I'm running between 462 and 475 right now on my P5K, and I'm sure I would end up trying to get at least 500 if I get a 9450. If you are running above 450, could you see if there is any heat coming off of them? I'm not asking you to put your fingers on the line, but if you have a temp probe or thermal gun, see if they seem to get hot with orthos at high FSB.

I always seem to get crappy chips, so I'll probably be running a somewhat high vCore on the chip.
