yeah, my ip35 pro does the same thing. I read an older post about somebody getting 8.5 out of his q9450, but he couldn't get any software to "verify" higher than 8x. I was curious so I tried to change my multi in bios. Sure enough, it let me change it to 8.5. However, I didn't change ANY of my voltages and the computer booted up just fine and started crunching away on seti like it was nothing. Now, I'm pretty excited about my cpu, but I don't think that it would be 100% stable with my current voltages at 3.825 ghz. Also, the post screen, cpu-z, coretemp, realtemp, etc all still showed an 8x multi. Too bad...:(

pisses you off dont it

Yeah I already tried this. It wouldn't even let me turn on N/2 with 9 in my mobo I don't believe.
