Hey vasgto, welcome to this (yes) long thread, almost reaching 100 pages. What a feat, hum?!
Hopefully you're board is not defective. How far can you go on your board? Some people get near the 500 mark with theirs, not sure if this is too low for you. These boards aren't as tweaked as, for example, Asus boards that can go higher in FSB. Still, it's a great board IMHO, you just need to know it well enough and go gently, it's like a woman (more a lady really).
When you check CPUZ, is it not throttled down in idle state? The voltage would drop. Try running compute intensive tasks at the same and also check the multiplier and see if it's showing the rated value or a lower one.
Give me info on your system and oc results.
