Q9450 & ASUS PK5 Premium

[mr griffin]

May be of some interest to some of you looking to upgrade to the Q9450 who have the Asus P5K Premium.
Just messing about with my system today just thought i would see if this board would have done 450 fsb if I had waited for the Q9450 and it does it easily, not tried any higher for now but looks like 3.6 will be a walk in the the park

well my QX9650 hit 3.8 on stock volts so I would assume the same for the Q9450. Not bad for a £111 motherboard. I am not sure what the max limit is but even at 470 X 8 will still be nearly 3.8 which is pretty good. I still think it has a nice bit to go because I was only putting 1.4v through the northbridge, raise that to 1.55v could be 500fsb

Oh and mr griffin, the Q9450 has an 8 multi not 9, so with 450FSB your looking at 3.6GHz not 4GHz

I know that! that's why I said 3.6 not 4.0 in my original post. I just had mine at x9 but was just showing that a 450fsb was easily Possible nothing more.
