increase the voltage to cpu... below 1.45v should be safe.. back down the memory speed/timings.. stabilize the cpu at your desired speed first before increasing ram speed.. increase ram voltage as well... dont exceed 2.2v

fsb:dram .. 1:1.. would be 280:280(560MHz).. if your RAM speed is at 1120MHz.. then you are running at 1:2 ratio.. 280:560(1120MHz)

your present ram ratio is too high.. not at 1:1.. but at 1:2 as I pointed out. FSB beyond 333MHz is possible.. worst to the worst increase the multiplier to 11 or 12...

p.s. I am running my qx6700 at 370MHz FSB.. aiming to go beyond 400MHz on a P965 DS4

Multipler is there for intel to set to mark on their processor speed for the market according to the grade of the processors based on stable default speed at a certain voltage.

QX6700 and all the extreme processors are unique in that you are free to set the multiplier to that u desire.

Your problem is most likely that you are pushing your RAMs too hard, When you get a stable cpu speed at 1:1 you can adjust the ratio to 2:3 or 4:5 so that your RAMs would be at 1000MHz or so.. adjust the RAM timings (5/5/5/18..6/6/6/24.. 4/5/5/18 etc..5/6/6/20) and voltage accordingly(up to 2.2 would be ok)

If 280 fsb is all you can do the by all means increase the multiple to 11.. that would bring the cpu to 3.08GHz. I reach 370 by dropping my multipler to 9.. to get to 400 and beyond I may have to drop to 8 or 7, all the while keeping the cpu vcore within 10% the default voltage. There is also chipset/FSB/bus voltages to consider. Increase FSB speed would be better than multipler increase is because it increases bandwithwidth for more data feeding the 4 cores.
