Guys, not looking for the best of the best, just needing a board that has a high chance of reaching 200BCLK, and SLi support @ 16x16x 8x preferably. Here are my choices, please tell me what you think is the better choice.
(1) Gigabyte UD5
(2) eVGA X58 SLi
(3) Asus P6T-DLX

Is everyone sure that the board is the limiting factor in Bclk? Or is it the memory controller on the core i7?
I had a 920 that wouldn't go over 205. I replaced this with a 940. It too wouldnt'go over 205. But the batches were the same.
What we need is to hear from those people who have had more than one Core i7 on a particular board and ask if the bclock was the same of if some chips did much better.
I think it depends on the chip....

I could validate my max bclk @ 215: http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=511293
But on a 24/7 config I can't passa 205 so I think the best answer is a combination of a good board and a good processor.

(1) Gigabyte UD5 will win because look at the UD3P as an example. Just pure ownage (took my q6600 to 3.9ghz with 1.49v where no other boards can do) :D

dfi x58 is quite good board. but pretty much all x58 boards can do 200 bclk its just the trick to find the settings that will do that.. for instance i had major problems getting past 200 on my dfi board but once i figured out what was holding me back..boom 220 -230bclk was easy :D

Im really leaning toward the UD5. I'm really getting pissed @ ASUS, but why no love for the eVGA X58 board? The thing I really like about eVGA is their service. God for bid I have to do an RMA, eVGA makes it super easy......

all X58 basic chipset can run BCLK 200 if you want specified..try with maximum BCLK lower Voltage QPI

Mind telling us what was holding you back? We could all use any tricks that might be out there.
Thanks
