Official Water Cooling Thread of the Stock Maximus SE ROG NB Club:

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).

I agree, just that quiet no one is getting his Maximus board stable (especially OCCT RAM) above 3.6GHz for a quadcore on the Maximus topic... You also write: the DFI is more stable at 465MHz FSB, that means the Maximus is not stable at that FSB (8x465 was tested), which is what most people noted with their board: nothing stable over a Q6600 above 3.6GHz in OCCT RAM. And th efact is that it is not a CPU limit, but a combo motherboard-RAM limit. End users are deceived by their Q6600 topping at 3.6GHz, what a P5B deluxe can achieve often
Anyway, I don't skim read, was just a suggestion, you're the author, you do what you feel is better. Also, didn't read anywhere on the use of Prime95 Blend test for 8h in your article, that's why I proposed OCCT (RAM).

Didn't like to launch such a debate in this thread dedicated to the NB cooling, maybe it should have been in the maximus topic. Anyway, thanks for your efforts, and sure we'll be waiting for the next review
