Exactly what voltages did you use to attain 4.5 GHz? I have the GA-X58A-UD5 and am having a terribel time getting it OC'ed... worse than the UD3R. If you can post those voltages that would help a lot. Thanks! :)



I find your post 100% true when it comes to UD5 but I managed to made my rig stable @ 4.01ghz using this settings below. Hardware specification is in my sig.

Hope this helps...

Just a quick follow up with my latest experience on this board at GO OC 2010. With the Revision 2, there have been a few improvements. First, OCP is reported to no longer be a problem. Here are my bench results with an "okay" i7 980x. I think my new retail chip will go much higher when I test it on the UD7, coming up shortly.
