 x 1GB modules are matching pairs and are pretty much identical to each other.
So now you are matching 2 sets and 1 set might not OC as high.

At 710 what are your timings at?
Also, what were your timings at 775?
Different boards like different timings.
Also, different RAMs like different types of boards and bios.
You might have to relax the timings a bit to get higher.
This will not be a problem with an Intel processor.
Intel processors like higher frequencies (ex: DDR2 775 over DDR2 710). You will get a small boost from that.
However, AMD processors like tighter timings (ex: 4-4-4-12 over 5-5-5-15). From this you will get a nice boost.
