Did you check the bottom of the CPU and more importantly the pins of the CPU for any anomalies?
At any rate. The only difference in bridge connections between 6x and 14x is located at the L6 bridges. The last bit is supposed to be connected instead of cut. Check the ocinside page, select workshop and choose the third socket A guide for tbreds and bartons. There choose a mobile cpu and leave anything else unchanged. Switch between 6x and 14x.
If you compare your L6 bridge setting from your pic with the 14x setting on that guide you will notice that it is the same. Therefore connecting that last connection would make your cpu behave normally. Your L5 bridge config seems to be correct.
Here I am, I made some interesting tests. I tried the cpu with an abit an7 and it behaved the same way, so I can safely say that the mobo is ok. I then tried with an asus a7v8x which has via kt400 chipset and, as expected, it started at 100x14 and I wasn't able to set a multiplier lower than 13 in bios. Then, I started windows and used right mark clock utility and, surprisingly, I was able to lower multiplier to 11x (tested with cpu-z). So, I'm thinking to paint the last L6 bridge as you suggested and try again.
