Yes, the good 'ol oc'ing ways.

Check SoldnerMofo's thread on his 2.9-3GHz 9500, which has the instructions on using WPCREDIT in the OS to change NB multiplier after rebooting and not booting into the BIOS but directly into the OS. Opening CPUZ will (or should) show the NB speed and the NB multi will be changed.

I wrote a lengthy reply before this but my Fx crashed and I'e lost it with the links, sorry.

I also thinks its the Motheboards too, Im hopping Nvidia 780a will pwn some face and give us more setting to play arround with and not have to pay over $200 a for a freaking Mobo that has 4 PCI-E x16 slots that most of us will never use. I run 8800GTS in SLI. so as long as its got 2 PCI-E im good to go.
Your board lacks Ganged/Unganged mode, split power planes, HT 3.0 and PCIe 2.0 options, right?

*****update
cant go anything higher that 260Mhz on the FSB for a total of 2.85 the Proc seems stable but as soon as I anything thats memory instansive I crash Hard.
Its kinda what I was expecting since the M2n-SLI Deluxe is not the OCers mobo of choise and it was my only choise that I could afford if I wanted to keep SLI go Phenom. 2.8Ghz phenom is fun for me.... for now....
Nb multi?
If you say 9x, then I reckon it'll go higher like with everyone elses who had a 9500/9600.

Any 3dMark06, Cinebench 10, POV-Ray benchmarks at 2.8G?

As for stability, only factory like stability is stable TBH but being able to run benchmarks at an unstable setting is always handy.

Best AM2 MHz I've seen with Phenom yet though.
