Thanks for the tip. What is the max safe CPU termination voltage?

You should grab a copy of your processor datasheet. It's chock full of interesting info.

Cool. Thanks again. +Rep!

This is kind of a newb question, but does it matter which pci express slot I install the graphics card in? Is one slot 16x and the other 8x, or are they both capable of 16x when a single graphics card is installed, and both 8x with dual graphics cards?

I am thinking of getting this board, though I will not be using Crossfire as I'm problably going Nvidia. Aside from that, is this board a good choice? I love the dual ethernet, and I will problably be able to take my Q6600 higher because this board does not have some of the vdrop problems the p35-ds3l is plagued with, correct? I'll problably look into getting a new CPU cooler too, as my blue orb II may be holding me back a little. My temps are currently around 50c under load at 334x9.

I have no use for it's crossfire features and it's still the best board I've purchased in the last two years. Even in a completely stock setup it's reliable, cool and stable.

As error10 wrote: The datasheet says 1.5V ±5%. So 1.425-1.575V for PLL

and CPU Term default on P45 are 1.20 and min max 1.14 - 1.26.

To be on the safe side you stay within those numbers but for benchmarks you can probably go higher for a short while or if your chip is expendable.

edit: way after the fact.

Looks like I'll have to get one then. I want to just stay with my ds3l, but I recently bought an ASUS Xonar HDAV1.3, and can't use it because all three of my PCI-E 1x slots are blocked by my 4850 with the Duorb on it. The PCI-E 1x above the PCI-E x16 slot is blocked by the mounting hardware on the back of the Duorb, the two below are blocked by the cooler itself.

The UD3P looks to have a much better layout though

You'll still have a rather nasty vdroop and the sata connectors are not right angled and a lot of them are easily blocked by a video card. "But overall this is a kickass product."
