Are about few days I'm testing this beauty. The GIGABYTE p67 UD5, is quite the same of the UD7, the difference are just the lack of nf200 onboard, and there are just 3 pci-express slot instead 4:

I'm using water cooling and I have to say this new baby is really another story besides Lynnfield.
With the Vcore on auto, the system is fully stable like that:
The water temperature is about 21 °C. During the vantage CPU test the CPU temp. never go over 47 °C
Setting the vcore @ 1,36 volt ( in the bios) the system is fully stable @ 4.5 G
The limit is given by the CPU architecture. The highest settable multiplier is 51. The motherboard allow to set until 90, but over 51 the system doesn't boot.
Setting vcore @ 1,5 volt from bios:
In that way the cpu temp during vantage cput is about 80 °C.
The system is fully stable, but i think is a little too much for a daily use.
In the next days i will try to push a little the bclock.
