My Gigabyte UD7 comes with CD. On there, is a software called Smart6.It offers the possibility to overclock Faster 3.08Ghz, Turbo 3.30Ghz and Twin Turbo 3.52Ghz.Since it comes from Gigabyte I think we can trust.I tried for 3 hours, all settings to the right and could fly at 30-50fps minimum.Jean Paul

What overclocking frequency are you using? Do you leave the overclocking on all of the time or only when you use FSX?I checked out Smart6 and ran some benchmarks using Everest Ultimate Edition and I get huge improvement using those tests.Again, thanks for the advise!

Thanks for the information about the Smart6 program. I've been so tied up with work that I did not see that program on the CD that came with the Gigabyte board. I will give it a try first. I'm a novice at overclocking and that is a good start. I have always been afraid of overclocking but Intel seems to expect their new processors to be overclocked and I see no major warnings from them as in the past. Yes, the i 930 and GTX 480 really work like a charm.Aloha,Chip

Hi Chip!I set the PC to twin turbo with FSX. In fact, my wife and me we decided to buy this new PC ONLY for her games and FSX. In order to aliviate our MacBook Pro and Vaio and Gateway. I also installed on this new machine X-Plane9 and probably will also install Fly!2.Jean Paul
