Usually, this mobo hits a wall around 260 to 265 fsb, it is very rare that it works higher than that. You may have hit the wall. What is the highest fsb that you achieved?
Are you running memory at 1:1 1T?
260x10 should be ok specially if you are running at 2T and memory at 166, that is at 217mhz at this setup.

What do you guys think of my system (Not completely running yet)

Have any ideas why this board hit's the wall at 260-265? I've searched all over the internet for some ideas. I'd like to try something but not sure exactly where the problem is with this board. Like I've said earlier, if I boot from a utility cdrom with prime, I can run at 280 with no problems. However, with Windows I'm limited by the 260 wall.

It seems related to the bios not being tweeked to the memories, i have tried mostly every bios possible from 1008 to the latest 1012. They are all limited about at the same value. I have two of these boards, both are about the same. The first limited at 259 and the second at 262. I have tried many type of memories, the best seems to be the ocz pc3200 platinum rev. 2.0.
In theory, it should be able to hit at least 289fsb according to asus and some reviewers, but i never could go this high.

If you have an winchester you must use BIOSes newer than 1007. Have you locked the PCI/AGP frequency (to 33/66). The locks are not enabled automatically so you have to manually enable them from the BIOS.
What cpu have you got?
First make sure that agp is at 66 in the bios.
Back the divider of your cpu by one. (ex:3200+ =9: 3500+ =10 etc)
If your memory can take 240 at 1:1, set the memory voltage at 2,7 volts, if not keep it at auto.
If your memory can work at 240 1:1 set to looser timings in the bios ex: 3,3,3,10, and set the memory at limit in the bios, if not leave everything at auto.
Put the cpu voltage at 2.50 volts to start and the fsb at 200.
Then, enter windows, with clock generator, slowly bring the fsb up, you will automatically see if the locks are working in clock gen.
You can test every setup with superpi to finally find the highest working fsb of your system.

i have got a a64 3500+ 0.13 non caa2c
the agp is set to 66.
now i have the 1005.021 and it seems to be ok. a can hit ~280.
may be i will buy the ocz booster to my bh5
The OCZ Booster is a gamble on this board. On my board it won;t work at more than 2.7v, making it quite useless. On some boards it got to 3.0v, but that's not quite enough for BH5 as well.
i want 3v to do ~235 at 2-2-2-5. can i hit this with this voltage???
maybe .. maybe not... with 2.7v my UTT BH chips got to 440 2-3-2-5-1T. I couldn't use 2-2-2-5-1T as I would get tons of memtest errors.
any1 tested A8V1011 bios??
Damn i had this board working like a charm 300x9 with the default bios (1008.something) i flashed to 1011 to try it out and this all messed up...
Now i already tried 1008 1009 1012 and all of then detect the fans running half the speed they should be... Weird stuff... Also with the original bios i could run my mem 2-2-2-5 1T @ 2.7 now even with 2.8 i can't run 2-2-2-5 1T ! (My ram is CH-5 most likely...)
People say that the 1010.003 is the best bios for this... but i don't even find it on the net... Can anyone with it post a link ?
3DMark01 / CPU-Z Suicide Shot / Super_Pi 32Mb / DFI Max HTT (Still Testing) / F.E.A.R Bench / 3DMark05 DFI LanParty UT nF4 Ultra-D / Venice 3000+ @ 2700Mhz / Mushkin LVL2 BH-5 / XFX 6800GS xXx
God_lx, are you doing anything special (besides using 1008 bios) that enabled you to hit the 300x9 rate? Any key setting or mod you may have done?
Thanks

Try this link : http://a8v.aoxclan.com/ .. you'll fin all the BIOSes up to 1011.007
I have bought a second a8v just for testing. With this new board, there seems not to have any wall. I can easely set this board at 300*8 and even 310*8 using clockgen. I am only limited by my cpu maximum clock which is 2520 at 1.45 volts. I am now using 250*10 with my memory at 1:1 2.5-3-3-7 1T with absolutely no problems. This new board came with the 1010.003 BIOS. I am certainly not going to try another one.

yeah my first A8V Deluxe stuffed on me ... my fault though my water cooling went all over the agp slot ... it's a shame ppl seem to lock up at around 250-260 ... I can get into windows at 295*9 ... now all I need is RAMS that run 2:1(DRR400) ... any suggestions ??
I am using ocz platinum rev. 2.0 and this ram will run at 2.7 volts timing 2.5-3-3-5 1T at 250fsb (DDR500) with this mobo which is great.

wow that's great ... but can you what timings can you hit 295 with ?? I was thinking of getting the OCZ Platinum EL 4800 ...
My ram is at 248*2 at 310*8 timings 2.5-3-3-5 1T at 2.7 volts. The maximum that i can hit at 2.7 volts (it does not even boot at 2.8 volts) is 255*2 at this same timing.
I just checked on OCZ site and the ram you want to buy (plat EL 4800) will obtain 4800 at 2T only and with at least 2.85 volts, so on a8v mobo, i do not know how it will perform since 2.8 volts is the maximum voltage available.
Be carefull, if you can try before bying this would be a good idea.

yeah ... you put me off a little ... LOL ... so now I'm getting Corsair TwinX1024-4400C2.5 ... it can go 610 at 1T ... well that's what the guys at anandtech say anyways ...
i can go only even 275~280
rev2 with no locks

It seems like I am unable to obtain 1T with samsung tcc4 ram at all, even when I set it to ddr333 speed. I did disable 2T command in bios
What BIOS version are you using ? For BIOSes newer than 1010.003 I have to set 1T Command Rate from A64 Tweaker. Disabling 2T Command in BIOS does absolutely nothing. I tried it with some Winbond UTT, Samsung TCC, Transcend Jetram and some Hynix D43. With all of them the same result : the BIOS refuses to enable 1T Command Rate.
