Well its been a LONG time since i messed with AMD and i have some stuff i bought to just try, First off heres what i have.....

Phenom 9500
Gigabyte MA790X-DS4
Crucial DDRII-1066
HD3850
Zalman 8700

Now i cant get this thing to budge? What am i missing? Easytune freezes the comp, overdrive doesnt have the options and anything i move in the bios hangs....

The general AMD forum is good there too-

Make sure you select "advanced" in AoD. It defaults to basic-

In an ideal situation you will be able to locate a BIOS for your motherboard that allows the manipulation of AM2+ P-States. (If it doesn't already) That will allow you to keep you motherboard northbridge speed @ or below 2k. KTE talks about it in the linked thread. X-bit talks about it here too-
