In the Xtreme Overclocking section of this forum, people managed to overclock the pci-e bus to 130mhz on the EX58-UD4P, allowing much higher Bclk clocking, but this requires a hardmod. At this moment, it isn't possible to overclock the pci-e bus over 103mz as far as I'm concerned with any of Gigabyte's X58 offerings without this hardmod. Now I think I've read somewhere that the 1.6 revision of the EX-UD3R board fixed this and allowed users to raise their pci-e clocks above 103mhz without modding their board, allowing for Bclks over 222mhz. Could anyone confirm this?

And if this is true, does anyone happen to know if Gigabyte is going to release a 1.6 revision of their other boards as well, fixing the same issue? How long would it take for those to hit retail? I'm currently looking for X58 mobo, and Gigabyte's EX58-UD4P looks VERY tempting, but I'm really disappointed by their Bclk wall at 222mhz...

Thank you all for this great thread. Atleast Gigabyte has a very active, helpful and most importantly friendly community backing their boards.
