Q9450 OC / Temps / Settings

[ChaosMinionX]

I'm quoting your own statement to answer the bolded statements above:

Even a dim-witted high school kid understands your statement here: You're implying that only a "true" rampage is capable of the shots I posted, when I point you you to the x38 in the screen, you ignore it and come back spitting b**lsh*t. You can't flip-flop on your statement, at least you won't get that past me.

You have also demonstrated your naivete when it comes to overclocking because running a quad + 8GB kills your fsb. You once again shot yourself in the foot because you did mention NB but failed to see how tasking your NB by populating your 4 slots hampers it in high fsb situations.

If you thing 8x533 + 8GB Ram is a mean fit, please point me to a post anywhere in this forum where someone has achieved that, and on what platform?

Finally this is my original post: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=452

Notice how I said, 45nm cpus. Haven't I backed all that up?

Finally, your argument that my Maximus has been flashed with a rampage bios while going against your own statement, makes me laugh. Is this an argument over a chipset or a bios software? Just check out the Maximus/Rampage thread and tell us how many guys/gals are running their systems with the Rampage bios because everyone knows the x38/x48 chipsets are one and the same? In fact, I could simply end this argument by flashing to a "Maximus bios" except for the fact that I returned the board since I no longer have a use for it.

Now, I'll advice you to go back and read all the posts before you make another comment because it seems to me there's a lot you're either misconstruing or simply do not comprehend.

Lest I forget, I'm not the only with a Maximus who is having success with a 45nm quad. Why I should point this out to you, beats me.

Oh where to start?

Sorry to burst your bubbles but P35 clocks 45nm chips like s**t. @ LUCI5R: You should have gotten x38 at least with that 45nm quad.

You yourself state Quad, so I pointed it out.

Yes there has been a significant difference in overclocking ability of 45nm chips from the Maximus and Rampage... If you havent seen that yet on forums, then I suggest you take up reading rather than assuming they clock the same like you have been. Yes they are the same chip, no they do not Overclock the same for 45nm/65nm there are slight differences.... hell 10mhz seems to be making all the difference in the world as to whether or not people keep their 45nm chip, junk the board, or just stay/go back to 65nm....

You apparently dont even meet the requirements for a dimwitted high school kid to see that these problems in overclocking have been all over these forums, and the internet as a whole concerning x38/48, p35 when overclocking 45nm quad cores (namely X3350,Q9450)

I could start a poll now, and ask how many people with X38/X48 chipsets have gotten over 440mhz FSB, hell even just gotten to 440mhz and realized their board wont give them anything more. The rare case that someone, yourself included manages to get over that 440mhz wall others seem to be hitting with the Q9450/X3350 is just that, a rarity. The only board that consistently got over 450mhz and beyond was the G35 based P5E VM HDMI board and the majority of 790i based boards.

The sheer fact that you filled 4 DIMMs and got a high FSB means nothing, with voltage and proper cooling that should not be a problem, the chipset itself is rated for 8GB anyways at stock volts, and it responds very well to voltage (x38/x48).

And try doing your 8GB of ram with a quad, then tell me your FSB which you already posted was 475mhz which went down significantly from your 8400 screen which was 533mhz... you would be one of the rarities to get that on X38, it is not a common thing, nor is it a result of cooling/voltage/settings/knowledge of OCing, because none of them have worked for alot of people.

And you might wanna pick your words a little more carefully before you go and challenge someones ability to comprehend things, and re read what you were saying prior to me asking you where you have been for the past 2 months. Get off your horse.
