This thread has really grabbed my attention. Gigabyte seems to have a real winner with the UD3P. At a decent price too. Makes me want to play!

Nothing wrong with the setup you see in my sig, rock stable. But I would like to ride the LGA 775 platform for another year. Just looking to get the most out of my cpu and memory,and have some fun doing it.

My Q6700 (1.275 vid) @ 1.325 vcore in bios is prime stable at 3.4. With a vdrop to 1.29 on load per everest on my BadAxe2. then comes the 975X quad brick wall of course.

I just have 2 questions:

Am I unreasonable to expect 3.7 to 3.8 OC out of my 1.275 vid Q6700 on the UD3P? Will be running it on a Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme

And if I buy this board I hope I have better luck with my 4x1 gigs of Crucial Ballistix 8500's than mykemyk2010 of this thread has had. Hence the 2nd question:

I'm running the older double sided Ballistix 8500's, D9GMH modules. 16FD3 batch. Anybody running these or any other D9GMH modules in 4x1gb configuration?

Coming from the simplistic OC on a BadAxe2 to a p45 board is a big jump for me, but with the wealth of info flowing into these threads takes the worry away.

Thanks a bunch!
