Ok, here's what I got so far. Since I've had the 9600BE I've been able to OC to 2.7Ghz Stable at 1.262 coreVID(thats what it reads out as on CPUz, Coretemp, AOD, Everest) for everything, except for about.....35% of the time after rebooting, when I try and start Coretemp, or Everest to monitor temps it will lock/refuse to load the programs. I could still move the mouse around and manipulate some things, so not a hard lock. That was under Bios 1.2, decided to go to 1.13 to get away from the TLB fix. After going back down to 1.13 this behavior didn't change. So I decided to knock it down to 2.5Ghz at 1.25v coreVID. Rock solid stable while running at 2.5Ghz with that coreVID setting.

Even running at 2.7Ghz the cpu temp never went above 40c full load on all four cores according to Everest or CPUID HWMonitor.

What speed do you think I should be able to hit under a good bios? Ideally, I want to run at either 2.6Ghz or 2.8Ghz, with the NB running at or close to the same speed as the cores. Right now I'm running at 2.0 on the NB, but other than windows being silly I've had it running at 2.4 through the bios without much issue.

I've been thinking about upping the NB again to 2.4, but then I'd have to reinstall windows, since from my findings, thats the AMD equivalent of upping the FSB on an Intel processor by a large jump, when it comes to windows install bugging out.

I haven't tried messing with the HT Ref clock at all yet.

Note that these speeds are being achieved with Cool and Quiet enabled in bios. My specs are in my sig. I want to get as much performance out of this as I can.

And does anyone have access to an newer bios's that would be better than 1.13?
