The benefit to running at 9x400 obviously is less stress on the board as you will need higher NB voltages to maintain 500FSB, expecially with a quad.
Yeah I got that but doesn't anybody think about how you shorten the boards, CPU's lifespan with such high clocks and voltages...and my point is what's the total benefit in day to day use ? I like to play on PC's, OC them mess about, but to me there's not much difference in my online gaming with a quad at 3.5 or one running at 3.6ghz...

It might be cool for benching but some really want to use these settings day in day out... and then they come back with a topic like "board A sucks ass", "RMA takes too long", "got B board","B died on me in half a year", "RMA sucks again..."

Some here are really thinking they buy high grade stuff, build it and hopla I can run 500FSB now till I get something new...

Hope you get my point...
