I think I got the totally opposite of a golden chip. No matter how I overclock the chip, it will be unstable at all time. Increasing voltage doesn't help at all. Instead it crashes easier.
Is it because of my AMD 965 BE C2 sucks? or rest of the components suck too much to overclock?
Sounds like you need to mess with the settings (Like Try Disabling C1E, And Cool n' Quiet). Then try OCing. If that doesn't help, well you got one hella crappy chip. I got a crap X2 550 BE. Won't unlock, and needs 1.55V's to get to 4Ghz.
I can run it @ 3.95Ghz @ 1.472V'sm but 4Ghz needs a TON MORE.

Whoa 1.55V! How high voltage can AMD 965 BE handle? I remember AMD 965 BE doesn't like high voltage.
I'll try it right now, disable C1E and CnQ, then bump multiplier to 18x.
Phenom II's love voltage, they just hate heat. Looking at your board, it lacks necessary cooling on the Mofsets
I wouldn't try to push voltages just to be on the safe side, but other then that, I don't see any reason even a horrible C2 unlocked chip shouldn't be able to at least go higher then stock. I've gotten a 945 C2 up to 3.9 without breaking 1.55v, there must be something wrong in your settings. Possible BIOS screenshot before and after trying for 3.6?
You're having problems running this processor because this processor is NOT SUPPORTED on your board.
Due to a weak 4+1 unheatsinked VRM setup with low overall quality and other problems, the BIOS was not updated for 140W CPUs at all. Probably for good reason too - this design is known for problems.
You need a new board to properly run that 140W beast.

For some reason, after I took out the lower clocked RAM(OCZ3P1333LV2G), I am able to put 18.5x multiplier and running Prime95 blend right now. It will probably fail, but it's interesting to see. If it doesn't fail, then I will be shocked! My computer is super slow right now running with 2gb RAM @ 1333Mhz(OCZ3P1600LV2G).
I set my CPU voltage at 1.475V, NB CPU at 1.350V, and ram at 1.650V.
I'm not sure what do you mean maximum voltages available. Like the highest voltage for AMD 965 BE is 1.5V. Highest voltage for my NB CPU is 1.400V. I think ram is 1.650V.
I had a bad overclock and bsod. My windows is corrupted and somehow I can't reinstall as well. It gets stuck on starting Windows screen on installation.
Edit: Nvm, installation is working now. Just have to wait and reinstall.
Update: I found out my pwer supplies is actually going bad. Can that be a reason why I can't overclock at all?
