**Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 OC-Tips-Bios-Discussion Thread**

[Lsdmeasap]

Just thought I would post up my latest quick stability testing, and settings @ 4.2Ghz, for anyone using 980X with this board.

1.344 Idle/Load = Zero Vdroop (Using LLC Level 1) Could go lower likely, no time to test right now though.
