I was right, it is the memory.

With the memory at stock speeds I can OC the Processor as far as I want... As long as I don't exceed stock speeds. I guess my UD3r loved this memory and this board hates it.

You can flash the UD4P with Extreme bios, I didn't try myself but someone on XS successfully flashed his UD4P to Extreme but you have to use special flash tool.

I was right, it is the memory.

If you are using F8 bios so that's why you have problem, I have to use the later bios's to let my memory work @ 1600 with low latency. I recommend to use the latest UD4P beta bios, you can get it officially from gigabyte site.

I was very happy with that, but that was on my UD3r. On this board (UD4p) it won't go past stock... at all!

Good enough for me. I only have 3GB (1600MHz @ 8-8-8-18 | 1.64v) of memory, thats why I did standard. " High " uses more memory than I have so it says its unstable, which is malarkey, its just lack of enough memory. Max vcore is 1.31, max vtt is also 1.31. C1E state enabled, and Speed Step enabled. I like 1.05v while idle @ 4.0 with HT, thanks C1E! :D Bwaahhwhahahhahahh! I've been trying to get this D0 stable with C1E, vdroop control DISABLED (POS on this board), and Speed Step enabled. Finally!!!!!!!
