I am having issues booting into Windows 7 x64 with anything higher than 405fsb. I'm stuck at that level no matter what voltage, multiplier, and memory settings I'm using. The bios will post well above that level and it will pass memtest86+ all the way up to 475 using the bios settings below.
Even at 410 I'll see a Windows start up screen and it will immediately go to start up repair. At 405 it boots just fine and it can pass a 24 hour Prime95 stress test.
What's odd is that I was able to get it to boot at 433 even with lower voltages and tighter memory settings. I'm not sure what happened between that time and now. The bios below shows the highest settings I've used to get past the Windows start up screen. The second set of numbers in parenthesis are the old settings that were able to boot at 433.
