Well, 450FSB seems to be the sweet spot for this board and with a Q9450 that puts you right at 3.6GHz. Use DDR3-1800 memory and you're set.

BUT... I think everyone here will agree that this board takes a lot of time and care to tune. It's not for the casual overclocker or someone who doesn't have the time and patience to put into it.
