I'm in the same position. Have 400*9 with Ballistix 8500 running at 3:4. I've been trying to get 450*8 but am struggling to get it stable (although I'm confident I can achieve it when I find the time to spend on it). I did notice that the temps dropped a bit when running 450*8.

Would someone be so kind as to detail the benefits of running a lower multi with a higher FSB to us 'noobs'
