Recently got an XP2600, but it doesn't seem to be very stable when I try to run it at the 333mhz "stock" speed??
Model number is AXDA2600KV3D, so it should run at 333 ??
Should I increase the voltage, or is there something else that I'm missing??
BTW it runs rock solid stable at 266 speeds.

Yep no SktA mobo is certified past 400FSB (2x200) and KT400 are only designed for 333FSB (2x166). So long as your PCI and AGP are at 33 and 66mhz there should be no problem with 333FSB synced operation which is what you are having problems with. Check your RAM is set to run synced to FSB, maybe try setting high timings manually and check the RAM voltage is correct for your RAM.
Vol9 should be more than fine but be sure you're running the fan fast enough. Compound like the fan isn't going to be the issue if you are able to run around 2.1ghz @ 266FSB (2x133) but do be sure you only applied the tiniest amount no bigger than the core. There is an outside chance it could be the PSU, again if you can run stable around 2.1ghz @ 266FSB then that should rule that out. Your temps certainly seem fine but are there as a rough guide only, they can be totally off depending where you read them from. You see if you drop down to 266FSB without changing multiplier you will only be running 12.5x133=1.6ghz instead of the 2.08ghz it is designed to run at. It could be more to do with some of your parts being unhappy at the higher speed as opposed to the higher FSB. Try what |SilentDeath| suggests.
