ok, so i havent been paying attention because of this, but have just done a crash course on C&Q v3.0.

this all sounds great, improvements made to utilize the 45 nm production blah blah blah,

but is it any better? can we OC to 3.5 gig, and still use it? maybe C&Q dropping it to 1.2 gig instaed of the rated 800MHz?

if so i am in, my new crosshair II is on the way, and i am thinking this hybrid power might be worth trying, with C&Q as well this could be a cool solution to energy saving (nothing new i know, but it is for me lol)

but my spidey senses are tingling, i know it cant be that easy, it would be....you know....tooooo easy.

anyone got C&Q 3.0 running with an overclock?

and thanks lightman, i knew nothing of a new C&Q
Yes, I was able to run C'n'Q up to 3.3GHz/880MHz max/min p-state just by increasing HTT to 220MHz. I will try to push a bit more, but at the moment my NB is set to 11x and going above 2.4GHz on it with stock volts hangs my comp .
Problem is: only way so far on most mobos is to clock via HTT and let C'n'Q manage multis and voltages in a range 4x/1.0V to max. multi/stock volts. As soon as you reaches max. stable frequency on any of the settings that's your C'n'Q OC limit.
I know that my chip will do 1.4GHz/1.0V easily so that gives me theoretical 350MHz HTT limit on the idle setting, but 3.6GHz is the max. on the load with stock volts which in my case will require 240MHz HTT. So I'm looking at 960MHz low p-state and 3.6GHz full throttle

I will try my theory soon. I need to lower NB multi to 10x in BIOS and set memory to DDR 800.

Give me
