What do you mean chipset voltage is to high? Which setting? If you mean CPU-NB Voltage I set it the same as CPU Vid as suggested by DFI Engineers and have yet to have a issue. Also I find since doig that I was able to kick it down 1 notch with CPU Core

If you can go down with the cpu voltage after you upped the nb voltage it will fail, but after a longer time. That's what i found with the 9500 on the M3A. NB and CPU voltages operate completely independant, assuming that the cpu temperature does not exceed 60°C.

I have no clue why DFI-Engineers recommend the same settings for CPU-VID and NB-VID. I mean that is the benefit from split power planes. In CnQ if the cpu enters p-state-1 the cpu voltage will drop to 1.05V and the frequency to the half of the stock frequency, while the NB stays at stock frequency and voltage.For 2GHz NB-frequency my 9850BE required 1.175V NB-VID.

But I talked about the four SB/NB ... Voltages at the bottom of the PWM page. My system ran perfectly stable with all those at the lowest possible values, but i have a not so power consuming hd2600xt here.

@Jimmy411: Hmm how (un)usable AOD is (with the DFI board) was posted here a few times. It does not read the correct actual values and applies stock voltages to the cpu and the memory, that causes system hangup's if your already bios tweaked system does not run at those voltages.
You can enable some AutoXPress features via red-button mode whom can not be tweaked via the bios. Also you can easily modify single cpu multis with aod. Otherwise you'd need to tweak the p-state registers of the cpu to archieve the same effect. AOD's stability test and auto overclock function both do not find the idle freezing issue many phenom users get here.
Overclocking via the bios is definately more reliable atm.
