9500 was 268 HT ref. max bootup, 270 HT ref. max with AOD and 265 HT ref maximum at 10x multi stable.
The BIOS I'm testing is "not so good" so things are a little iffy. For instance I cannot know if its my RAM making it reboot, my NB or just the CPU (RAM/NB cannot go lower than stock 1066 and 9x with this BIOS)

9600BE;
Max so far booted at low HT/CPU multi is 220HT ref. (9x NB multi though)
Max so far booted at stock CPU/NB/HT multi is 206HT ref. (more does not boot fully)
Any more than 220 HT ref. through AOD will freeze/reboot the system (regardless of volts/vid/multi). There definitely seems a limit, I'm not kidding when I say these look like the reject 9900. This one does not go above 2530MHz, from fully stable at >1.25VID 1.32V to instantly totally unstable at <1.5VID 1.48V. This one also hates above 12.5x multi, no boot and instant reboot with AOD.

Max fully stable so far is this: http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=296574

CPU: 2530MHz
NB: 2200MHz
HT: 2200MHz
RAM: 587MHz 5-5-5-15 2T
HT ref: 220MHz

I'm going to run the stability test of that for longer overnight before screening. 1hr passed quite easily at CPU 1.25VID 1.34V.

This is the second one I had fully stable: CPU 2415MHz, NB/HT 2100MHz, RAM 560MHz 5-5-5-15:

thats what week chip I got all my parts are here waiting on a smp unit to finish so I can switch my mobo and stuff out of my main into my secondary.

edit do you care if I post my results KTE?
Do I care? Yes, I do.

Now... quickly post them.
(although try keeping them small in size)

You have the same step BE as mine.
