    for those that have the QX9300, would you care to post what you have your overclock settings at?

    I been playing with it and so far the highest I can get that is stable is 2.88 That is at 10.5 1333 mem and 1100fsb. When I go to 3.06 it will run all test fine but if you reboot the system it will crash during shut down?

    Thanks for all your time and effort to help :)

    If it fails to restart I have read to pull the motherboard battery, However I had this happen to me and I pulled the regular system battery out and held the power button for 5sec. I was then able to go back into bios.

    Let me know how yours runs at 3.06 I can do full benchmarks and play games, but if I have to shut down the system, it will blue screen on me right before it shuts down.
