    Only worth pi 1M without a sweat...lol...for 24/7 around 4.5Ghz stable is possible with decent voltage.

    Nice results also Sparda!!!

    Yes you are right poor Cryo-Z is so bored that is just sad I'm using DFIx48 w/ the quad at 469x9 1.30vcore super pi around 10,5s temp -46 to -50oC.

    I'll Probably do that next year cause wife will kill me on spot if I touch this PC this year

    Nice clocks. What vMCH do you require for 500 FSB totally stable? At 500 x 9, what are you running your ram at and at what PL?

    Only no other mobo will hold my 250W Q6600 on 24/7 load without exploding

    Jcool is right, it's disappointing really I've been thru 3 DFI's X38 and 2 DFI's X48 and they all gave same results on Quads with a little difference in FSB.

    I got these boards as soon as this Chipset debut because of the double x16 in Crossfire capability, but then when ATI's X2 came out that was a feature that became a bit useless.

    The boards cost me $300+ at the time and they are good for high mem clocks DDR2@1300 with little voltage. They are also solid trustworthy boards but for that price DFI could have done a lot better.

    The reason I believe is a fatal mistake made on the PWM-Chipset design for running Quads. They underestimated that for sure.

    The max FSB I got out of a Quad was 485x9 but that stresses the board a lot, needs a lot of volts on NB/VTT/Vcore for that (with a board rev. A1).

    So you have to chose between running 470x9 and low volts for everything (vtt, vnb. vdimm, vcore etc) or 485x9 with huge amount of volts.

    I prefer to run it low volts and comfortable because the extra 15Mhz won't be missed.

    With a new board in the near future that can change. I'm not thinking about i7 as it won't give me any gains in reality.
