Awesome, my mobo supports it.

Very nice. [/borat]

Now just to save up the $1k to get them -.-

~Gooda~

Thanks the update. R3ap3R.

Oh, running Vista ultimate... hence, compatibility issues with some of these tests after all the tweaking I did... must have altered something that they need.
See my thread for tweaking vista, via my sig.

I have a QX9650, runs stable at 4.84Ghz under custom phase change @ 1.6v after doing the vDroop mod on my motherboard. Max OC so far is 5.1Ghz and max 3dMark06 score is a tad over 24k...

Testing with Maximus Formula, X38T-DQ6, DDR3 and LN2 next week...

Glad i got this processor, looks like the rest of the 45nm line are delayed because of intels tactics...

Same! What a rig btw... I haven't done a vDroop, and didn't have any guidance for OC speeds.... 4.84 stable huh? Guess I can bump it up... running at 29c idle, I have room to spare

I will be stable when my mobo is right... technically, this computer shouldn't run at all because 775 socket on 680i is not compatible with 45nm, but I am running seed samples.

frupert and R3ap3R. Thanks for your time and support. This thread truly belongs to you, 45nm owners.

frupert. I had added you into the list. Thanks the information.

R3ap3r your oc is definitely good for 680i, the key to going higher from here is FSB voltage, make sure you give it enough volts and you should have no problem getting where i am! As a side note to all penryns i have a FSB wall around 445 on this chip except when using a multi of 15, this FSB wall is quite common on these chips as well... If you use Crystal CPUID and SetFSB you can scale these things enormously with no walls...

Could you guys possible tell me how much you paid (in $) for your QX9650s?

I can't seem to find them on NewEgg (for obvious reasons), and I'm too busy working on my 500 point project to search around the intarwebz.
