So you think it's the RAM holding me back? I'm at 8x475 and I'd really like to hit 4ghz...you think I need to go up to 8.5 or 9 and drop a bigger divider in order to do so?

It is probably the board/RAM combo holding you back. I don't have 8GB of DDR2 that will go that high but stability at 1000Mhz is easy on this board with 8GB, post your settings here and what RAM is it exactly?

I'm using gskill 8GBPI...I have Q9650 at 1.374v and the ram is at 1.9v. I am just usnig 8x475. I would like to drop down to 7x with a high FSB and a divider but even when I switch ratios the fsb will just not stabilize even up to 1.43 volts. I have tried messing with mch, pll, all kinds of settings, nothing seems to work...
