I know, but before i had the Q6600 i could do this:

And i see i got with a other Q6600 a good 490FSB in 5 min testing...

Didn't try Ket's biosses yet, but i'm thinking my ram is not good in QVL.
If i had Corsair Dominator PC8500 when i did that 490FSB on the Q6600.

With other words, my ram is maybe the down factor.


Trying tomorrow:

- Other ram
- Ket's bios
- tRD of 10/11

BTW, LLC works just normal here, so my mobo is not the down factor i think.
But, more news tomorrow !
