last week, got a Ep45-UD3P, it comes with gigabyte new feature of Ultra durable 3
and 2oz cooper pcb layer, im not talk how much cool it will reduce
but, i done a brief testing, looking for how much FSB this mobo can make it
as we know,some other mobo can work FSB 650mhz run 3Dmark with water cooled North-bridge,so im curios, and take a time to test this gigabyte's new mobo

after 2hrs figuring, i tried one time to FSB 680mhz and running 3Dmark06 with
Dualcore all enable of E8500,the NB just air cooled, but failed at GT1 of 3Dmark06.
but after i tested this mobo, it does work at 670mhz stable and pass 3dmark06
with 2core enabled.

very impressived with this mobo, a mainstram line done the best ever
for more information you can link to xs below, i post it few days ago.,
