thanks for the info gotvoltage, although i'm not sure i fully understand you.

My X3's 4th core does work successfully, therefore what i want is all 4 cores running at 3.5+, and that seems very reasonable to me (i know my chip can run at that from my windows based overclocking, but i want to set it in my bios so i can just leave it there 24/7 regardless of what software i change).

i have it set to Hybrid mode, right now i have the ACC set to Auto, if i change it to "per core," i still can't adjust the CPU voltage.
