Yeah, I don't know what exactly the problem is, however my MSI K9A2 Platinum (790FX + SB600) is even worse than AM2NF3-VSTA. For overcloking K8 it is perfect... even can run 1T command rate, which is not very common for DDR2. But 65nm K10 is just terrible on it. On the other hand Phenom II X4 BE overclocks fine.

My GA-790FX-DQ6 board (790FX + SB600) is fine on Phenom I CPU's :

Phenom I x4 have trouble going over 3GHz mark on SB600 chipsets because latter don't support ACC.
Also, x4's are TERRIBLE clockers in general, motherboard or not - they simply don't "like" high clocks.
Not to metion they get really HOT after OC.
