I know this mobo is old, but I just installed a new one to replace my old 965P-DS3P. All the other things are exactly the same, Intel DC-E6300 (266*10.5), GTX2700, 1G*2 Supertalent + 2GB*2 Transcend...
I was able to get 412*9, CPU voltage = 1.375V, with E6300 & P965, default voltage for others. That's not much OC(!?), but I didn't want to go over the VCore... And of course, with programs like cpu-z, I know I can give it a bit more juice
Anyway, since I've been using the OCed E6300 for more than a year, I thought I could just go with the same settings and try everything else 1st then come back latter for further OC... but I end up with lockup/hang even in bios! I don't think it's caused by MCH latch!? Could it be fixed by the CPU clock skew control?
It does seem fine to run with 348*10.5, 2.4(C strap) ram:fsb ratio, 1.4 CPU voltage though, 1.376 Vcore in cpu-z 100% load!
