Hi people,

I know this thread is about the 9450s, but I'm having trouble to find threads about the 9300. And since the CPUs are rather similar....

I've had by Q9300 C1 for two months now...and I am kind of stuck at FSB 440, and I am too stubborn to believe that I just caught a crappy chip.
FSB 450 lets me only see the Windows bootscreen before it locks up.

Specs:
Maximus Formula 1.03G board with Rampage 0403 board

LLC: Enabled
Core: 1.30V
FSB Term: 1.38V
NB Volt: 1.61V
PLL: 1.50
CPU GTL Ref: tried Auto, 0.62, 0.63

Any suggestions?
