Its likely MCH ref or even MCH core that is holding you back. Run memtest and loop test #7. If you see tons of errors, raise the MCH core or even raise PL(static tRead) or your mem timings. If you get 1-2 errors in each pass then change the mch reff.
I just got my Q9650, So far I need different MCH ref settings and likely cpu reff settings for sure. I dont have much time tonight but will be looking back through this thread to try some settings.
