I haven't flashed it yet, and probably won't unless it's absolutely necessary. I've only had the board for three days and it was very happy running my Q9550 @ 448FSB, so 445FSB with my Q9650 should be a breeze.

VID is meaningless, seriously. My 9550 was 1.25 VID and needed over 1.4v for 4GHz, and the best 9550 so far in this forum is also 1.25 VID which does 4GHz on 1.21v. Explain the role of VID in this scenario.
