Mine is a 1.25 and I have seen validation up to 4.5ghz so far, but I need a new bios on this board badly... the ram dividers dont work right and I can reach 485 boot stable and the divider craps out on me its definitely a ram issue because It freezes post on the memory check :\

Sucks about your RAM, wish I could help but all I know is ASUS P5Q-D and my DDR2(which I love both). I am just contemplating doing a return if my first Q9650(should be arriving tomorrow) is max VID. I have done this before on Q6700's but the ethics gods bit me and I got another max VID chip in return. I am sick of struggling with poor overclocking chips and would love for once to get a decent clocking chip that runs cool on lower volts. 4.2ghz is my goal on air and if I get something better then I will be very happy.
