    Two things:

    Is the M17X you have for sale one of the ones you've had problems with?

    Cohesive paragraphs and punctutation are your friend.

    i try 3 different qx9300 an they all perform the same the problem is on the motherboard not giving enough juice to the proc. also can be the bios because it controls the voltages but for me all the extreme cpu's are the same even the ES. versions :)

    Since you apparently fixed your original issue, this thread is closed. Go to the Side Topics forum if you want to chit-chat.

    Thank you.
