hmmm . . . I've been able to POST at 500 BUS, x9 multi, but haven't been able to get past the bootup screen - so no CPUz for proof . . . yet.
The V settings I've had to run are insane . . . vcore at 1.625, DRAM at 2.02, NSB at 1.83, SSB at 1.2 . . . plus all the other fine tuning voltages . . .
so - the board can do 500, as can the CPU . . . it's just a matter of getting things right.
I'm thinking . . . I'll hold off my next attempt till this upcoming weekend. I plan on pulling down to 1 2GB DRAM module, and removing all expansion cards except for 1 GPU . . . that should take a TON of stress of the SYS BUS (considering the amount of stuff I have installed) . . . as well as disconnecting all unnecessary HDDs except for my primary XP HDD, and disabling all onboard devices. The more open BUS lanes, the better.
All I'm wanting to see as that damn 50% OC!!! I'm not going to let this 9650 be the first CPU that I can't hit at least 50% with!

Wasn't stable after a few hours of playing games. Tried to lower the FSB and use a higher multiplier with no success. Guess i'll just have to be happy with 3.8Ghz (very stable). Think my chip must be a bad one for the overclock. Still better than with my XFX mobo, and i'm happy with the gaming performance. I'll probably have another crack at it next week.
