Phenom 9500 w/ MSI K9A2 Platinum

Use Memset to check NB speeds because it works perfectly fine and is a very light and quick app, won't reboot or freeze the system even when it's extremely unstable. When you reach near 2.1G NB, you need to give it more volts for sure. When you then reach 2.2-2.25G NB, you need to feed it even more volts for stability. Had I known this with my Phenom 9500, you'd probably have seen higher clocks, but I didn't. You're welcome BTW.

Well, right after I typed that message my machine got really squirley...

Had to reset CMOS a number of times, even the Insert/Delete combination wouldn't work... I had to set both VIDS back to 24 in order to get it running again.

This is a knee jerk reaction, but it seems like the CPU doesn't like much over 1.25v's... I'll try again, upping the NB only.

Here's an ss of Memset:

Well, moving either one of the VIDS, CPU or NB results in a No Post now...

I tried NB=24/CPU=23, and NB=23/CPU=24, both required a CMOS jumper reset...

Man this thing is wierd!! Just when you think your getting somewhere it kicks ya in the azz.....
