Nope, oc instability.

i've tried vid = 40 ,41 and 42. strangely it doesnt like odd numbers.
I've no idea how you've manged to manipulate CPU VID. It should be locked and it was for mine. It controls core amps AFAIK, and high value is lower.

Stock 9500 is 28 = 1.25V/1.2V
Lower value is higher VID.

Don't have the exact mapping with me here since I can't access the HD they're on. 29 is something like 1.168.

i know it isnt AOD because for this system i never installed AOD because i felt that it was too problematic for me.
The new BETA is very good.

my settings for 235x11.

BIOS CPU volts =1.545

P states=
cpu fid = 6 (x11)
cpu did = 0 (1 )
cpu vid = 042

nbfid = 04 (x8)
nb did = 0 (1)
nb vid = 042
Firstly, I highly doubt you need the highest volts for 2.5GHz. You need to drop NB multi to 5x (00) and then start oc'ing. Bootup at 225HT ref. It should get to ~2.6GHz through AOD with 1.4V stable.

Try 240 HT ref. through the latest AOD and if that doesn't work, then through the BIOS whilst having low NB and HT.

Secondly, your NB/CPU DID options are different to mine. Mine were 1 and 2, rather than 0 and 1.

Thirdly, you're running lower VIDs than stock on both NB and CPU. That will give you bad stability even if it boots. Put them back to stock or lower if you can, i.e. CPU 28 and NB 36, or lower because that's higher VID=better possible OC.

another thing is, i tried to set a NB multi of 7 by using NB fid = 10(14) and nb did = 1 (2) so the resulting multi is 7. but it doesnt work at all. but nevermind.
You'll have to expereiment why. I don't have it to try at all. Maybe it's because of the Mem speed.
