This is what Intel has tested with this board:Linky (http://www.cmtlabs.com/mbCertPartSearchResults.asp?sManuf=Intel&bNav=True&sMN=D875PBZ&oSubmit=Search)

Has anyone tried to overclock this board? I know Intel boards are not the greatest to overclock, however, it would be great to know what sort of potential these boards have.

The Crucial RAM will work great on the board. Note that the link provided showing RAM that works will not list Crucial-it's under the name of Micron. These chips should be more than sufficient since you can only do a 4% percent oc on the board. What's nice is if the recommened RAM from Crucial's site don't work for you, you can return the sticks for refund. :)

As Pointreyes stated Crucial ram will work just fine with the D875PBZ...I own one as backup to my Asus board...don't buy the high $ RAM for this board as you will not reap any benefit from it...Crucial or Buffalo Ram will work like a charm :thumb:

As far as OCing this board is concerned 4% is the max, Intel calls it "burn in mode". The memory stated above will more than reach that level of OC. The best possible memory timings will be 2-2-3-6 but it doesn't improvement memory performance significantly over 3-3-3-7 memory. This board does what it was designed to do run with stability! Well since they finally got the early "cold boot" and PAT issues resolved with BIOS revision P22.
