overclocking FP-IN9 with E2180

[EntropicEffect]

PSU = Seasonic S12 650
Mobo = abit FP-IN9, bios 15
Proc = E2180, Dual Core
Cooler = Noctura
Mem = 4GB (2x2GB PC2-6400C5 800MHz Black Dragon DDR2) 5-5-5-18
Vid = 8800 GTX
HDD = 500GB SATA

Working defaults:
FSB 800 (200)
Multiplier 10X (max multiplier, which doesn't seem right to me)
Memory ratio either Sync or 1:1

I have to be doing something stupid… I have tweaked every last setting in the bios, increasing the voltages way up and all to no avail. I can lower the multiplier, up the FSB to something less than a core speed of 2000, and it will not boot. At this point, I am not excessively concerned with voltages yet, though because no matter what I try, I cannot up the FSB, not even by 1. Please tell me this is a PEBKAC situation that can be easily rectified. (Other than telling me I shoulda stuck with Asus…)

Hiya
I have a similar problem with my E2160 with Xms2 6400 with that with bios 15 it would hardly overclock
with this bios i had better results with bio versions 12 and 13

when i buy my board fp in9 i was having the same problem and know i have my e2160 with 3.1ghz not in max yet ;] the key is to put the memorys clocks all manual..the save and restard then put your fsb at your mercy...
