P43 chipset is castrated 45 less phases into Cpu :/ im very familiar with socket 775 (was my fav rigs/e8400 than e8500, first good quads 6600 than 9650 kurwa good old times
)
so on p43 or p45 southbridge (memory controler) is very problematic, probably u overheat your memory module by mistake, i killed like 7 modules of ram not even touching voltage in Bios
it's important not to use all 4 banks of dimms on motherboard (even fucking new skylake got some problems with this:/ ) and overcloaking your ram, thats the big problem, to OC Cpu on 775socket u need to pump your CPU and ->equally<- u need to OC your ram into 870MHz it's plus/minus 445 FSB and its 4.02 GHz on your CPU. It's easy to oc q9650 to 4.02 Ghz but on two DIMM slots like 2x2GB of Ram 800Mhz but who wants fucking 4GB of ram
so if ur going to buy a ram try to buy 2x4 only!! and those memory kits are expensive, i mean u need to buy 800MHz atleast not some cheap ebay memory modules ( yea i know those type of ram kits are flooding almost in every ebay auctions ) like this

try to get some solid rams like OCZ/Patriots not some no names

BIOS->Adv.Setup
ratio-9.0
FSB-445
PCIE-101
Auto/Auto/Auto
vCPU-1.30
u can use strapsif u have on motherboard 1.35x0.63
CPU pll-1.60
vFSb-1.40
DRAM voltage
-try always to put 1 stick and setup voltage to v2.02
if you can reboot and log into bios put another stick and another ONE BY ONE it's important not all 3 or 4 rams, thats why its important to have good ram with 2.02(+0.08v will be added by mobo) not some cheap shit wich can't boot even on 1.90 V (standard of ddr2 is 1.90V but its too low to OC memory so it's hard to OC your Cpu so your GPU will be bottlenecked
)
vNB
- here is another important thing, if u gonna use 3 banks of ram u need to pump some Voltage go for 1.50V(probably it will be purple alert in bios but no problemo with this
)or even more to 1.58V but dont go for more than 1.60V it's too much for mobo and ram
SB-1.10
Pcie-1.50
ahh and don't forget to put HyperTreading ON
in some games it's like +20 fps instahhh
ok and have some nice links about xeon/q9650 cos its still a very/very good cpu just u need to Oc it and get some mediocre gpu

yeah if u will OC to 4.2Ghz and with some ok oc on 970Gtx u will have nice 60 fps constant in every game so good luck, ah and if u will have problems with ram write to me i will give u manual timmings on them:)
