what cooling do you have on the northbridge? because im on stock cooling with case fans and im still getting lockups in the high 460s fsb wise. also what performance level are you at? i see your using 1:1 memory divider while im on 5:6 performance level 8 atm. im already on the 8 multiplier to push my cpu and thats with stock cpu cooling lol. i can see myself using the 10 or possibly even the 11 multi if i push for 5ghz if i ever get around to using dry ice. big question mark over whether this board with only 4 phases will handle a quad pushed that hard, probably not.

just a cheap green lit 2500rpm molex case fan and 1.30 volts

i don't let it run at 500 for fear of killing a 300$ chip with vtt, since i don't need to, but 471x8.5 is easy with this one...did it on the first try...whereas my bad ud3r took 2xdozen attempts and never booted succinctly..so to speak...I personally don't think 471 will kill it - (too soon anyway) ...

i know it's only 4 phase and no pwm /mof cooling, but then it only has to last 3 month's when i replace it with a UD3P - but i'm a little tapped out after X-mas so this will have to suffice - and it was only a quick trip across the street - either that or the UD3LR /EP45T-UD3P - just for the DDR3 fun - if i can find one..

i just wanted to say that it appears ALL the Ultra Durable 3 series can do it with Quads....that's all

Thanks

edit: i'm not into the performance stuff, i just set everything from Turbo to Standard..that's all I can tell ya
