I just read the AnandTech review of the Albatron 865PE PRO II (http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.html?i=1824) and I'm getting psyched by some of these nice 865 boards.

One thing thou, I've only seen voltage adj. upto 1.6 Vcore and ~2.8V Vdimm, are there any nice OC'ing boards with more than that? Other than that, it seems like you can get Canterwood performance at Springdale prices from these models.

the is7 vcore can go up to 1.925. It seems to oc realy well. Not as good as the ic7/p4c800/p4p800 though.

the p4p800 seems to oc/preform the best, for a good price!

That's kind of a catch22. It has high vcore, but doesn't really OC like the best boards do.

I know my B0 looses steam after 1.75V, and I see a lot of C1's loose steam after ~1.65V. Do most of these D1-stepping PIV's need more than 1.6V to reach their potential?

I can't speak for D1, but that is the case with C1's. they tend to slow down after that voltage increase and time of course.
