Mind sharing a link to where you read that? Ideally I'd ask you to overclock on the X48 platform since it has a better ability to overclock. On the G41, you're just running the system with the risk of burning up the VRM's when overclocked. You will also need a beefy cooling solution for that Q9650.

I just hope you know what you're doing with those specs/hardware. If they're expendable, go ahead. If they're your bread earner, please stop.
