I do fully appreciate your work, no doubt. Prime95 Blend is a good test for all the subsystem stability. Thought you were on small or large FFT which won't enlighten the weakness of the RAM-board at high overclocks. So it is just great.

No need for a Q6600, I can understand it. But as you do, your QX6800 at 9x multiplier is the best choice you did to satisfy all the performance thursty, but poor people not affording an extreme CPU, we all are. So, it is just great how you bench and the CPU/test bed you used

The only thing, I'd like to find in your tests, is the maximum stable overclock, not only a useless unstable maximum FSB at a low CPU clock. But again, it is "what I like", and you do the best you can already. So, just take it as a constructive comment, a suggestion, and I fully respect all your decisions

8x450=3.6ghz, the same as 9x400 but harder to achieve. 8x450fsb (3.6ghz) prime stable for 8 hours. I also stated how the stability was affected as fsb was raised coming down to 1hour and under between 460 -465 fsb. 9x 400 is easier to get stable than 8x450, all Q6600's can use the 8x multiplier, there's no injustice there to Q6600 users (in the review).

Make sure you do not skim read, there's too many people guilty of this. It's all there (the info).
