I have the Q9450 P35-DS3L setup. Right now I am running at 3.2Ghz and I can't seem to get it any higher.

Xigmatek: 3405 MHz, 1.32 volts in BIOS / 1.27 in CPUz, 62-66C under load
This is with 454 MHz FSB.

I got a shitty overclocker of a q9450 as well. I can do 3.3GHz perfectly stable with stock voltages on either Air or my TEC setup. However, I can't push it past 3.44 (430x8 or 460x7.5) or no matter how much voltage I throw at the thing with either Air or Sub Zero cooling. Frigging PO'd at this stupid chip

While your disappointed in only 3.3 ghz, that's a healthy 600mhz + OC on a Quad core ..
So your running it faster than A $1,500 QX9750 for about $350 that don't sound too bad to me !! Granted some people are squeezing & stretching more out of theirs,, but ????

you cant say this. Because that faster quad will come out and do this if you overclock it.

Leave QX's out of this, this is why i havent really said much about my QX.
You guys are struggling to pass 3.6-3.7ghz stable. I have yet to see a QX9650 that couldnt do 4.0ghz.
Actually if you had a Q9450 or Q9550 which could boot up windows @ 4.0ghz this low a lot of you guys wouldnt be crying:

so lets leave the QX out of this. They dont follow the same rules as you guys are following from what im seeing.
