I can get 10x multi stable on my chip but if I lower the multi I can not get the chip/board stable at higher speeds. I'm pretty sure its the chip, too because I can boot at 420or even 450 no problem, but if I Try to load the cpu it crashes. Either way, if I want to OC a quadcore Yorkfiled I'll need faster memory, but who knows what kind of fsb clocks will be possible with the Q9450.

I think I might order those Crucial 1066. The Reapers look good too, but I think the heatpipes might get in the way of my OCZ fan. Can anyone confirm this?

I'm going to takesome time this weekend with OCCT and some voltage graphs to see where my lower multi, higher fsb OCs are failing.
