When I have more time I'm going to try to see if I can get 190 to work. From my short testing today anything at BLCK 200 MHz even with CPU V 1.45 and QPI 1.45 ends in immediate freeze within 15-seconds while doing Prime95 SmallFFT test. I think that it might be my processor, memory, or something else in the equation.

I have my own overclocking thread below with the details of the problems I'm having. It might just be my inexperience with overclocking since my last attempt on AMD Opteron 175 2.2 GHz only ended with 2.5 GHz 3D game stable, and 2.75 GHz 2D prime stable.

Hello Jake, i'm seeing that at 180 BCLK 1.25v you are hitting almost 90ºc. I think as you add just a bit more voltage to go over 180 BCLK i think you might just be running the CPU too hot and its shutting down or causing all sorts instability. What do you say?
