gigabyte x48 ds4 fsb wall is 450? i cant boot using 450x8= 3.6Ghz(1.275V),, but when i try 425x8.5= 3.612Ghz (1.268V), it runs perfectly with prime95. means gigabyte x48 ds4 is not good mobo for overclocking?

No problem with your board, 45nm Quads are known to have an FSB wall around 450-475. With a good dualcore your board will do 550-600.

So you can't boot a quad at 3.6Ghz with 1.275v? Have you tried adding voltage?

my babies just arrived last friday, diamond 4870 x2 and asus maximus formula II, well, my q9550 running now @ 4.0Ghz(1.32V)will try to push more after i stable it. i can say that gigabyte x48 ds4 have fsb @ 450, in my own experience.
