    Wonder if the Q9200 has something like 2 of these on it?

    Just got mine 3 days ago.

    I got Shirley's Q9200 QAVR running @ 3.05 Stable for 48 hours nonstop in OCCT.

    1222 Mhz FSB 10x Multiplier. If I do multiplier OC alone I can’t get it stable past 2.8 for some reason. Using 1066 MHz RAM.

    I had the problem with the x9100. OC'ed great as long as you don't touch the multi.

    Yeah Mine goes to 2.66 stable 24/7 with the 10x multiplier, I just run it at that non stop since I do not need a high clock speed, 2.66 is more than enough.

    I can bench at 2.8 just using the multiplier but get a BSOD shortly after finishing a run, I will try your settings and see if I can reach a similar result, do you have your ram speed locked at 1066 while the fsb is at 1222?

    How high can you get it just by upping the fsb and leaving the multiplier alone? just curious because if you look at the specs, some of those Q9200's have a max on the multiplier. isearched fairly diligently today because I bought one and found a cpu comparison chart that showed the q9200 as having a max multiplier @ 7.5. The max fsb comparison was same as qx9300.

    Since raising the fsb oc's anything connected to it including the ram... hey, you dont have 1333mhz ram do you?

    The reason I ask is that I bought some 1333 memory and can't fsb oc--wondering
    if any m17x 1333mhz memory users have successfully fsb oc. I think 1333 is close to the limit for this Nvidia chipset. If you want to fsb oc then you need to use 1066mhz memory.

    I can over clock stable to 2.8 with fsb OC, and multiplier at 10x, anything past that with fsb only, multiplier only, or a combo of the two results in a BSOD.

    Personally I'm extremely happy I got a chip that runs perfect at 2.66 without the need for fsb OC'ing for only 225 USD, IMO with the performance this thing gives that's one hell of a bargain. If down the road I need more speed I'll add a bit of fsb clocking but a quad at 2.66 will be good enough to last me the entire time I own my M17x.

    QAVR.
