GIGABYTE P55-UD3P Motherboard Overclocking Test

Overclocking/Overclocking Tests by windwithme @ 2009-11-03

MB Chipset is P55 and all MB makers also launched the products at the same time. Currently, the P55 MB price is between 160~280 USD. If you want to buy LGA 1156 platform, i5-750 plus 160USD P55 MB is the best C/P. Certainly, if you need HT and also affordable, you also can consider i7-860. Merely, i7-860 price is very close to LGA1366 platform

DRAM doesn’t need 1.8-2.1V as LGA775

As Core i5/i7 build-in Memory Controller, the new DDR3 platform only needs 1.65V
DDR3 2000 CL8 needs only 1.50V and DDR3 2160 CL8 also needs only 1.60V
Above DRAM test, DDR3 quality is key factor, but also need good DDR3 OC MB to bring it out
