That MB will allow you do OC some w/o issues. It has 8+2 phasing, so it has the power distribution necessary. The thing it lacks is heat syncs on the VRMs. They will get quite hot when OC'ing. W/o heat syncs they will fail earlier. You might want to look into getting some heat syncs for the VRMs. Here is one example: http://www.enzotechnology.com/mst_88.htm
And here is a thread devoted to installing it on that MB: http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php/667727-Gigabyte-GA-870A-UD3-mosfet-cooling

I happen to also have a 965BE that I OC'ed to 4.0 GHz by simply increasing the CPU clock multiplier with a tiny bit of vcore voltage bump. It can now keep up with the R9-280 I have with it.
