Just wanted to chime in and thank the OP and others who posted here. Thanks to this thread, I picked up a Gigabyte GA-B85M-DS3H for $39 at Newegg after rebate (actually $29 after AMEX checkout discount). After tinkering for a day, I'm running a rock solid 4.2 @ 1.135 on stock cooler. Temps no higher than mid 70's on all Prime95 tests, and successfully ran 20 loops of x264 overnight. I'm sure I could push it higher with more voltage (board allows up to 1.2), but I'm happy with the setup. For $70 all in ($40 CPU sale at Fry's and $30 MOBO at Newegg), I don't see how this combo can be beaten for value!
