nice chip ?

Yep as Cob said get it up to around 480 FSB 3.84ghz then you have a good chip, no offence meant, but 450 is not a landmark overclock for that chip board combo.
My Q9300 sits everyday at 3.5ghz 467x7.5 on 1.34v in bios (less with cpu-z) and has been since new, did have 490 fsb out of it for a benchmark run.
Wont do that now though as it is tired made the mistake of giving to much FSB termination volts through it, not understanding what it was. A P5Q is probably a better overclocking board than my P5E even with mine being totaly under water apart from SB which has a solid copper heatsink.
So keep going and report back to us on your progress, if you need settings just ask on forum plenty of us will help you out.

Btw . . .Think i have a good chip?, it does get a bit tosty after an hour prime but have run for 8hours np.
Welcome to OcUK Forums!
Would be nice if you can include some stability screenies next time (Prime Small FFTs/IBT etc) as it kinda cements the fact the clock is 99% good & stable, there are one or two posters who get quite excited about an overclock and don't test properly which I can understand but its always a drag if the system then crashes and burns and you have to go public lol!
