You can also control this with the AOD CPU Vcore slider (this is not the CPU VID slider).

So lets assume your VID=1.200V (CPU VID=28), then the Vcore setting starts at 1.200V (AUTO) and you can go up from there.

the "NB Voltage" item in the MSI BIOS is NOT for the CPU NB voltage rail but for the 790FX Chipset (which doesnt need any extra voltage because is the OVCK champ!). So there is usually no need to touch this item.

TLB bug is one thing and CPU / CPU NB clocking is another thing. Not directly connected. In order to OVCK the CPU NB you might need increase the voltage. Just like with CPU core.

And Phenom 9500 is set to 1.200V by default because that is the default voltage. MaxVID=1.2500V.
Thanks. Yep, I can normally reach my max on stock volts TBH. I've noticed if you set 1.4V VCore in BIOS by the time I boot up, AOD lets me crank it up to 1.946V
But it runs too hot past ~1.56 to try that for me.

How's that brother?

No reboot or anything. Just had to lower it back down quick because my hard drive starts giving errors.
