Maybe you can get some good info from this thread.. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=208340

And also AOD dont works so well for me... so bios clocking is best.
Thanks for answering. :

I have tried every trick "in the book"... and read all relevant threads I could find (including the one you link to).

Either the CPU or MB has a "HTT-wall". I vote for the latter.

I have not tried any beta-bios, as one of the "AMD-boys" on "diskusjon.no" (norwegian forum) recommend to stay away from beta bios for this MB (he have tried, and he have several MB's and Phenom II)

I will try some other (better) RAM, and maybe get another MB to check whether it is the CPU or DFI MB that is the "show stoppper", as I really had high hopes for my X4 920.

I have been "spoiled" with numerous OC-sessions with Intel Core2/Quad rigs that hits up top 100% OC, in average around 40% I think. The best results in the cheapest rigs.

And maybee I was a "cheapo-boy" choosing to go with 920 instead of the little more expencive 940.
With 940 I would "only" have to increase MP and VCore to get the max... preferably 4Ghz.
