Well right now im using the A4 to overclock my 1.6a at 2.632Ghz. After I get my watersystem filled again im going to try out the 9x Bios again. I also have the volt mod on it too increasing default to 1.7 and the max i can get is 1.85 in bios which is 1.8 in windows. Also with the volt mod it acutally makes the voltage more stable from what i've seen so far. Right now my board its at 162 FSB for CPU and 216 for RAM.

Hmm..MrN bios for the IT7 is the 8Z, no? as i know 9X is for BD7-II...

Well if it was for the BD7-II I must be lucky because it was running on my comp. Didn't help at all with OC so i put the A4 back.

Yes i do have to say be careful with the A4 when installing. Didn't have the ablitity to use mouse and keyboard. Until i fixed it which happened to be rolling the drivers back. But now windows reconizes the USB 2.0 hubs so its all good now.
 
The 9x has some extra pci/agp divider options, and i think some more vmem options. i like the dividers.. :)
