do you multiply fsb by 3 for dd3 speed? if so, then you can run @ 1:1 @ 444 fsb with ddr3 1333 @ stock settings. I always assumed that it was like ddr2 and you just multiplied the fsb x 2...

Every generation of DDR doubles the figure again, so 4X. These all run at the same base frequency:
SD 200
DDR 400
DDR2-800
DDR3-1600
and the timings figures also double. DDR "CAS2" became DDR2 @4-4-4, and now DDR3 @8-8-8.

FSB 1600 - At 1600 it freezes at post. At 1550 its fine.

Mem 800 I also tried 802 and 850.

Huh? The FSB should be a simple multiple of the RAM speed. (Ideally 2:1) When you change one, the other should move with it.

Hi Stump1000,

Just a question from a newbie:

Looks like the Q9300 IS compatible with motherboard Asus P5N-E SLI, right?
(Asus CPU support list isn't mentioning it...)

I also have a P5N-E SLI and would like to upgrade to the Q9300.

Thanx.

Sorry I took so long to reply. The P5NE-SLI IS compatable. Thats the setup I have, it runs great.

Hey guys, I was wondering how you were able to get your q9300 to work with the p5n-e sli. The 9300 isn't listed under the supported cpu list on asus's website.

I got the q9450 and its being a bitch... i keep getting machine check exception after 15 minutes to a few hours and tech support keeps telling me that its probably an incompatibility issue since the mobo doesn't support the q9000 series. I also upgraded to the latest bios version (1002).

Thanks in advance for any help
