Wow guys this mobo is nicely priced too. I might as well pick it up from the egg. I have Killa's E8600, I can boot up with ease @ 4.5ghz but stabalizing it is the problem. This will be my first Gigabyte board, I owned nothing but DFI's.
EDIT; I will have Team Xtreem 1066 Ram with this board. Memory wont be a issue

I wanted more but they are rare to find anymore. I hear its hell to RMA with them though, hope I wont have to experience this for myself.

Trust me the DFI X38 does great with 65nm's. Now with 45nm chips its sad. (Just noticed you have a X38 with a good OC on 45nm. What bios are you using?)
I bought a good Q9650 from a member here on OCN, and the X38 would not boot it above 3.9Ghz at all. I ended up selling tha Quad and last I heard killa had it @ 4.4Ghz or more.
Thanks for the help everyone, I should receive the UD3R Thursday

Cant wait.

Really, I think you'll have really good luck with you LT x38 if you stick with it, otherwise most of the higher-end P35+ ASUS and DFI and the EP45-UD3R will do you justice. |
