Last fly of the P5B: QX9650... Spi1M @8.079s under cascade

Thanks Pete

It did 4.8GHz @1.56v (bios) Spi1M on Intel stock cooler (really nice one indeed).

I'm also waiting impatiently for the X48.

Nice work bro... looks like a killer cpu but Im sure YOU have alot to do with its success..

Do you think you got your moneys worth from that P5B yet? ( j/k)

Last fly of the P5B still continues... lol I didn't think that I'll run that board again, but I coudn't resist to try my new E8500 (already tested @640FSB -Thanks my friend!-) on my old P5B E+.

Unfortunately, I knew that actual board can't get great FSB clocks... and the E8500 doesn't make expection. In fact, clocking was limited to lets say 580-584FSB.

A better board is needed.

Nice results, your E8500 beat the QX9650 by .078 seconds

Are you on the lookout for an Asus Commando? Those Wolfdales seem to love that board(Commando).
