superpyton: Thanks man, changing the IMC clock in P-States and then shutting down for 30 secs does reset the NB multi, big help!

villa1n: I've been playing with this board a little more tonight and I have a few more observations for ya... I'm running it on a bench, so I can do the finger test on most components (call me Old School, but I've always found this to be reliable )...

In "Voltage Control" upping the Chipset and HT V's to 1.5v seems to help stability quite a bit and neither one of them get hot to the touch (I'm NOT running IGP though, so watch that, it may make a difference on the NBchip if you are!)...

Like I said before, my 9850BE is old and pretty weak, but I did manage to get it stable at 3.0Ghz/2200NB and 1066 Memory, so the board is capable even though it's very squirley compared to other boards..

I pushed MAX HTRef tonight with everything else lowered, and 235 was the best I could get (may be my chip), but the board didn't seem to heat up too much other than the PWM section.. If there is a weak part to this board that would be it, even after my mods and the fan on top of the FET's that section still got toasty, especially the chokes.

Good luck man... Hope this helps a little...
