Gigabyte EP35-DS3P Overclocking issues

[slugzkea]

I RMA'ed this board for a rampage. If you apply more than 1.4vols to the northbridge it limits your FPS by 30-50fps.

This board is great for stock, and a cheesy OC but other than that, it's not an enthusiasts board.

That doesn't exactly pinpoint a motherboard issue.
I have the board here for review, so... I'll share my own experience soon.

why are you increasin NB volts in first place
GB boards don't need an increase in NB anyways. They will give you great FSB and RAM speeds at stock voltage believe me

also for future reference users should select Turbo graphics in bios in case of slowdowns....that causes very poor 3D scores and could have been a possible problem

Poor gaming fps and scores was not the problem, stability was.
