Either way its a strong board, it can OC very high, you just have to know how to use it.
BIOS is the only problem I see with this board, and well all the good OCes with the P67A-UD7-B3 are done with F3H, with the three original levels of LLC, no boot loop, good memory clocking. The only thing is ppl think that BIOSes after that should incorporate the same things that BIOS did, but they don't. Maybe its to improve overall compatibility with other products, but there are some problems with RAM clocking really, and the 10 levels of LLC, which seem that they were done to make this board more compatible. In all they aren't that big of a problems, a normal OCer would never notice them. if you want a great OC BIOS for the UD7-B3, try F3h and flash your backup BIOS to it as well.
We have seen people hit almost 6ghz with this board, so yea it OCes very high, and RAm OCing is good too you just have to use the right BIOS.
If you want to know about this board more please just read through this thread, you'll hear complaints and then praises of different BIOSes for different tasks.
In all this board is fairly new, and i think the BIOS support would be stronger if Intel never had this stupid bug, making everyone change their BIOS code, and then releasing Z68, its hard to keep up with all the new releases for the same board really. This board has three different types: P67A-UD7, P67A-UD7-B3, Z68X-UD7-B3.
The UD7 is a great board for any 24/7 machine with a heavy OC, that is what its built for, but if you want to do extreme OC you need to use BIOS F3H, as that is the best BIOS for it.
maybe for those who clock below 4.8
