I'm sure many already know the power of the new P35 chipset but I am skeptical so I needed to see for myself.. I used to run my X3210 on an Abit Quad GT at 3.2ghz 1.55v. That was the limit of the cpu. I tried everything to get it higher.. I even popped it into my DFI-S Dark board and had the exact same oc. So, I got the Gigabyte P35 DS3R board last week. My first impression was pretty good. I first booted into windows at 400x8 at stock voltage settings. Just amazing right off the bat. After that I just slowly stress tested and bumped FSB.. Here are a few ss's.
1.43v

1.53v and bump MCH OverVoltage Control .2v and FSB OverVoltage Control to .2v.

My temps were amazing as well. I'm using the waterkegIII and its keeping this very hot cpu very cool.. On air under a Thermaright ultra-120 it was loading at 65c+ at 1.55v. Now, its well under 60c.. For a quad core this cpu is one of the hottest I've used.. It ranks up there with my first Kentsfield B0 stepping. Depending on my ambient temps I've seen this cpu hit 70c on air.
I've been using this waterkegIII for awhile now and its one of the easiest things I've used yet.. I'm a water cooling n00b so all I had to do was mount the block fill and bleed. I was running within hours:D Check it out:

So overall this board along with the cooling work quite well together.. I'm happily crunching WCG 24/7 at 3.6ghz:up:
