MWAHAHAHAHA
Had to crash last night about 2 AM but think I have the softclocking issue fixed.  The motherboard comes with a built in keyboard "EVBot" so to speak.  Using that works flawlessly 
 
 
I pulled the LCD poster off thinking maybe that was the issue, broke a wire on it of course.  Found more info about Tweakit and had to reattach it 
 
 
Of course in disconnecting it I also broke one of the wires. (I do that all the time on these little ass connectors ARGH) so stripped hte wire a bit.. placed it in a spade bit and jammed on of the spade bit terminals into the socket.  Good as used 
 
Hitting the shower and doing some house stuff.  I expect to be crossing the 4 GHz mark here in about 45 minutes
