Yes, it's a top mATX board for overclocking. The only downside is you need RAM that clocks well with 1.8V as there is no voltage adjustment for the RAM. There is for everything else, just not the RAM for some reason.
 
Also consider the XFX version, same price but more overcloking feature

also consider abit I-N73HD.
lowest manually selectable Vcore varies as it use the individually installed CPUs VID as the low level (of course C1E & EIST will allow it to run lower when not on full load).
It'll do about 460fsb, possibly more as I haven't really pushed (no need) & for all that I know it's the CPU that's fsb limited.

I have Abit mobos. Abit seem to have a policy of lowest voltage being the VID (ie you can only OVERvolt)..which isnt ideal for HTPC or quiet PC setups. Hence why I was asking (and am still asking) the Gigabyte owners a simple question but no-one seems willing or able to hit DEL at startup and answer my question :(
