    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!

    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...

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 !
