I can finally join the 4.0GHz club now !

Thanks to the ASUS P5Q pro and the Q9650 I have reached 4.0GHz !!! :clap:
now I need to tweak this RAM some :up:

Thank You :up: It sure has taken me a long time to catch up with most every one , But I have finally done it :up:

Man I thought that 3.6GHz was fast this thing is so freaking fast it is unbelievable !

Sweet, I bet you can even back down the voltage a bit on that Q9650 too!

Love that Q9650 it's a fantastic chip, in skilled hands, your the man!

very nice. Seeing quads at 4ghz is always a nice treat.

WOW thank You very much :up: I will try taking the CPU voltage down some I would like to see it a little lower but I am needing it as I am working on the RAM now !!

I ran my Q9650 in my max extreme board and was able to get it stable @ 4Ghz @ 1.28v, so once you get your ram tuning on target i bet you will find some good things when you start to down volt that core voltage.

great stuff!

Nice! They get snappy when you do that don't they? Congrats! :clap:

My QX9650 needs 1.368v load to be 50 loop linpack stable at 4 ghz with a TRUE, and 1.352v for 6+ hour prime, but that was a C0 stepping. Yours should requires less on average, for E0, but not all chips will perform the same; some E0's have needed 1.4v LOAD for 4 ghz with just prime and I saw 1 or 2 people who couldn't reach 4 ghz with a dual E1...

Yeah this thing is really snappy ! I am totally impressed with the speed and this mobo as well my god going from a 750i lame Nvidia chipset to this ASUS P45 is like night and day ! I am really impressed and having way more fun than I have ever had with the lame Nvidia chipset mobo's I have had in the past I am done with any chipset that is not Intel when it comes to an Intel CPU !
