Aha ok, so on k8 systems the mem frequency was reduced to stabilize the imc at lower voltages.
I tried AOD from the gigabyte site, i can change the core multiplieres and ram settings all other tuning options do not work, so i can not modifiy p-states that way.
Did phenom reduce the nb-multiplier and the nb-speed in CnQ mode with any of the bioses u used?

Yeah, saw your post on that other thread after writingmy answer.
That is better that here, took me the whole day to get from 222 to 224, the day before i made my way from 200 up to 222 again. It runs prime95 for an hour without probs at 224. If i put 0,025V more on volts on the cpu with those settings, the system eighter freezes or powers off after ~5min prime95 (always a few seconds after the second test starts).
