My system config is:
Q9300
P5E X38
4X1 GB Crucial Ballistix 8500
ASUS 4850
Arctic Cooling 7 Pro
I'm hoping to get 3.5 GHZ.
Right now, I have the Q9300 clocked at 430X7.5 at 333 strap.
I bumped up the FSB to 430, I can't pass Prime95 further than this. Edit: This configuration is longer be prime stable. Maybe the AUTO function just changed the voltage.

North Bridge GTL Reference : AUTO
SB 1.5V Voltage : AUTO
CPU Spread Spectrum : Disabled
PCIE Spread Spectrum : Disabled
CPUID 1.275 idle and 1.24V load on CPU-Z.
When I try to increase Nbridge voltage or PLL, I can't boot at all. I read in a review once that this board got up to 500FSB on a quad without increasing any other voltages except CPU.
I helped my friend get to 3.5GHZ on a P35 DS3R before, so I'm hoping to get the same or even better.
Any help would be appreciated.
