Its very hard to say that this and that will get you that high OC.

I can do a guide on that if its requested or needed. It was not easy for me to figure out and took a long time, but keeping at it testing this and that to see how things work paid off in the end.

I may do things the hard way but it ends up pretty darn stable.

Give me some time and I will do a write up.
Well I only have that one bitch. I have seen the NB as a limiting factor when all else is eliminated. The NB is the issue I have with my 7750, I like to lower the multi (wont work on 7750) and not put unnecessary v to it when not needed. I hate the heat gains.

My 905 is great as I can adjust everything.

Oh yah, I have yet to play with DQS settings, adjusting skew however made a huge improvement OCing my AMD chips.

Guess I will have to sit down and learn the right DQS settings for my 920, see if I can get an extra 100 MHz or so out of her

WOW. Very nice What adjustments you have to make for 300 HTREF

Also have you tried unlocking the L3 cache yet?

I will be taking a 2nd look at this CPU with a AM3 setup and 2 gigs DDR3 1333 memory Vista 32, I will be using 2 Gig's because of better stability.

My test results will be Posted @ tR as usual and then I will post some here afterward.

Test will be done on the following:

MSI 785GM-E65 AM3 AMD 785G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - 140W CPU Capable, 1Gb DDR3 SidePort Memory, Easy OC switch

G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL8D-2GBHK - Retail

Vista 32

I will post a link to the new testing when complete.
