    Will the OCZ BIOS allow FSB overclicking of the q9000.

    If this chip can be cranked to 2.53ghz it would be a killer

    You don't need a cooler when only overclocking by .27GHz

    It's my understanding that you can only overclock via BIOS if it's an Extreme chip (and maybe an ES chip?).

    You'll have to overclock via a SetFSB type program.

    the q9000 will not be able to be oc'ed without setfsb or something similar. only extreme chips can be oc'ed in the bios
