Well I can't achieve 4.5ghz bootable. I managed a 3dmark 06 run at 4.320 9x480, but that was about it.

I then decided to have a look through the hall of fame on Hwbot. I did a search for qx9650 scores between 25,000 and 30,000 single card in 3dmark 06. I wanted to see if I was missing something, but the results or should I say '0' results for rampage extreme seem to back it up. I can just about smile, but I think I've made a right c0ckup choosing this board. Off to have a look for my next spectacular mistake.lol
