Thank you, I was looking for this thread since I have the p35c.
First measure on the board, mosfet cooling
Does anyone know of any blocks/heatsinks/waterblocks that will fit on the mosfets/vregs?

Also, mcw30 does work on the southbridge with a slight modification.

Great thread. +rep I might have to try the volt mod. The max FSB I could achieve is 370 any more and I crash right as I get to windows or sooner.

I think the P35c is a better overclocker than the P35
In comparing someones Q6600 GO to my x3210 b3, my overclocks were higher and prime/orthos stable.
He also had to raise the fsb and other voltage to gain stability and mine were left stock.
We both have watercooled systems, though I really need to cover the vregs/mosfets because they run super hot
I'm overclocked at 440x8 (1.55v) (3520mhz on a 260watt cpu

It should not be because they are like the same boards. It largely depends on the cpu.

I just ran prime95 small FTT. 1.440 Load and 58C load. 62C one time and it's warm in here. And Orthos same test load is 55C. Tuniq is a beast.

I'm having a huge problem. In the past 10 minutes i discovered that my clock speed is 2.13ghz which is the stock clock on my proc. So i went into bios to change it back to the OC setting. Then it instantly reboots then it's booting then it reboots again before getting to the windows screen then reboots again, THEN get's to the windows screen and after checking CTRL panel and orthos it reverts back to 2.13. What on earth is going on. I CAN NOT LIVE LIFE AT STOCK!!!!!!!!

I ran into a huge headache. Becasue of the "Bright" engineers at Gigabyte they put the cmos battery right under my gts double wide card. So i had to take it out then remove the battery. In the end the problem still persists. So i tried to isolate the problem. the memory speed and the multiplier could be adjusted without it being reverted back to default . So now i know that my cpu is the one i can't OC. so what can i do now?
