Why won't it go further? XP3000 on the edge...

[Ultima]

My XP3000+ runs at 33C idle, and under full load I come around 37-38C.

But when I clock it up to 2.4Ghz, it'll do 40C idle and about 45-46C full load.

This is so cool, because I think it is my motherboard that is holding me back.

I can set my speed from 2.0Ghz to 2.4Ghz with raising just 0.025V vcore.
Anything above 2.4Ghz it refuses to boot.

It is btw the 400Mhz version of the XP3000+ And I use a thermalright SLK-900A with AS5 to cool it.
Also have 4 case fans creating a nice windy case.

My setup is as follows:

Asus A7N8X
XP3000+ @ 2400Mhz
512Mb PC3200
Radeon 9800 NP @ Pro speeds
WD 120Gb ATA133 7200rpm
Samsung 16x dvd player
NEC 4x dvd writer

Can any1 tell me why I can't clock even 1Mhz higher then 2400Mhz?? Thanks in advance

The whole XP line tends to crap out at about 2.4gig with air cooling unless you're talking real top of the line.
