[cencik]

i don't know if anyone is still rocking this mobo, but i experienced degradation on NB. Or something...
i was running
8.5X451
1.28 vcore
1.54 PPL
1.3 for nb
1.32 fsb
2.02 mem
1083 mhz, lighter,PL10 5-5-5-15-55
for 2 years. Then suddenly some games start to shutdown back to desktop. slowmo

Now after testing all settings for week. all is rock solid linX 30 pases, p95 blend 2800 mem 4h, memtest 1000% stable temps linx under 74c prime 58-64
All on PL8 and lower volts on cpu 1.256 (this was sweet spot on x38) WTF 775 is a great mystery
But i need to up NB to 1.38, FSB 1.36. ANY lower value i have errors. lower FSBv wont even post
i know this board overvolts but maybe my dont? i have newest board rev 03
I had this cpu on x38 maximus formula same cpuv 1.256 up to 474x8.5 (my vid is low1.1875 i don need much v)
hardware
q9550 E0, 4Gb 2x2 transcend aXeRam PC2-8500, noctua d14 inside coolermaster haf x+ a lot of fans

i need to push this chip to 4ghz without burning components(cpu was stable 1.312 4.105ghz on asus x38MF ). this rig will go soon for my young bro. but i need to push it to limt now.
sorry for bad english
