Thinking hard. I wish i knew what the actual NB temps are under stock cooling.

I'm loving the way the board will always boot when you've messed a setting up & allow you to try something else without a full CMOS/BIOS clear.

I've been playing about for a couple hours tonight & although I don't think I have a Prime blend stable 500 x 9 Q9560 I'm doing alright. On the shipped F4 BIOS I have my Q9650 running 500 x 8.5 on 1.35v, 1.40v NB & my OCZ 8500 SLI's @ DDR1000 1.80v so I'm quite happy.

See you all around

All the other board manufactures are not liking gigabyte right now. Way to go gigabyte!! I will surely consider the X58 version soon.

Having said that all I had to do to get 500 x 8.5 running prime was as follows, up the CPU termination voltage to 1.3v, the vcore to 1.35625v, NB to 1.4 & all the rest is as the board set it. The NB needs more than 1.4 but less than 1.5 to run a couple hours of large custom fft's, I'll find the sweet spot later today. I also have the CPU & PCI drive strengths up at 1000mv as this helped with high fsb so I just left it there when I came down to only 500 lol.

I am also just 1:1 atm on the 333 strap. I have manually set my timings to a safe (I know they can do it) value although the board sets them very very loose as std anyway.

Hope this helps.
I was at 500x9 with crazy voltages. 1.7 on MCH, PLL and VTT. I dropped to 8.5 with your voltages and gonna see whats up.
