    So I have an Asus p5e flashed to rampage bios 1201 with a q9550 @ 3.6 425 mhz NB.
    I am wondering if this board can handle a 450mhz nb for a 45 nm quad. I wanna get my q9550 to 3.8 or possibly 4.0 but I'm not sure if this board can handle it. So my question is, before I start ocing again, can this board handle a 450mhz or more for a q9550 for 24/7 use?

    I was told the X38 doesn't shine with the quads and you will need the X48/P45 to really push the fsb with this cpu

    I guess you should try and let us know
