My reply from yesterday got lost somehow.

So clocks can be modified via MSR registers too. Great, I though it must be done with i2c/smbus.

Will use the ITK/VTK toolkits together with CT's from the visible human project. So it will be platform indepenent and open source.

K10 oc doesn't seem temperature limited at all, so whether you try the stock fan or a 250W TDP CoolIT freezone Elite, it doesn't seem to enhance the oc in any way from my experience and observations.
Ordered the Big Typhoon, seems to have the best cooling results with ot so high temps.
