I have been reading this and the Overclocking the 9600 BE thread and waiting for a MOD to update my account..

Here is my Phenom 9600 BE story.

I have

k9a2 platinum, Phenom 9600 BE.
I was able to get to 2.7G stable (multiple days of seti, folding, other BOINC stuff, prime95) at 100% processor load.

I am using the msi ver 1.2 bios (I updated from 1.1 but I haven't tried any of the others).

To get to 2.7G I had to up my CPU VID setting to 1.3 volts but that is all.

Now I am running at stock HT ref freq and memory freq (800MHz).

When I try to get the memory to 1066 MHz (I am using 1066 crucial mem) It will not boot.

I will post photos later (I am at work right now).
