A8R-MVP Woes

[Zenzetsu]

hey all, i'm a novice at figuring out memory dividers and after doing some research i'm still lost. Could anyone give me some advice on figuring out how to get my memory's frequency above 125mhz?

Here's my specs along with bios info & pics:

CPU: AMD Opteron 185 Toledo 2.6 (O/C 3.0)
MOBO: A8R-MVP Bios 602
RAM: Corsair Xms DDR3200 (4 X 512MB)
Vid Card: X1800XT (O/C 722/822)
PSU: 450W CoolMaster

Current Bios Settings (Affecting FSB & Mem):

CPU Freq: 250
CPU Multi: X12
HT Link (BIOS): Auto (Reads 500 in CPU-Z)
Processor Volt : 1.4V (Maximum on A8R-MVP)
DDR Volt: 2.85 V (Afraid to go beyond 2.9V)
VCORE Over-Voltage: Enabled
Southbridge Over-Voltage:Enabled

Memclock mode: Limit
Memclock value: 250 mhz
MCT Timing: 2-5-2-2 1T

Update:

(Tweaked A Little)

CPU Freq: 240
CPU Multi: 12.5

(Installed Rest of RAM)
2 GIGS DDR3200 (Operates at 120mhz according to CPU-Z)

Its the AMI's bios that takes alot to get used to.

Set your memory limit at 166, not 250mhz. You can only recognize they normal dividers

200 1:1
166 5/6
133 2/3


If you want to run ddr500 (you have ddr 500 memory) limit your memory to 200, and set the FSB to 250. Limited at 200 its a 1:1, memory speeds will read the same as the FSB.

2nd. Your HTT is way off. Its again the bio's settings. But in the bio's its 1k=5, 800=4, 600=3. Take it off auto if you plan to OC. I'm running 311 FSB w/ HT link set at x4 given me HT link speeds of 1244mhz. Your is way too slow.

Link is for the AR32-Mvp which I have, so things might vary some...but should give you a good idea of working in the AMI bios
