OC wall on DFI Ultra-D and OCZ memory

Well, I finally decided to give up four hours of folding and play with some OC.
The memory (OCZ 400, 2 x 1GB) will not go over 230. period. It will run 2-3-2 at 200, 2.5-3-2 up to 215, and 3-4-3 to 230. Even at 4-4-4 it will not pass memtest at 231.

No problem, I can run at 230, or at 9:10 and 260, and so on...
But even when I make sure to change the HTT multiplier my machine woll not load windows at higher ref freq.
I was thinking of running FSB at 300 and memory on a divider to be at 230.
What setting have I missed??

If I try to raise voltage on the chipset the board will not even try to boot. At least that is one less thing to play with.

    Could you post your full system specifications?

    Are you using all four of the onboard power connectors? That can make a big difference.

    What overall CPU clockspeed are you looking to acheive? it is generally best to use the highest multiplier you can in order to keep the reference clock low (especially since you'll be running your memory on a divider anyway).

    The CPU multi is 10. (64X2 +3800)
    Antec Smartpower 2 PSU (400W)

    No, I missed a power connection. Four, I can't count that high. I'll fix it.

    The OCZ memory, a Saphire X800GTO2 , single Seagate 7200.9 SATA drive, all pluged into an Ultra-D mobo.

    I'll fix the power and tray to tweek a bit more.
    I'll post back later. Thanks LL
