DFI LANParty UT ICFX3200-T2R/G Mainboard on ATI RD600 Chipset

X-Bit labs takes an in-depth look at 'build for overclockers' DFI RD600 motherboard:

"By simply adjusting the processor Vcore and Vmem you can only reach about 400MHz FSB speed. Further overclocking will require at least increasing the North Bridge voltage to 1.2V. To ensure that the mainboard is running stably at 450MHz FSB, this value needs to be set at 1.5V. And for the 500MHz FSB speed, this voltage setting needs to go up to 2V, which is 66% higher than the nominal. In this case the chipset North Bridge gets scarily hot, so you need to install a fan on the chipset North Bridge heatsink if you want to proceed.
