I'll buy DX48BT2 with Q9450 and OCZ DDR3 PC3-8500(D9GTR)..
Can DX48BT2 reach 450FSB with 333 N/B Strap?
If it can't, I'll buy P5E64 EVO or RAMPAGE EXTREME

On the X48 I'm at 450FSB 333/1333 (333 strap)

Passes 4 hours of OCCT mix.

Now I do think I fried my E8500 because I can only get it to 450x8 with reasonble Vcore now.
