Can anyone throw some light on this mess for me?

Btw, whatever speed it's at, it's stable... Not sure if that's a good thing really.
You're getting bugged reports because you set the NB multiplier too high (13x) which is not supported. Decrease it down to 9x or lower and you'll get proper 2.62G CPU, 2.053G NB readings.

That CPU is most likely running 2.622G but the NB is running 2G. Also drop NB core volts down to stock, you don't need them as those are not the IMC volts.

VIDs->volts is a feature on Phenoms as it was with K8 too.

I identified the chips and the relevant pins, just gonna find the resistances connected to those pins. The only issue is that area is infinitesimal in size. Can't follow the conducting paths with the eyes and the camera I have is also not high res enough.
Guess I can not measure resistances with the old osciloscope I have.
That's the problem. The area is too tight once you have a cooler there, I can't even get a probe through because of the heatpipes and by using DMM you will no doubt short the MOSFETs around and shutdown the system. I would mod it and throw out a guide to if I ws keeping it but I'm not keeping this system. I'm planning to sell it soon, possibly in 7-14 days.

Do you have in mind which AMD document shows the pin assignment of the phenom cpu's?
Same as AM2 CPUs, pin for pin compatible.

BTW: My mobo has unganged settings in the bios (can be unhidden by hitting F4) so I can run everest benches in unanged mode for comparison here, but they will be lower than the ganged mode results. Most of your expamples in this thread use cpu frequencies i can not reach with my bios limiting vcore so i'd be happy if you could run everest at stock just for mobo clock per clock and timing by timing comparison.
Can you give me timings to run? Is 200x11 2200/1800/800 4-4-4-4 1T OK?

Master does not sound bad, but i'm heading for guru state of mind.
