The reason for the shot at Shimano is that he puts pencil mods in all his reviews - UNTESTED!? So this asshat is giving people information that could knowingly destroy your PC. Anyone that stupid deserves to be called an Asshat. LeStat and I have called him on this but he refuses to answer replies, PMs. Basically he's a coward... posts some BS then won't man up when he's wrong - which is basically...everytime....lesson learned - Shamino doesn't know what the hell he's doing when he gives pencil mods out. Just untested guesses.
Lol, ouch. I must say though that the pencil mod for this mobo most assuredly does not work.

I did finally manage to get it stable at 3.45ghz, vdroop is definitely holding back higher clocks. That and the stupid jump from 1.6-1.8-2.0vcore. What was Gigabyte thinking?

But the real killer was getting the timings for my 4gigs of G.skill PK dialed in. Took the longest to find stable timings. Finally tried the ones G.skill recommended for the p965 ds3 and they are working great staying around 800mhz. They did 1100 on my Amd board so should have some room to increase them...
