damn i have the same cpu and board..... GIVE ME YOUR SETTINGS LOL!
Make sure you disable all enhanced CPU features. (Speed Step, C1E, TM2...) Also set your PCI freq to 100. Here are my Bios settings: (running 2.2v on the RAM and 1.5v on the CPU) (http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/414/img0898gt0.jpg)

I dont understand how you guys get away with such low voltages. Nearly all the 6850 on OC forums are 1.55+

I have the same exact. (2x1gb) You can run it at 2.2v without voiding your warranty. I saw some reviews online where it performed better than the ocz 8500 when overclocked. I haven't had much luck getting my settings any tighter than 4-4-4-12.
Btw, how do you like Vista x64?

Btw, I enabled Speed Step, C1E, TM2 since they weren't affecting the oc, and help keep the CPU cooler at idle.

ty.. so you only adjust the cpu and ram voltage wtf? btw isnt default ram at 1.8v so that would put you to 2.0?

Actually the mem is supposed to be rated at 2.0-2.1v, but the mobo is detecting it as a 1.8v. (thanks for pointing that out. I didn't bother to check) So I just changed the DDR2 overvolt to +0.4 and the mobo is reading 2.2v. With this I'm able to run the mem at 1000MHz (8x500 instead of 9x446) Sweet.
